And risking his own neck while doing it.

A FW/D traffic helicopter reporter was fired for doing an on air highwater rescue without Bureaucratic permission. A life was saved but presous seconds weren’t wasted to ask prissy Karen’s permission.

[iontheball]

Ir’a worse than I thought, which was that the Biden administration is delaying rescue efforts because they spent all the FEMA money on the alien invasion. Now we hear they are actively preventing concerned citizen rescues.

" Hurricanes don't discriminate among Republicans, RATs or Indies. And none of them could have done a thing to prevent it."

True God's nature doesn't discriminate but certain politicians in control of the aftermath certainly do.

Trillions spent and little competence. Decades ago, when America was still America, there was competence at a fraction of the funding. The result of DEI, AA, and massive, unpunished corruption.

“ Seidhom brought his two-seater aircraft down”.
The helicopter is a Robinson R44. It is a 4 seater. He may have limited the passenger load to one depending on body weight but that helicopter will carry 4 people. Barney Fife LEO wants to be in charge.

since when do firemen have the power to arrest?

In the Hurricane disaster area, the two biggest and fastest United States Army rapid deployment divisions 101st and 82nd have a tremendous amount of personelle,helicopters,medical units,engineering units, etc etc to easily handle and respond to this. I understand one is on alert for the Mideast but the other can be deployed by Executive Order. Why isn’t this handled like Katrina? This disaster is being buried (no pun) just like Maui. Fedgov says f-em let them get a $750 check and a bag of Doritos!

[Blood of Tyrants]

Petty shit that doesn’t matter. I would have rescued them all and taken off before they could arrest me.

[Blood of Tyrants]

They gave billions to illegals and to Zelensky but just a pittance for its citizens.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Exactly. No jury would convict him. Unless the venue was changed to New York City.

[Blood of Tyrants]

They would arrest him, impound his chopper and generally make his life hell as long as they could.

I recall a similar situation with a bunch of boaters running volunteer recuses after Katrina.

[DiogenesLamp]

Seidhom said that the official told him 'if you have that kind of experience you should be coordinating with us'.

"Yeah! How dare you prevent us from claiming credit for your heroic efforts!"

[DiogenesLamp]

The government is at war with America.

Since 1861.

I recall a similar situation with a bunch of boaters running volunteer recuses after Katrina.

I believe that would be the Cajun Navy. They went into action during numerous recent hurricanes. Harvey comes to mind..

[eastexsteve]

Arrest me ! I demand a jury trial. I want the world to watch the trial.

I would imagine that if he makes too much noise, the FAA will charge him with violating restricted airspace. That's a fine you won't want to pay.

[ridesthemiles]

NOT coordinating ‘with the locals’.

[ridesthemiles]

ARE they also going after the MULTIPLE mules in a mule train delivering supplies over trails ONLY they can traverse???

Sometimes, the worst events show us the major ASSHOLES.

[xone]

I’d rather walk out.
