Ranger shot at Mt. Rainier NP

[colockumelk]

FIRST OFF I WISH THE FAMILY AND FREINDS MY DEEPEST REGRETS

WHY DONT THE MILITARY FLY OR WHOEVER FLY OVER AND LOOK WITH INFER RED OR HEAT DETECTION. I THINK THEY USE THAT FOR POACHERS IN THE PARK?

This may or may not work. The major thing to consider is weather. Someone said a weather front is moving in   Flying anytime at night in the mountains is dangerous add to that high winds which typically precede a weather front and it can get scary.  Is there fog rain. If weather moves in then nothing can or will fly.

Second my helicopter has the best thermal imagery device in any helicopter I know of. If tje weather is not a factor than conditions are excellant to spot a person. Seeing detail of terrain will suck necause everything is cold and near the same temperature. Thermal imaging devices sense temperature differences and make a picture from that. If everything is near the same temp then you won't have much detail or contrast between objects such as rocks trees stumps etc. But a living object that is warm will stand out against that cold background really well. 

Now some things that can and will diminish the image is if he is wearing very thick clothes it can mask his return. Especially since the outside of the coat is the same temp as the surroundings. If he hugs a tree and there is branches between my line of sight and him he will disapear. If he is hugging a tree I will only see a tree and branches. 

The good news is he couldn't have gone far, they have a good start point and from the air it is very obvious the likely avenues of travel he would take. Also guys may hide under a tree but curiosity killed the cat. They always want to sneak a peak at you. They always peak their body around to look at what is hunting them especially if they think you are not looking at them.

must have missed the 30' chain part and dragging him.

 I saw it, only problem is we would end up awarding his family a $30 million settlement for using excesive force.

Especially if he's not white as white bread.

Unbelievable....I can not even begin to imagine what that family is going through and will have to go through for years to come.  I would let him freeze for a while up there and then release some k9's on him and see how long he lasts.  A person like that who has no regards for other people deserves to die alone on the side of a mountain, frozen and then ripped apart by scavenging wildlife.

I didn't go through all 8 pages this might already be here.   There is a Facebook page set up in her Honor.

When I was at Ft. Lewis we had a Ranger wanted for 2 rapes head off into the Park like this with two duffle bags of C Rats.   He didn't last so long.  I don't think this guy will.  Likely hung over, not packed for it, no food stashed.  I think nature will bring him in.   Hopefully nature kills him.

Prayers for the Husband and two little girls left behind. And any Hikers unaware.

I am lost for words. The only thing that comes to mind is that I hope they have to take him out the the same way he did her. Prayers for her family.

 

Spot on, all things end in judgement and some times that judgement comes in the form of. Right here right now and justice is served. At a great less expense and to the benefit of the people as a whole.

Dear God, Why?.........

[GrainfedMuley]

   It wouldn't break my heart if someone got a crack shot at him or two and he was gut shot or hit in the junk and he had to survive a couple days like that before he was later killed.

If you get shot in the junk,  you will bleed out in about 4 minutes. The largest artery in a mans body.

The update said they believe they have his track and are bringing in a heat senser plane soon. I sure hope they kill him on site because I do not want the state to have to pay his jail costs. does anyone on hear know him. It says he has military experience.

You can hide from FLEER with a mylar space blanket.

WTF?    Can't anybody keep the facts straight? In the very same article. It is first stated that Mr. Barnes opened fire on her with a shotgun. Three or four paragraphs down it is stated that she was shot with a high power assult rifle. And to label a semi automatic rifle as an assault rifles gets to me also. By military definition, a semi auto rifle is not an assault rifle. To be an assult rifle by definition, the rifle has to have the capability of selective fire. Thanx to Clinton and his mass phycology campaign for ten years of calling my AR-15 an assault rifle.

What a *censored*, hope he dies soon.
