Hero Pilot Faces ARREST for Saving Stranded Families in NC Floods

*For no reason whatsoever, today’s vocabulary phrase is imminent domain:

Eminent domain is the legal power of a government to take private property for public use, as long as they provide fair compensation to the owner. This usually happens when the government needs land for public projects like highways, schools, or utilities. While property owners are compensated, they can’t refuse the sale if the government deems the project necessary for the public good.

Let’s just tuck that away for later. Might come in handy for any story pertaining to Hurricane Helene. Who knows?

So we have a former law enforcement officer turned volunteer pilot, in North Carolina.

He’s trying to help out in the community and run his own rescue missions for flood-stricken families.

But local authorities are threatening to arrest Jordan Seidhom.

Can't steal land if people are still alive! 😞

Remember, they’re are swamped and overwhelmed! But they don’t want any help.

Make it make sense.

I think we can smell something isn’t right.

The authorities also didn’t want to help those in Maui during the fires.

The Gateway Pundit reports:

Local authorities have threatened to arrest a former law enforcement officer turned volunteer pilot, Jordan Seidhom, as he undertakes life-saving rescue missions for stranded families in the wake of devastating floods in the North Carolina mountains.

On Saturday morning, Seidhom, a seasoned pilot with nearly 1,400 flight hours and a Class 1 certified law enforcement background, learned about a family stranded in Banner Elk, North Carolina, via social media, according to Queen City News.

With their supplies dwindling and desperate pleas for help flooding in, he took matters into his own hands along with his high school junior son, Landon. Loading his helicopter with bottled water and food, he set off to save lives.

“I thought, I have a helicopter, maybe I can help,” Seidhom told Queen City News Chief Investigator Jody Barr.

His heroic actions led to the successful rescue of multiple stranded individuals, including a pair of women lacking food and water and even a couple trapped on a precarious mountainside.

“And there were two other ladies who were out of town. They were staying at an Airbnb. They only had one day of supplies, which was gone by Saturday. They didn’t have any food, water, no running water, no power. And we were coming back this direction anyway, so we actually took them to Charlotte-Douglas Airport and they were able to fly home from there.”

Does the government have a monopoly on helping out?

This whole thing feels like Maui 2.0
