If I was a ranger, and my job was 'that close' to being axed anyway, "what
if" is important. Rules are made for 'what if'! Law suits are filed for
"WTF"! Folks this is not a joke. I am not stirring the pot. Again, maybe in
burb's nothing nasty happens. But in the real world teen violence is real.
Hell, violence is real period. And I no for a fact you'd hang a state
employee the moment "they let" your precious get hurt (sic).

I am really surprised by the reaction here. One would think you'd all know
this. Try to put yourself in his place 'at that time' and not Monday morning
quarterback in sympathy. Mark knows I am not a "burn them all person". I but
it's a gross misjustice to blame a guy doing his job. unless he
misinterpreted the rules, he was just being safe. And in this environment...
safe works.

Shoot the lawyers (not literally), not the rangers.
