The slain man was described as an Anglo in his mid-50sAn "Anglo"?
Must be a NM thing. I think we call 'em "Caucasian" where I'm from.

Looks like the ranger just shot him out of a lack of ideas about what to do. Even if the guy was being a jerk, it appears the the man was not threatenign, just being an ass and refusing to pay or leave.

A state parks officer fatally shot a man ... during a confrontation over the man's refusal to pay camping fees. Oh now there is a reason to kill a man.

might have been a good idea to call for backup. In this state the nearest help might be 50 miles away.

Hmmm.. doesn't sound good if no weapon was found. Don't rush to judgement. We don't know what transpired. Did he try to grab the officers gun?
He must have felt pretty stupid falling to the ground over $14.

I wonder what would happen to a homeowner who killed an unarmed intruder?

Probably tried to take the officer's gun, they struggled, camper lost.Yeah, he tried to grab the officer's gun with his hands in his pockets. More likely it's just another story of a loser that shouldn't be behind a badge.

Oh now there is a reason to kill a man. Or, from the other side: Oh, now there is a reason to get yourself killed.
