In addition to private group chat messages, archived social media posts allegedly show one Onslow County EMS employee has a history of posting offensive content dating back years.
The Social Media Evidence
Kyle Wenner, identified as a paramedic with Onslow County EMS, allegedly posted comments targeting the Black Lives Matter movement and immigrants in posts from 2016.
The posts were included in an anonymous submission to The North Carolina Beat alongside screenshots of private group chat messages.
The 2016 Dallas Post
One post responds to coverage of the 2016 Dallas police protest attack, where several officers were killed. The post allegedly states:
""You f—ks can take your Black Lives Matter bullshit and shove it up your a*s. A bunch of uncivilized savages are what they are.""
The Immigration Post
Another post shares an image containing text that reads:
""Welcome to the USA! Press 1 for English. Press 2 to disconnect until you learn to speak English.""
The Pattern
The combination of private messages and public posts raises questions about whether department leadership was aware of potential bias among personnel responsible for providing emergency care to diverse communities.
The private group chat messages allegedly show similar patterns—discussions about ""pure gene pools,"" racial slurs, and derogatory language about minority communities.
Still Employed
According to public records and the anonymous submission, Wenner remains employed with Onslow County EMS. The submission claims concerns about his conduct were previously raised with leadership, who allegedly denied knowledge.
Why This Matters
Emergency medical personnel are entrusted with people's lives during their most vulnerable moments. Evidence of bias—whether public or private—undermines public trust in the ability to receive impartial, professional care.
