| BEWARE OF THE RUSE !!!!This goes out to all of the silent observers who secretly wonder why there has been no answer to a few key questions asked repeatedly yet never responded to. Like JUST HELIS, I was actually there for the accident and also made numerous calls to the 4 bulletin board listed numbers for Harris County to which there was no answer after repeated attempts. I was refused the following information repeatedly by the 911 dispatcher after begging shamelessly while my friend Ronnie desperately needed more help than any of us were capable of rendering him. All calls to 911 were made from celluar telephones so there will be no problem with times, etc. Here is a sample:
Maam could you give me the address of the nearest trauma center?!
No, I can't, I dont have that information, sir.
Well maam, could you give me the address of the nearest Hospital, because we need to take him now?!
I'm sorry, we already have someone in route.
Maam, it has been too long now, give me the address of the nearest Fire station.
Sir I'm sorry, but I cant give you that. We already have someone enroute and I can't override the Officer on the scene!
What!! I'm standing right next to the Officer and he hasn't said or done a single thing. Are you telling me that he is directing you not to give me the address of the nearest Fire Station?!!!!!!! Get me a supervisor right now !!!
And so on............
Don't you find it strange that no clarification of the AMA status of the pilot has been forthcoming from the Billy and wife clan?
Have you ever heard of a competent attorney advising his client to talk about a fatality publicly wherein civil and criminal liability exists for his client? Well thats what they said. Read through their posts!
There are specific reasons for both of these. I never saw Billy's AMA card and I personally got Ronnie's card off the frequency board and made sure that it was incorporated in both the Tom Bass Park's and Harris County Sheriff's reports to protect his family from insurance delays, etc. It has been reported that Billy told many that he has been flying for 9 months and working on his pilot certification and working toward his AMA. What pilot certification?!!!! How do you work TOWARD your AMA?!!!! For crying out loud, even the media has that story.
It is a RUSE gentlemen, subterfuge perfection! They may have fooled the press and the authorities at the scene and even a few of us temporarily. But that's only because they weren't AMA pilots and or they or most of you weren't actually at the scene nor actually knew Ronnie. Most of the Helicopter community is fairly decerning and all will come to light and soon.
Its a shame, but here it is. Ronnie was not a teacher nor was he teaching but simply helping out with adjustments, setup and tweaking as is typical at any R/C Helicopter flyin. I don't believe that Billy has or ever had an AMA membership. I believe that Billy fraudulently held himself out as a competent pilot to Ronnie, the Heli community and to the authorities at the scene. I believe that many of us will be literally OUTRAGED when we learn that even the sympathy we have deluged upon him was fraudulently acquired as well. Harris county to date has been unable to verify Billy's AMA membership! So, there, I said it! I am angry because my friend died likely because he was so friendly and trusting that he was duped into believing that Billy was actually a pilot. IMHO the stories have all been a crock, a hoax designed to protect those most at fault for even being at the park flying a motorized r/c helicpoter in the first place! The promoted storyline was designed to avoid prosecution and arrest and is an extension of the already ongoing deception of all who inquire. That is why you have not received an answer. The truthful answer will unravel the coy plan and shine a bright light where darkness was intentionally painted in to cover a most grievous error and actionable tort.
Never look down on lawsuits before you forget that this country was forged and formed by landmark lawsuits. Anyone can sue anyone for anything even bystanders. The bystanders will have their day in court and the cause of action may or may not be summarily dismissed. Even the term, bystander may be more ambiguous than it might appear and may be a question better left to the courts in pretrial or even a jury. But, no one and I mean no one blocks the timely filing of a cause of action in any court of competent jurisdition, period. Womens, rights, minorities rights, majorities rights, child labor, education and public servant's rights, etc. all forged because of legal challenges aka law suits. They are necessary gentleman and are here to stay. Like it or not, in one way or another we are all the beneficiary of them even thought we must observe their abuse frequently. We must all respect the rule of law because it is all that maintains the balance of powers. I demand justice for my friend Ronnie and his family both from those who caused his death and those who callously stood by during his time of need.
