I’ve never heard of a fire chief having the ability to get someone arrested.

They don’t want the rest of the country to see how much those areas need the help that Biden-Harris aren’t giving them.

Makes zero sense.

Makes perfect sense: "First Responders" (hah!) don't like mere "civilians" doing effective rescue work when the "first responders" (hah!) are sitting around with their thumbs up their asses. It makes people think they may not be quite so necessary ...

Jordan Seidhom, you have my respect! This is what a man does, selfless giving to help neighbors in need.
I have a shorter fuse for people with no common sense, so I probably would have been arrested.
Mr Seidhom seems to have kept cool and polite, to his credit.
Unlike Biden/Harris, and Walz, he didn’t leave his man behind.

If they actually arrested him for violating a future temporary flight restriction zone, he’d likely get enough from the settlement to buy a second helicopter for cash, IMO.

Seidhom said that within a half hour of the threat of arrest, a Temporary Flight Restriction was set up over the Lake Lure gap, where he had been conducting rescue efforts.

~~~~~~

EVIL!!

++++++

The father and son flew home, calling off their efforts. On Monday though, that temporary restriction was lifted, and Seidhom threw food and water into his helicopter and headed back to Lake Lure and joined up with the Carolina Emergency Response Team, which has called for private helicopters to help in efforts.

~~~~~
God bless these REAL rescuers!!

No fly area for drones-—? Glenn Beck show this AM got a tip from Chimney Rock (Lake Lure,NC) that a federal official “met” with surviving locals, and told- them:

There will be no re-building of Chimney Rock. It will be plowed under (and NO Titles to private property to transfer to private parties either survivors or heirs of the dead)!!!

Also said the town will be bulldozed and scraped flat- NO town!

This is not confirmed but sure sounds like MAUI/LaHaina all over again!!
Those in the know get back on FR here! This is insane! Federal takeover of private property is NOT legal whatsoever.

> Makes zero sense. None<

Unless the out of state guy barking orders, who no one really knew anything about, was a fed. (Was he wearing khakis and a polo shirt?)

How else could an “out of state fire chief” get a TFR set up in 30 minutes. One call to Mayor Pete? Hmmmm.

It has been my experience over the past 50 or so years that sick little people should not be placed in positions of authority. The problem is weeding out those people before they weasel their way into power.

They’ll go blue because the people who who vote for R’s won’t be able to make it the polls, and they won’t have mail service to their normal addresses. Problem solved. Disenfranchise them and the Dems will be elected handily.

Arresting officer Barney Fife with a mean streak. And zero brains. I’m surprised he didn’t pull his bullet out of his pocket and threaten to shoot this good Samaritan.
