[@Rich-ge6qh]

Donnie should be in jail, I don't get it. Look what he did to this guy.

[@FirstLast.....]

No proof provided.

Why is Donald Trump doing this?!?

[@bloodlove93]

lying? he's a politician using the first amendment? he's a legal american why what exactly?

[@donnalulloyd2072]

Because he can! He's that horrible!

FEMA has been hampering relied efforts since they got there - with video evidence. FEMA & the national guard have been caught stalling relief efforts from threatening arrests, rotor washes, blocking airport runways, confiscating aid, threatening arrests - all under DEMOCRAT control.

[@charlielopez127]

So, no proof, and it's totally within his Constitutional Republic protected rights to carry both defense weapons.

[@nankerphelgetv9308]

gee i wonder who he's voting for

[@AkbarZeb-p6f]

Definitely not a demokkkrat whose responsible for FEMA treason of hampering disaster aid instead of providing it!

[@stache1954]

He looks wired.

[@digittbr1688]

How would you look if you were mistakenly detained?

[@valerie11112]

Isn't he stuck up there 3 weeks already ? I would look pretty nuts with no services for weeks.

[@optimalprimidius7295]

He does look like a domestic terrorist. Looks......weird.

[@ladybungg4226]

@@digittbr1688it’s not what he looks. It’s what he acts that makes him get detained!

[@stache1954]

@@valerie11112 He was hanging around a gas station. He had transportation.

[@shoelessb4515]

What did they say he did? If they allowed him to post bail it could not have been serious. Stop the media hype.

[@dstarrII8442]

Yeah he looks like a pretty standard maga Trump supporter to me!!!

Sure he did 🙄 I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a ploy to drum up sympathy for fema

Lock him up for life🎯🇺🇸💯

[@digittbr1688]

Why? He isn't guilty of anything.

[@ANTYTRUMPEST-xz1nb]

@digittbr1688 threatening a fema worker with a AR15, it's absolutely disgusting 👹

[@utubegeneric]

If you got reliable news, you would know that he was talking to someone at a gas station. Probably like everyone else disgusted at the lack of fema response there. Not threatening fema workers directly. Further, the police report said the weapons were in his car, not on his person. But, it's OK if you want to jail the man for life. You're entitled to your wrong opinions and the courts don't listen to you anyway.

[@utubegeneric]

@ANTYTYMPEST-xz1nb As I said before youtube deleted my prior comment. If you actually watched news that reported real facts, you'd know that he didn't threaten fema. He was talking to someone at a gas station. Likely disgusted at the lack of fema response like everyone else in the region. He also was not carrying his weapons and they were in his car. Even if they aren't, NC is a constitutional open carry state. To further that, when he got to the fema center to try to get help, they were closed because it was the weekend.
