This is just the beginning. A line from right wing "patriot" to Asian American in the movie "Civil War": "ya but what kind of American are you?" We are sooo fucked if things go wrong in November
SciFiGuy2018
Let me guess...MAGAts?
Pyrowolf1
More like Maggots
5NoteHalf
I don't think you even need to guess at this point. It's a given.
WaxDragon
The true domestic terrorists
bildschoen
Not "well regulated," that's for sure.
LeftRightThere
What is the likelihood they are “protecting” something illegal like a meth or fentanyl operation…
KnifeKnut
Disappointed that CNN has chosen to call it Misinformation rather Disinformation, since this is deliberately false information being deliberately spread.
billymaditsdone
Wait...the armed militia threats are false?
5NoteHalf
I'd call it LIES.
Alex7RC
Call it lies. Disinformation sterilizes it.
FloatingOnACloudOfTitties
CNN has turned into Faux News Lite.
Icantthinkofacleverusernametouse
Doesn't rules of engagement mean you can shoot people interfering in rescue operations?
SuperfluousMeh
This whole situation makes me absolutely fucking sick. This has never happened before donald. I'm so sick of him and his fucking cult, I'm so bloody fucking sick of them all!!!!!!
DukePhelan
Withdrawal the FEMA responders and send in the drones. If they want to play domestic terrorists they should suffer the consequences of their choices via FPV drone strikes.
kd97pCookieFlyer
I must have missed the part of the story where the National Guard fired on the militia, which took heavy losses of red hat dick heads.
Spanky44
I know some people just suck, but it has been so strange to watch as 1/3 of this country actively tries to destroy it.
Bojovnik84
At that point, full force of the military should come down on that militia and arrest them all. That's an actual of terrorism.
coffeeandprozac
How about we arrest the assholes for interfering with emergency response personnel, harassment, making deadly threats, at least public nuisance, I'm sure there's about 10 laws they're violating here... I hope we'll see appropriate consequences. Otherwise, prepare for more assholes to be emboldened and take similar steps to harm their communities.
friendsofsandwiches
As Winston Wolf once said, "I'm here to help - if my help's not appreciated then lotsa luck, gentlemen."

No matter how hard you try to help, some people just want to walk off the edge. Say goodbye and walk away.
BeastofKnowledge
Ok so their mad that they didn't get enough water.
Solution, attack the people bringing water?

I hope it is just paused ... so they could move.
xj4low
I don't think that should be called an armed militia. Call it what it is, a gang unit.
WeatherWiz
What…and I can’t express this more clearly…the FUCK?
andwings2go
Better that no one gets help than for one immigrant family to get help, MAGA logic at its finest.
johnnyhandbags
Republicans have been trying destroy FEMA for years. Why use government money to help common people when disasters present a great opportunity for developers to buy land for cheap?
ballsoutflyer
trump. that's what.
Sandyundertones
These people were just as disfunctional before Trump. He just gave them a platform to unite behind.
darkdragonempress
That’s the problem. Dysfunctional individuals generally will have minimal ability to cause issues. United dysfunction does this.
WeeemRCB
Probably the same reason that animal activists used to put glass in random baby food (UK. A while ago). It's all about free press
fedmoney
Practicing for November 5th
somethingstupidandclever
Trump straight up told them fema are bad people. Dangerous people. Why isn't he in jail?
MyBackHurtz
It can only be some kind of time shift, altered universe, CERN event, or alien intervention. I don't know what the fuck is happening anymore either. And I can't state that any more clearly.
veritas1980
this is the GOP's doing. both for being servants of the NRA, and for spreading all the various bits of scurrilous propaganda that leads these people to behave this way.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
Home-grown American terrorists. You might have heard of them under their media aliases, like "states rights enthusiasts", "far-right activists", or "harmless patriots".
iamamentat
Well, also, bad actors have been stopping civilians trying to get to friends with supplies and confiscating supplies, which they aren't entitled to do. Some of these bad actors even have government badges, though I'm unclear if they are true government employees or people posing as them. I'm not assessing the validity of the article because this probably is happening as well, but these people aren't all raging morons. There is an untold story most times imo.
