William Parsons (44) arrested for threatening to harm FEMA employees in North Carolina

A North Carolina man was arrested over the weekend for allegedly threatening harm against FEMA employees responding to Hurricane Helene, according to the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office.

William Jacob Parsons, 44, was arrested and charged with Going Armed to the Terror of the Public, a misdemeanor, Capt. Jamie Keever said in a news release issued Monday.

“Parsons was armed with a handgun and a rifle,” Keever said.

The sheriff’s office began investigating Saturday after receiving a call that a man “made the comment about possibly harming FEMA employees working after the disaster of Hurricane Helene in the Lake Lure and Chimney Rock area.”

Parsons was found later that day after investigators received information about the color and license plate of his vehicle, according to the sheriff’s office.

Parsons was arrested in his car outside a grocery store that is functioning as a storm relief site, Keever said.

Aid to several communities impacted by Hurricane Helene was temporarily paused in parts of North Carolina over the weekend due to reports of threats against Federal Emergency Management Agency responders, amid a backdrop of misinformation about responses to recent storms.

They are crazy MAGA that listened to crazy MAGA leaders who spew conspiracy theories and harmful rhetoric in order to hype people up and keep them under control. MAGA leaders are telling their people that FEMA is coming to take their land, is part of the big government trying to control them, etc, etc...

His fb is exactly what I was thinking it would be.

[raisedbywolves]

@Nic, Yeah, I didn't even look. I saw his pic on the article and I was like "yep, that's who did that!"

Ang, it's like the people that have been attacking our power grid around the US. https://mydeathspace.com/vb/showthre...ght=electrical

Why in the hell would you attack our power system unless you are crazy and unhinged and believe all these crazy MAGA lies about 5G, flat earth, etc. They want so bad to be right with their crazy that they try to make it happen and they really want to murder people so this seems like as good an excuse as any.

MAGA are scary with all their dangerous rhetoric. I have a friend whose daughter goes to college near Springfield, Ohio. She is a POC and last week someone put a sign with the word n*gger and a swastika outside her dorm room.

I truly don't understand this world we live in and I have grave fears that he is going to win this election because too many American men refuse to vote for a woman. I am getting the same vibes I did near the end of the 2016 election.

[Bewitchingstorm]

Same here. I think the one saving grace is people are turning out in record numbers to vote early.

BWS - OMG that is awful!!!

[Angiebla]

That happened in Ohio? God dammit.

[raisedbywolves]

It's happening everywhere.

[Bewitchingstorm]

@Nic - I know...it is. She is such a sweet young woman who is excited to be old enough to vote for the first time in a presidential election.

@Ang - Yep, Ohio.

Any man who wouldn't vote for a female candidate isn't really a man at all.

Read that again until you fucking understand it.

I said you are a ginormous pussy for your inability to vote for a woman, and you can kiss the darkest part of my entire ass for being such a dog shit human.

Anyone not understand that?

I don't personally give two fucks who you vote for, but not having the balls to vote for a woman? You're a goddamn cowardly sack of dog shit, and you can take your last breath knowing that.

Yes, I said that, and I fucking meant it.
