[QUOTE="Brittman, post: 289288, member: 7183"] My dad was friends with Marshall Ken Muir. I knew Ken and he was a good guy. He had a wildlife framing business that was going to be his retirement income and hobby. He had some very interesting tours as a US Marshall ... if memory serves he had stints protecting Kennedy and the Stones. When [U]most[/U] of us make a "mistake" or miscalculation at work it typically is not fatal. Those guys were ill prepared for what they faced that day. Their mistakes proved fatal. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] I will add that Medina was a core hunting area for my brother and I. This was before all the NRs flooded that area chasing ducks. It was remote and quiet even during peak migration. It was pretty eerie traversing the area where the shoot out occurred. Kidder county was general "poor" back then. Many farmers struggled to make a living and the forming drought did not help the situation. There was certainly a growing "militia" in ND at the time - isolationists, paranoid, relatively poor and taxes were a killer ... One positive thing that happened after the shoot out and killing was these militias shrunk in size and strength as they had to go pretty deep underground. [/QUOTE]
