Rescue 'ticket'
I am stunned by an interview I conducted with New Orleans Detective Lawrence Dupree. He told me they were trying to rescue people with a helicopter and the people were so poor they were afraid it would cost too much to get a ride and they had no money for a "ticket." Dupree was shaken telling us the story. He just couldn't believe these people were afraid they'd be charged for a rescue.
Depending on who the rescuers were, they might be.
That alone might make some want to shoot at helicopters.
Thanks to Atrios for the link.

Actually, there have been numerous news stories about the US Coast Guard and National Guard charging for rescues at sea and in the mountains over the past decade.
