Dispute over $14 fee. Ranger shoots camper, stating that he was turning and making a motion that looked like he was reaching for a weapon. Witnesses say he was running away when he was shot. http://www.lcsun-news.com/breakingnews/ci_5497309
Its a shame that if the ranger would have missed and the camper was armed and shot back he would go to jail for murder.....now this only saying if the ranger had no reason to shoot at him....
Luke, Luke, Luke, Silly boy. You must be having a bit of a joke with us. As we all know, it's illegal to have guns in parks so the camper couldn't have had one... There are laws against that!
Yeah, aren't they issued 10mm Glocks? Guess they are not up to speed on less than lethal techniques when it comes to someone that is resisting arrest.
This was a New Mexico State park ranger, not national park by the way... Though I am confused... Why did the ranger think he was going for a gun? It is illegal to have a gun in a NM state park (just like GA). Why does a park ranger need a gun anyway? It is illegal for citizens to have them there and national parks said guns are not good for defending against animals. So why does a park ranger need a gun?
I was. If there is enough reason for a park ranger to carry, then there is enough for citizens as well.
