So it turns out that when the government refuses to do its job in a natural disaster, victims are to just suffer it out, as citizens helping flood-stranded victims is a big no-no with the government.
According to the New York Post:
A South Carolina pilot who flew stranded Hurricane Helene victims in flood-ravaged North Carolina to safety claims he was told he would be arrested if he continued the rescue missions.
Jordan Seidhom was flying victims out of the devastation over the weekend when local leaders told him there was a flight restriction on the area and that they would have to arrest him if he continued making flights.
“There were other victims. As we were flying out leaving the area, we spotted within 300, 400 yards of their location [people] were waving for help as my son and I were leaving,” Seidhom told Queen City News.
Jordan is a volunteer fireman and was once in charge of the Chesterfield County Sheriff’s Office narcotics unit. So he is not some rookie pilot trying to play hero and it’s disgusting that they won’t let him continue with the missions.
The father and son, both volunteer firefighters, flew four victims to safety on Saturday, including two women stranded at the top of a mountain and two vacationers trapped inside their Airbnb.
After sleeping in recliners in a pilot lounge at a nearby airport, the father and son went back out on Sunday and found a husband and wife who waved them down from their partially washed-away home.
The aircraft was small so he had to leave his son behind while he first saved the wife. Before completing the rescue mission he was informed that he would be arrested if he saved the husband and was only allowed to pick up his son. Subsequently, he was forced to tell the husband, who was now alone, that he would have to wait for a rescue that might not even come for reasons that make no sense.
Seidhom’s plans to return for the other victim and his son were squashed by an unnamed Lake Lure fire official, who allegedly threatened to have him arrested if he continued picking up stranded victims, Seidhom told the outlet.
By the time the restriction was lifted on Monday, Seidhom reloaded his helicopter with food and bottled water and flew back to Lake Lure with the Carolina Emergency Response Team, a volunteer group dispatching pilots where people need to be rescued.
While he is now doing everything he can to help those in need, Seidhom says he believes the Lake Lure fire official’s decision to stop him from picking up victims on Sunday put lives in jeopardy.
The types of “crimes” the government prioritizes are unfathomable. The officials who prevented him from saving lives are such a disgrace. What gives them the right to close the air like that when people are stranded and desperate for help? They should be fired immediately but they won’t because they were probably just “following orders” or some excuse that is supposedly meant to justify not saving lives.
Do you need any more reason to believe the government hates you? Because I think they have made their point loud and clear.
