… Yesterday, they ran, like, 30 something planes — And FEMA has flown in, like, 10 or more helicopters and blocked a runway here at Greenville downtown, completely took over or almost took over the operation” “FEMA's gonna come here and try to stop it. And they took over one of the hangars over here too. We'll show you as much as we can. It's absolutely ridiculous. Here's the helicopters that are blocking one of the runways here at Greenville Downtown. (See video) All flown in by FEMA, helicopter pilots. And they're just sitting there doing nothing.” “FEMA came in and halted all that operation. When there's 1,000 of pounds of supplies over there that could be taken, When there's 1,000 of pounds of supplies over there that could be taken, they're just sitting there doing nothing and blocking the runway with however many helicopters.” Related: FEMA: 2024-10-05 Puerto Rico finding out that FEMA was hiding survival goods just to make Trump look bad.

| #6 Goodness gracious, Fat Bob Whash8450 — you are getting a tad overexcited. What you are actually seeing is the process by which early information turns to rumour, which is investigated and supplanted by facts collected on the ground. It’s a normal human process during disasters, occurring here considerably quicker than the historic norm, I’m pleased to observe. Reading the tweet carefully, after all, it can be seen that FEMA blocked one of the runways at the airport, took over one of the hangers, and is accused of not helping the private group deliver the supplies the private group collected for those in need. Nothing wrong with any of that, though one can understand why the participant, running probably on fumes and adrenaline instead of taking time out for thoughtful perspective, would wax indignant. Because that’s how we roll in America — the volunteers get there first to deliver the most critical needs — food, water, first aid, fuel for chainsaws to start opening the roads… then the government arrives as a rested second wave with bedding, shelter, more food and water, hygiene supplies, doctors and nurses, and gets started repairing the infrastructure. The human psychology piece is that rumours are a mechanism to galvanize the community to start the process. That some of the horrors shared turn out later not to be true isn’t as important as the fact that the signal to MOVE! to DO! flash down our communal nerves. The tweets you collected show some of the simplistic thinking on the Democratic side rather than delivering the slashing arguments against Republicans that you intended. Sorry. |

| #1 Well, the Sheriffs can always arrest the FEMA problems as they promised a few days ago. But why is the NC Governor so quiet on the issue? Could we be looking at another Hawaii disaster situation, where the $$$$$$ / Elites ended up own the choice land? |
