If you're a real North Carolinian then you have friends, family, and neighbors who are Republican. You would know better than anyone what information gap and knowledge is being presented to them with local radio and their social circle. Stop spreading misinformation, that damns us all. Instead try to educate and show them the subtle difference in what's being presented to them and the logical fallacy the republican mindset leads to. There are no militia hunting down FEMA

abandoning door-to-door visits, after receiving threats that they could be targeted by a militia, officials said ... a man with an assault rifle who made a comment “about possibly harming” employees of the Federal Emergency Management Agency

Authorities got a description of a suspect’s vehicle and license plate and later identified him as William Jacob Parsons, 44, of Bostic. Sheriff’s officials said in a statement that Parsons — who was armed with a handgun and a rifle — was charged with “going armed to the terror of the public,” a misdemeanor. He was released after posting bond. The sheriff’s office said initial reports indicated that a “truckload of militia” was involved in making the threat, but further investigation determined that Parsons acted alone.
