” My coworkers and I were exhorted to volunteer for the Katrina disaster. The rescuers were targets for snipers or whatever you call people who shoot at rescuers. The Tennesseans didn’t try to kill anyone who tried to help, as far as I know. If you can give me information to the contrary, I’d like to know about it. Thanks!

I’d like a source of the attack on your co-workers so that I can do a little research. In the mean time, you might find the following article interesting.

It doesn’t matter anymore. I’ve also removed myself from my location of origin where people threw rocks, missiles, etc. at rescuers who appeared in the projects to put out fires. Get over it.
