I always believed that those aid helicopters should have machine guns mounted on them - just in case like the present one.

That's truly absurd. Machine-gunning a tribesman armed with a bow? For shooting an arrow at a flying helicopter. Yeah.

Tell that guy that he's either part of the solution or part of the precipitate.

About 800-something years ago ason Kyomori Taira noted that it is gratitude that distinguishes the man from the beast. (See "Taira monogatari" book for the quote). These tribesmen do not pass the test.
