The Washington Post is reporting that Federal emergency-response staffers in hard-hit Rutherford County, North Carolina were directed on Saturday to stop working and move to a different area due to concerns about “armed militia” members on the prowl...

Hurricane recovery officials in N.C. relocated amid report of ‘armed militia… out hunting FEMA.’

    I’m not just guessing, they said so in the article:

    Note: The group pictured above was in Wyoming, not North Carolina. The picture is 10+ years old. They opposed Federal plans to reintroduce wolves. I cannot find any pictures of the group in North Carolina that is the subject of this diary. I suspect that they would be camera-shy. I have edited the photo to mask out the dead body of a wolf, apparently shot by this group. Some commenters said that the unedited photo was too graphic.)

      Sure, I’ll give you that.

      I’m still sticking with the assumption of mostly shared political beliefs, though.
