who lasers?

Spoke to a copper, actually detective mate about this and he claims the attacks seem to cluster around expensive postcodes where people don't like jets flying overhead but forget about this on the regular flights for business.

Says they are from the same mind set that poisons tree in parks that get in the way of their views. Selfish, stupid morons with money in inverse quantities to their concerns about being responsible citizens, and so forth. Quite a diatribe, but I have a feeling he might be mainly right, since I had some involvement with fund raising for medical choppers which have also been lasered by wealthy f*wits who object to them flying over their quiet streets.

The bitterness directed at hospital medivac flights is totally over the top, and I think lasering a chopper could actually do some really serious harm.
