Airliners come under attack from idiots at Belle Isle Marsh

Jorge, who reported idiot duck hunters under a Logan flight path in Belle Isle Marsh on New Year's Day, reports they were back this morning. This time he took their photo:

... At this point the planes are very close to the ground. I heard them fire twice. I called the Boston Police twice from my cell phone and of course, the hunters and their dog packed up and left with no appearance from the Boston Police. These guys are a hazard in so many ways that I can't even begin to tell you without getting all balled up with anger.

But wait. Look at this Channel 4 report today: Fireworks Possibly Shot At Plane Landing At Logan:

... An Air Wisconsin regional jet was coming in for a landing over Winthrop Saturday afternoon, when the pilot reported seeing what looked like fireworks.

They appeared to be coming from the Belle Isle Marsh area. The plane was not hit and landed safely. ...

The Globe says it was a model rocket fired from the marsh around 12:26 p.m., or about 45 minutes after Jorge filed his blog post. So you've got dolts at one end of the marsh shooting rifles shotguns into the sky while planes are landing and dolts with model rockets at the other end of the marsh shooting their toys into the sky while planes are landing.

1. Hey, we're tight for recreational space up here in the city

We have to time our bird shots between those damn big tin birds, and New Year's is always the time to light off the fireworks leftover from July 4th that we didn't light off then because we passed out drunk. It's not our fault the planes fly so low on runway approach.
