North Carolina authorities arrest armed man after threats against FEMA workers

The actions underscore growing concerns about safety and security of federal emergency personnel in western North Carolina amid a raft of misinformation.

@jeffjarvis Militias were made illegal under the 1903 militia laws.
All of these private militias need to be arrested and sent to Ft. Leavenworth for a few years awaiting trial by courts martial. After all, the claim to be military.

@Ralph058 @jeffjarvis Yup! “…the U.S. Constitution & state laws use the term ‘militia’ to refer to all able-bodied residents between certain ages who may be called forth by the government… All 50 states prohibit private, unauthorized groups from engaging in activities reserved for the state militia…”
And they are NOT protected by the 2A.
Georgetown University put these fact sheets out for voters & polling places, but the MAGA cancer has spread:

@heafnerj @jeffjarvis I believe there are laws making armed militias illegal in all states but for some reason the laws are not enforced. Maybe because the cops are usually entwined with the militias 🤷
Show threadCohenTheBlueOct 14, 2024
@Nonya_Bidniss @heafnerj @jeffjarvis More likely cops are there to get paid, not start actually difficult and controversial fights. How long have you heard of pressure being put on high police officials to "wrap up" high profile controversial cases, no matter the result? Just put someone in jail so noone writes about it anymore. Same thing with stuff like this, pretend it doesn't happen until the fire isn't too hot.

@jeffjarvis This is legitimately terrifying. There’s this many people who are indoctrinated so deep into the cult of MAGA that they would 1) find it acceptable to hunt/attack/?? other humans and 2) would do so against their own survival interests.

It’s worth reminding folks that ANYONE can be indoctrinated into a cult-like group. Being susceptible has NOTHING to do with intelligence. These groups don’t start off with extremes- they start off with a place of belonging. The further into it you go, the harder it is to leave because your brain is slowly convinced that these are your choices and your community.

It was a nut case from NC that was arrested for bringing an assault rifle to a Washington, DC, pizza parlor and firing it off in 2016, because of malicious online lies.

This is even worse. FEMA is there to help people, actually is helping people, and the online garbage is only hurting that effort.

Every one of the perps, online as well as off, should be arrested and made an example of.
