  1. Wish I could say I was shocked but this is what misinformation gets us. Every single person who has aided in spreading this misinformation should feel responsible for this.

  2. @FiFo911  Sure, it's legal to do that but apparently that's not what this person did. Plenty of witnesses and statements to sheriff to charge him

  3. No, not yet but they immediately had to blame someone so the government is it and it's because they "control the weather" and wanted to create this disaster so that rich companies could get the mining rights in some of the areas affected. 😂

  5. @JoeBlow-Knoxbaddrivers  the news clip covers both stories, and this person acts like in either story that they had a right to harass fema workers cause they're just "criticizing the government" while legally carrying. And I said, of course you can criticize the government while legally carrying, but that person in the second story was arrested, so he obviously did something besides just "criticize them."

  6. @Jeff-zf6uy  i think it's exactly misinformation. Fema had to create a "rumors fact sheet" on their website to help stop the misinformation. I know our areas are not used to having disasters where fema is needed, but they seem to have a vast misunderstanding to what fema does. Fema more so reimburses state and local agencies and signs people up for aid. People spread all over social media that these people were only going to get $750 total. That's not true. One simple search tells you that's not true. The same people complaining about the amount don't seem to know that the amount has been raised and it was $500 during Katrina. These same people don't bat an eye that fema "only gave hurricane or tornado victims $500-$700" until it happened to our area. It's like they expected fema to rescue people, build bridges, pay people multiple thousands, and bring food and supplies all within 2 days, or else there was a big conspiracy going on. People are showing up, armed or not, and trying to hurt fema workers, bully them, run them out of their area, etc. Is 100% the result of the misinformation that's been spread particularly on tik tok but facebook as well. Lastly, the topography of the areas affected has made this disaster even harder to get aid to. This isn't flat land, and with roads and bridges gone, it's caused delay responses, and people need to understand that.

  8. Good lord... you swallowed the misinformation and conspiracy theories whole. I'm surprised you didn't choke.

  9. ​@TrustKnowWun lol... love the edit. So basically, the local news station, by reporting on republican thugs who fell for the misinformation put out by their beloved and other allies and have repeatedly showed up to fight with fema purely based on the misinformation they've watched on Facebook or tik tok, makes the station a "dem activist?" Thanks for answering!
