Post your full name, and email, Amanda, and then you can get on a high horse about identifying yourself on here. Otherwise, it's pot calling kettle beige.

People who say rude things under anonymous monikers are jerks, plain and simple--whether their comments are right or not. If you want to be rude, at least don't be a coward about it.

Inside the beltway is restricted airspace. Aside from being loud, helicopters are inherently dangerous, and it was irresponsible to keep one in a low hover over a densly popultated area just to get a few minutes of footage, if indeed that is what it was doing. I also am concerned that DHS did not properly respond to what could just as easily been a threat as a news helicopter.

Helicopters come and go from Walter Reed AMC all the time; Shepherd Park is used to over flights. What we aren't used to is the new media (your profession)deciding it is a good idea to hover for 2 hours is one spot (INSIDE RESTRICTED NATIONAL CAPITAL AIR SPACE) I guess you, the blog-o-meister thinks the 4th estate's zeal to get a story is OK and neighborhood children being awakened at 5:00am is unimportant and funny. Our Shepherd E.S. teachers didn't have an easy day with overtired kids. Ohhh, that's right you're problably single, live alone, (very alone) and never want to interact with children or pets; just sit in front of the computer and opine about things you are are SO incredibly KNOWLEDGEABLE. Then your small group of friends (very small) tell you how wonderful and witty your commentary is, and that yeah we stuck it to those uppity folks on the flower streets. Your real world is very small Jason. But, hey, its what earns you a paycheck. ShepDC Jason aka Insenstive Lout,
