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."

They should

If they'd just use BPL in Haiti, then HAM wouldn't work and there would not be problems like this.

Well, I know the difference between "your" and "you're", use proper punctuation and grammar, and try to avoid using offensive language except ironically or for emphasis

What looks more ignorant? A compound sentence or a common (but annoying) typographical error?

You, and the rest of your bigotted, anonymous coward peers will be in my prayers, right after I finish praying for the people of Haiti. Your plight is even sadder, and undeserving of salvation as you may be, I will hope that the veil of hatred and ignorance is lifted from your eyes.
