12. Tx. I forgot to provide that. Damn paywalls! n/t

4. Welcome to my world

Sad to say, as a resident of Rutherford County, I can confirm this story does not surprise me.

[Dem4life1234]

5. And what are those armed militia doing for their people?

Are they even providing support?

I'm so damn sick of these people.

[Probatim]

6. I have a friend who does Individual Assistance site visits shared the same thing with me on Sunday morning.

He's not in NC but the warning went out to all field personnel - and included a hotline to call for threats.

[CousinIT]

11. Thank you for coroborrating the story.

Damn. This is just some sick activity. I feel bad for the FEMA workers having to do their jobs under potential threats.

7. FEMA is Federal, federalize the State National Guard

FEMA is Federal, federalize the State National Guard to protect Federal activities.
A complete Guard call-up would force half of the militia to switch sides, at least temporarily.

When gangs control the neighborhoods, one sees places like Haiti and it has been so through so much of history.
Gangs are the antithesis of government until they begin to provide services in the neighborhoods that the government has ignored.

8. Just Do It. Time to take charge.

[ananda]

23. Yeah, I was wondering why those armed wingnuts were left alone.

They need to be rooted out of there, stat!

[lpbk2713]

9. Trump is an accessory to all this disruption.

Revoke his bail.

I wasn't familiar with the poated source so dug around a bit

[liberal N proud]

15. I was just reading that

Came here to see if I was reading it wrong.

[Evolve Dammit]

13. This will continue as the lies and rhetoric increase. So reckless

[AdamGG]

19. If Dump wins, this is a

preview of coming attractions.

[liberal N proud]

14. My god, will they stop at nothing?

This should be considered a terrorist threat

[babydollhead]

16. It's like the people who attacked the hospitals during an Ebola outbreak

[AdamGG]

18. There should be a trial/lawsuits about this

after November 5th. And it would make for a hell of a North Carolina campaign ad right now.

[RainCaster]

20. Between the Trumpanzees and Russian trolls...

These poor people didn't stand a chance. I will be so glad when TSF goes to prison and the retoric dies down.

[moniss]

21. America needs to realize that this is

a precursor to what life will be like all across the country if the Orange Ruski gets in. Do you really think that he is beyond telling Texas as a state and the Federal CBP to "shoot to kill"? What does anybody think will happen to protests in the street? The answer is look at the leaders he idolizes and how they run their countries. That is what he will do here. The question is if the military or CBP push back and refuse for example will he "deputize" these whacko militias?

[Wounded Bear]

22. Governor should declare Martial Law and put the National Guard in there in force...nt

[Deep State Witch]

24. The NG is there

Doing their job of disaster recovery.

[Wounded Bear]

25. Maybe he should up the number of combat troops vs support troops, and arm them...nt

[Deep State Witch]

27. While I Am Not a NC Resident

I'm sure that the nature of this disaster is "all hands on deck." If they are holding any guardsmen back, it would be in case another hurricane hits the Outer Banks.

And, if Biden called out the military police, it would just spin the rumor mongers up more.

[somaticexperiencing]

26. unfrickingbelievable! In The Stars and Stripes no less. This ought to turn some heads. Ought to.

[gab13by13]

28. Meal Team Six

is hunting Federal workers, President Biden has the authority to send in Seal Team 6 to handle the situation, according to our fascist Supreme Court.

[TBF]

29. Has our military been engaged? If not they should be. nt

[Bev54]

30. They are not militia, rather they are gang thugs wearing colours.

We should never refer to these retrobates as militia.

[onetexan]

31. Why isn't the National Guards arresting these domestic terrorists terrorizing FEMA workers?

[Bev54]

32. Good question

[LuvLoogie]

33. The FBI should do it. That's why it's not happening.

[harumph]

34. They should be treated like looters.

[Island Blue]

35. Theses "militias" are terrorists

and should be treated as such. You want to march around somewhere in your cosplay costumes, fine. That’s your First Amendment right. But the minute you start physically threatening government officials or citizens, you should be treated as a terrorist. (Or at the very least, treat them like any other thugs who threaten people .)
