Radio Hams Fired Upon In Haiti

Bruce Perens writes "A team of radio ham volunteers from the Dominican Republic visited Port-au-Prince to install VHF repeaters, only to be fired upon as they left the Dominican embassy. Two non-ham members of the party were hit, one severely. ARRL is sending equipment, and there is confusion as unfamiliar operators in government agencies join in on ham frequencies."

    We go over there to give them aid, and they get mad because we weren't there sooner. When we actually are there, they shoot at us and steal our things. Yes, they had a natural disaster. It sucks. But why don't we divert some of this money we're sending to other nations into OUR home? There are people starving on our streets. There are kids without shoes in our communities. There are homeless people desperately scraping by. If we focused our efforts on OUR country, we'd be able to make sure everyone was well cared for. We have enough money and resources for ourselves, but when we try to play babysitter to the rest of the world, we get shafted. Selfish? Maybe. But sometimes you have to feed your own family first before you worry about the rest of the world.

    Bullshit! This is nothing more than typical negro behavior. Same thing happens in africa and in New Orleans. When aid workers come to help negros they alway chimpout and start shooting at aid workers. When was the last time Asian or White people in need started shooting at the people trying to help them? TNB is what we have here.

    Yeah, call me racist but that doesn't mean I'm not right. Fuck'em. Let them die.

    Sorry, Hams - this is what you get when you try to offer brutal, savage niggers a helping hand. They aren't human, they're niggers - why even bother with them? During Katrina, mankind benefited a little from all those niggers drowning. This can only be a good thing.

    Why does it matter anyway, they're just a bunch of shitskinned jungle turds anyway. Let them and their families starve for all I care. Survival of the fittest and all that.

    Right, because echolink and CB squared are going to save the world when the fire comes. Please just shut up.
    Ham radio is a worthless throwback to a bygone era, like eugenics or electroshock therapy. It sounded legit at the time but now everyone knows it's worthless bullshit.
    You and your overgrown CB and your blue lights on your SUV aren't going to do ANYTHING in an emergency but sit there and watch while the REAL professionals take care of things.
    The sooner you and your fellow "hobbyists" are off OUR airwaves, the faster we can put them to PRODUCTIVE use.

    And yet I prefer them to anonymous bigots. People that hide behind the title "anonymous" while they try to degrade an entire people based on what a few idiots have done are despicable. The depths of my contempt for such filth as you is incalculable. Stay anonymous.....coward.
