From where I live all the anti-cop animus, especially from conservatives who usually support the type of service that can put you in a [wheelchair] for life, really seems strange.

Our critical reaction is unrelated to anti-police sentiments. Our concern is based on the whole situation surrounding the death of one of our fellow Americans. That he died while pursuing his happiness in the wilderness, as was his right, is the first irony. The second irony is that he died while on Federal land. Say that to yourselves a couple of times. What does the phrase 'Federal land' mean? It means the people's forest. Not the king's forest. Not the Senate's forest, or the corporation's forest, but the people's forest. The entire notion of federal land is flawed in America, however. Homesteading died in 1968, blocking off entire areas of the country that were arable and habitable from settlement. For whom have these lands truly been reserved? That's a good question, because the environmentalists are closing off more and more of these areas from anyone entering at all. Are our interests being served here? I do not believe so, although I am in favor of maintaining most of the wild lands we have. If they can't be enjoyed by Americans because of endangered species and other specious reasons, who benefits from protecting them? Not we the people. Of course Agenda 21, the United Nations plan for 'sustainable' development is served by these regulations, and therefore our sovereignty suffers.

To make a long story short, the ranger who shot one of our fellow Americans to death because he refused to pay his fee was officially defending our lawfully managed wild lands. However, in this killing, we see the injustice of the natural preserves — preserved for no one in particular, and specifically a globalist agenda, peeking out. The Sherrif of Nottingham claims to represent us, but in doing so, we are revolted by the outcome of his actions. It's a direct result of the collectivization of our natural habitats. They could be preserved without resorting to nationalization, but in the name of preserving America, we have socialized our natural environment. It's all part of the plan. That people are shot for violating the rules, well Robin Hood's liberty couldn't last indefinitely, now could it?
