The sheriff's office in Rutherford County, NC, announced Monday that they'd arrested a man and charged him with allegedly threatening to harm Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) workers in the area. William Parsons, 44, of Bostic, NC, was charged with "going armed to the terror of the public," according to a statement from the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office provided to ABC News. The Rutherford County Sheriff's Office statement said deputies on Saturday investigated reports in the vicinity of Lake Lure and Chimney Rock that a "white male had an assault rifle and made the comment about possibly harming FEMA employees" working in the area.
Like seriously. They explicitly said they’re too insecure with their masculinity (unless it’s porky) for relief, and then when they get exactly what they asked for, they’re mad?
Nah I’m talking wild shit like the Department of Energy’s Federal Protective Forces, or United States Postal Service’s Postal Inspectors, or the National Institutes of Health’s Division of Police.
I looked into it a bit more for background info and I found FEMA’s under the the DHS, so whatever squirrelly paramil outfits the DHS runs can be allocated to FEMA I’d presume.
AFAIK the Secret Service was started as the militant anti-counterfeiting wing of the Treasury. Only later on did they get protection details for US politicians and their families.
Chuds: Why is the government giving money to Ukraine and Israel when it could be giving it to FEMA?

It’s only because a Democrat is in charge.
Not so sure. Didn’t all the “FEMA camps” conspiracy theories start after Katrina under Bush?
I think so, but they went mainsteam under Obama. The Katrina clean up efforts were still going on well into 2010, well after midterms.
Early FEMA conspiracies were mostly circulated among sovereign citizen types. By Obama, they were being shared by Fox News and Breitbart.
Got it. We need to arm FEMA.
As much as it would fuel the FEMA Conspiracy, it seems at this point to be needed.
I’d honestly be surprised if FEMA didn’t have an armed paramilitary branch like all the other agencies do.
Just shooting into the sky like Yosemite Sam
You’d figure National Guard is that point but they’re too busy blowing up the Middle East to Guard the Nation.
