I'm pretty sure you know what I've said, you just choose to play ostrich and spin-doctor as you see fit. (Or maybe it is the reading comprehension thing that continues to surface)
I've ALWAYS maintained that our STELLAR safety record has been due to each of us holding one another accountable to the safety guidelines at our fields. What we witnessed in the video is almost more alarming (as franklin and hydrp pointed out) as it shows (the Feds, the media, the general public) that the AMA is not really equipped to monitor adherance at established fields, let alone in the general public arena where the droners have proven disregard for safety time and time again. As someone here already mentioned, it's kinda hard to say, "they're not us" when, ummm, oops....yes, they are!
(BTW, I have NEVER singled out MR (as you allege in your post)
