I am still trying to process how this coup organizing monster is running for any job outside of those available to the incarcerated.

about FEMA and the Red Cross interfering with local donations but they are rumors, only. The only verified account of interference with rescue efforts was the Lake Lure fire chief or asst chief protecting their turf and threatening to arrest a helicopter pilot so that was nothing to do with FEMA:

Seidhom said he tried to de-escalate and asked the official for instructions on how to communicate with the Lake Lure Fire Department while he was flying a rescue mission near the town. Seidhom said the fire official ordered him to leave and not come back.

“If that’s what you want us to do, we’ll leave no issue. And I explained to him that I left my son on the side of the mountain, and I left another victim. I was going to go back and bring them. It was already set up for the landing spot and then I would get out of his area. He told me I wasn’t going to go back up the mountain to get them, I was going to leave them there.”

Seidhom said he asked the official for a specific reason he was ordering him to stop his rescue efforts. “You’re interfering with my operation,” is the reason Seidhom said the fire official gave.

“I’m going back and getting my copilot. He said, ‘If you turn around and go back up the mountain, you’re going to be arrested.’ I said, ‘Well, sir, I’m going back to get my copilot, I don’t know what to tell you.'”

that whoever this guy who interfered with people being rescued should be fired but by the looks and reports about Lake Lure, he won't have a job, anyway, because it's wiped out.
