“They were shooting at helicopters! That’s why they couldn’t rescue people!” This struck me as bullshit the second I heard it. 99.9% of the time people do shit, good and bad, for a reason. A drug dealer is trying to make money. Armies go to war because their homeland is threatened. Oh, wait. Strike that last one, I guess that falls in the .1%. Anyways you get the point. What’s the point of randomly shooting at helicopters during a crisis? You too would recognioze it as bullshit, unless of course, you find it easy to believe that black people are irrational, unruly, and willing to shoot at helicopters for no apparent reason.
Anyways, the story is bullshit.
Laura Brown, a Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman in Washington, said she had no such report.
"We're controlling every single aircraft in that airspace and none of them reported being fired on," she said, adding that the FAA was in contact with the military as well as civilian aircraft.
