They were covering the arrest of the suspect, but they made it sound like FEMA was providing all the resources needed in the area and that wasn't true. Most help came from private companies and individuals. FEMA airdropped 3 pallets of battery powered chainsaws and told the people to get more information on their website when they had no power. People are stuck on a mountaintop with 15+ miles of roads with downed trees to get through to reach help. Some need insulin. Many are running out or are out of supplies. When people get desperate, they do desperate things. So do their nearby friends and family who aren't trapped and don't see everything possible being done to reach them. FEMA needs to lead doing everything possible to reach the people, follow the lead of the locals in a supporting role giving them everything they need to do the job themselves, or get out of the way. My guess is the locals think they aren't doing enough and are getting in the way of local rescue efforts. Whether it's true or not, hard to say. However, when someone is so desperate, they are willing to threaten the rescuers, you know someone likely died who should have been rescued or someone's at risk of dying in the very near future. That one guy may not be the last threat against FEMA agents if things are getting that bad for the survivors. They might pull out entirely if they find out they lost hurricane survivors and the locals turn on them. Their poor response has unfortunately put them in this situation. I hope they can turn things around and provide a better response before it's too late.
