So. FEMA Really Does Have Its Head Up Its Ass
Supporters rally behind McGee
About 150 people gathered in support of Forrest County Sheriff Billy McGee on Sunday, outraged at federal charges against him stemming from a dispute over ice trucks in the days following Hurricane Katrina.
Most who convened at the McLaurin Community Center added their signatures to a petition, which asserts that McGee acted in the best interests of residents when he seized a pair of 18-wheelers full of ice from Camp Shelby without Federal Emergency Management Agency authorization on Sept. 4.
"We had diabetic people who hadn't been able to put their insulin on ice for three days," said Lee Behrens, 53, chief of the McLaurin Volunteer Fire Department. "If it was up to FEMA, those trucks would still be at Camp Shelby."
"I didn't see anything wrong with what I was doing other than it was outside the protocol," he said Thursday.
"I believe he deserves a medal for helping the people of South Mississippi," Forrest County School District Superintendent Kay Clay told the group, which responded with thunderous applause.
Charlie Sims, 47, of McLaurin asked sheriff's deputies to relay a request from the people of South Forrest County.
"Would you please ask him to write a handbook for FEMA on how to make a decision?"

HEY, FEMA! HOW'S YOUR TRAILER BUSINESS THESE DAYS? Good grief, according to FEMA, it would have been better to let people die... by the thousands, most likely. It seems it's a good thing that people don't listen to the government.
