Well, howdy there internet people, it's Bell again. So today we're going to talk about a lesson from North Carolina.

There are a lot of times we hear news and don't process its deeper meaning.

That is probably the case when it comes to the situation that occurred in North Carolina

and the misinformation that spread, how people reacted,

and how they might have reacted

once they found out the information was false.

Recently, news broke that relief and recovery workers had been given a stand-down order

and were told to return to their hotels after word spread of locals looking to harm FEMA

employees.

One person was arrested, but some of the details being glossed over in the reporting

might actually showcase how harmful the conspiracy theories on social media really are.

The man charged reportedly confirmed a social media post was his.

It said, quote, we the people are sick and tired of the

BS. We the people are seeking volunteers to join us and overtake the FEMA site

in Lake Loor and send the products up the mountains this Saturday.

We the people are done playing games.

It's time to show who we are and what we believe.

They want to screw our citizens. Now we return the

favor. Overtake and return the favor. It sounds pretty ominous. He was asked about the post and reportedly explained

that he believed FEMA was refusing to aid people and so quote, we were going to go up there and forcefully remove that fence.

He went to the site and then this weird thing happened.

It wasn't like he had been led to believe.
