Arrest made after FEMA crews forced to relocate amid reported threats over hurricane relief efforts
CBS ^ | 10/14/24 | Nicole Sganga and Kelsie Hoffman

Posted on 10/14/2024 5:36:29 PM PDT by TomServo

As the nearly 65,000 residents of hard-hit Rutherford County, North Carolina, struggle to clear endless mud and debris left behind by Hurricane Helene, help hit a roadblock. Federal Emergency Management Agency crews were forced to relocate due to a reported armed threat against workers, first reported by The Washington Post.

An email sent by the U.S. Forest Service to federal responders in Rutherford County alerted them of an apparent standdown after National Guard troops reportedly encountered armed militia saying they were "hunting FEMA."

One person has been arrested in connection to the threat, CBS News confirmed on Monday.

Out of an abundance of caution, FEMA said its disaster assistance teams were being stationed at fixed locations instead of going door-to-door, which has been the agency's common practice in the past.

The customer, identified as William Jacob Parsons, 44, had made a “vague threat” that he was going to “go mess up some FEMA personnel,”

Was the person arrested named Ray Epps?

Later in the article, it seems to say the NG said they have no reports of their soldiers encountering any militia. Sounds like fake news.

Funny how the press didn’t have a problem when a certain other group of people threatened police… or ICE… or attacked senators and representatives…

“Out of an abundance of caution, FEMA said...”

After Deborah Birx, when I hear “out of an abundance of caution”, I totally discount anything the speaker has to say.

Its not as though there arent many examples of young American officers inappropriately using force on behalf of an administration who then suddenly rise through the ranks.

Military members reported as having superhero abilities to promote propaganda? Plenty of that too.

Why some have problems recognizing a false flag as blatant as this one is beyond me. Simply too afraid of what that would mean?

Oh ya, and those helicopters, totally an accident. Not trying to provoke anything. No, really...

...due to a ‘reported armed threat’ - reported by WAPO

...email from USFS re: and ‘apparent stand down’ between....

...reportedly encountered....

and the ever-present “out of an abundance of caution FEMA......”

ALL of this ‘apparently’ has gotten only ONE PERSON ARRESTED. Hardly an insurrection which it seems like the left and government agencies are seeming to want to portray...

ABC nightly ran this as one of their top stories.

Their narrative was this is an example of 'misinformation being dangerous'.

...or burned cities to the ground, or kicked business owners to death, or shot people in their cars who were just trying to get home.

[an example of ‘misinformation being dangerous’.]

They should look at the river of lies the Democrats have told regarding President Trump.

That’s an OCEAN of lies, actually.

Ridiculous. Smells like false flag.

Total baloney. FEMA is nowhere to be found in Ashe County or around southern Virginia. You only read about Asheville because FEMA has been holed up in Asheville and Charlotte because that is where the hotels are and they can get a good hotel bar. FEMA isn’t going out to find people with no food, water or medicine. Yet they claim they have rescued more than 3,000 in NC. HA

I guess they haven’t NOT saved enough people yet.

I agree. I doubt it really happened, at least not as stated.
