Lucky they got out of there. I was reading an article a few days ago that said a lot of park service personnel have been wounded and even killed lately by people involved in the drug trade who set up shop on government land. The article said that the park service has the highest mortality rate of any police service in the country due to this trend.
Why has it not been talked about in the mainstream? It has not been talked about in the mainstream because the park service has no requirement to disclose deaths and woundings of its personnel and feels no inclination to divulge such information on its own. It is a sad commentary on our society and really points out the wisdom of being well armed the next time you take the kids camping.
