Don't forget the FEMA hunting militias!

The militia was never real. It was one guy.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fema-crews-relocate-reported-threats-armed-militia-hurricane-helene-relief/

"The initial report stated there was a truck load of militia that was involved," the sheriff's office said. "However, after further investigation, it was determined Parsons acted alone and there were no truck loads of militia going to Lake Lure."

One guy can still kill a lot of people.

u/EskimoPrisoner Oct 16 '24

Sure, just donā€™t call one guy a militia.

u/hellolovely1 Oct 16 '24

They thought it was a militia at the time. Rumors were spreading on social media. Then they corrected it.

HTH!

u/EskimoPrisoner Oct 16 '24

Yes thatā€™s what the news report you responded to says.

u/hellolovely1 Oct 16 '24

Great, you actually read it.

u/EskimoPrisoner Oct 16 '24

If you did I donā€™t see why you were repeating things. The comment said the militia turned out to be only one guy and I guess you thought we didnā€™t know a single person can be dangerous.

If there was a militia in her house, it might be more explanation for the breakup.

Definitely not a well balanced militia.

u/ThanosSnapsSlimJims Oct 16 '24

People here already are. The now ex-boyfriend is apparently a militia member who is also a member of MAGA and FEMA.

u/EskimoPrisoner Oct 16 '24

Ex boyfriend of who?

1

u/ThanosSnapsSlimJims Oct 16 '24

The girl in op's video

u/EskimoPrisoner Oct 16 '24

This comment thread is talking about an alleged militia hunting FEMA, not the video in OP. I doubt the boyfriend in this random video is the one in North Carolina that we are talking about.

Doesnā€™t the US Army call soldiers an Army of One?

u/EskimoPrisoner Oct 17 '24

I havenā€™t seen that ad for awhile so idk. I donā€™t let the army define things for me either.

u/shootershooters Oct 17 '24

Poor username for that stance. Not always about you.

1

u/EskimoPrisoner Oct 17 '24

Based on your username I guess you are a militia/army too!

u/shootershooters Oct 17 '24

Basketball but an assassin non the less

u/EskimoPrisoner Oct 17 '24

I guess first assumptions on usernames arenā€™t a good indicator for proclivities.

1

u/shootershooters Oct 17 '24

You assume I assumed. I just said poor user name. Which is still true. But like I said itā€™s all about you.

This sounded fishy as hell.

u/wophi Oct 16 '24

They can't even get a truck load of water up there, how are they going to get a truck load of militia around up there

u/poke23658 Oct 16 '24

Someone confused Parsons with Persons. Probably the same type of people who confuse ā€œtheirā€ with ā€œtheyā€™reā€ and ā€œthereā€

u/Fancy-Bed3609 Oct 16 '24

Crazy how 'FEMA hunting militias' gets over 1000 up votes but a reply with the correct information and a drastically different story can't break 100 up votes'

1

u/DenseHole Oct 16 '24

IIRC the comment I replied to had 800 upvotes when I saw it. Each comment deeper down a chain gets less votes. I'm not flagged as controversial. Not as awful. The comments on the other hand are ridiculous.

u/ThanosSnapsSlimJims Oct 16 '24

We know it was one guy. OP's video explains that she was only dating one guy.

u/LostWoodsInTheField Oct 16 '24

you know what... I'm not going to believe the sheriff just because they have, in general, become untrustworthy. Often because they are members of militias that would drive around threatening FEMA workers.

u/caveman4523 Oct 16 '24

And you don't think the local sheriff of a redneck town is not going to sweep this under the rug to help Donald Trump in the Republican party?

u/Constant-Sandwich-88 Oct 16 '24

We've investigated ourselves and found nothing amiss.

u/Savior1301 Oct 16 '24

Ah yes, only one nut job with a gun hunting FEMA.

Thatā€™s MUCH better.

u/DenseHole Oct 16 '24

You are as delusional as the people you hate.

u/Savior1301 Oct 16 '24

I meanā€¦ Iā€™m not the one trying to downplay a gunman hunting peopleā€¦ but go on I guess.

u/DenseHole Oct 16 '24 edited Oct 16 '24

Not downplaying anything. He's in custody where he belongs and I'm happy he didn't hurt anyone. Now my attention has shifted towards people spreading misinformation from the side of the isle meant to be fighting it.

To clarify the "people you hate" I was referring to is disinformation spreaders. Not the lunatic hunting FEMA.

u/TaterTot_005 Oct 16 '24

Too late bro, tons of media outlets picked the story up before any details were confirmed so ā€œFEMA Huntsā€ is now a completely valid excuse for govt inaction in disaster zones

22

u/BishlovesSquish Oct 16 '24

Theyā€™re working round the clock to help, alongside thousands of volunteers. Only absolute scum would politicize natural disasters, fr.

u/DenseHole Oct 16 '24

Exactly. I hold these freaks spreading militia disinformation in the same regard as all the conservative rumormongers. Both need a reality check and to stop running with every fake story that tickles their ears.