AimingForAdorkable
This.
Also, it isn’t uncommon for bad people to form makeshift gangs or for there to be riots, or mass social upheaval, during a time of crisis like this.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a bunch of people going on crime sprees in the area, and the community formed a local militia to help.
ZookyPooky
THIS is the result of stochastic terrorism.
Rink257
Those Trumpers should be imprisoned and charged with preventing emergency aid.
That should be a felony. Is it not? Are we just gonna ignore this felony, too?
Azazellosarmour
MAGA is an anti American terrorist organization
stronomer
Threaten teachers with imprisonment for teaching, put a mark on Covid heroes like Fauci and doctors, drive FEMA personnel away, what's next? Declare ambulance drivers to be part of the Big Pharma deep state? Claim utility worker wanting to put spy tech into your house? Failing country.
perlninja
That's what decades of shitty education systems, a superiority complex, corrupt government, and mainstream media control gets you. A good sized chunk of the population indoctrinated to the point they stopped realizing they're dumber than a doorknob and their only purpose is to toil for their corporate overlords. And they love it.
stronomer
Hey look, burgers are 20% off and Twinkies have come back!1!
supercerealsteph
As a North Carolinian, I say fuck ‘em
KarmannGeezer
As another NC fella, I do too.
Miyamotofan
Sorry let's try this again but how it would look in a sane world. "Domestic terrorists arrested after attempting to block federal aid." There that looks better. Let's try it like that.
f3n1x187
......so fire at them! wtf man!
override367
time to give the natl guard gun and remind the gravy seals are as much an army as a pile of sticks is a house
tzahtman
A completely predictable response given the deception of the Trump organization and the staggering gullibility of their followers.
BarryTheCyborg
I'm pretty sure North Carolina is a stand your ground state. FEMA workers should do what they want with that information
Jandegrote
I think they rather not die or get shot at.
Pwnzistor
They didn't sign up for that shit. It's not on them to deal with those crazy people.
DukePhelan
Fuck that send in the marines and hunt down ever last one of them. They can surrender and face charges of terrorism or die and be buried in unmarked graves at sea like the terrorists they are.
whyismyusernametakenalready
black dude sitting calmly in car, says he has a (licensed) gun when asked after being stopped for a tail light while driving: executed on the spot because he could be dangerous.
whyismyusernametakenalready
Bunch of white dudes with automatic weapons literally threatening people: perfectly ok
whyismyusernametakenalready
Is it just because they’re white, or is it because they’re friends from work?
ArchaeoJones
Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses.
DisembodiedHead
Issue out the service weapons and ammo and let nature take its course. I was in the Army and was part of several disaster relief missions and you have to defend yourselves no matter what.
ArchaeoJones
Except that what these morons want. Remember Bundy and Bundy 2: 50 gallon drum of lube boogaloo? These idiots want to be martyrs for their cause.
LuminoZero
The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.
whyismyusernametakenalready
“Democrats use federal agents to execute republicans defending the constitution!” - which recall they believe is acceptable anyway: their platform at this point revolves around the use of violence against any non-trump supporter. The result is they also believe everyone else thinks the same way, so they think that is plausible. Just like they do with all the “Biden is withholding aid” shit - they did that, and they assume that because they’re shitty people so is everyone else.
SpeedBeetle
The fuck are you doing, US? The National Guard is your militia. Other armed groups are called gangs.
PineappleLoopsBroether
Seriously I’m so disappointed that the national guard hasn’t been called in to kill these stupid fucking white trash terrorists even once
keyblader1985
Isn't threatening government agents terrorism?
doireallyneedausernameffs
Yes. Yes it is.
DumpsterSauce
Apparently it's "Going Armed to the Terror of the Public, a misdemeanor" when you're white which is just a $10,000 bail
Jarjarthejedi
Well that depends, you have to apply the standard test after all...
:/
