If you haven’t yet girded yourself for the post Iraq\/Afghanistan round of “crazy vet” movies and other slanderously anti-military entertainment narratives coming out of the liberal enclave of Hollywood you better start now. The latest unfunny anecdote which will no doubt trump the mountain of evidence about vets is a story out of my backyard in Seattle. From Fox News:<\/a><\/p>\n

Authorities are conducting a manhunt at Mount Rainier National Park in Washington State after a park ranger died in a shooting Sunday following a routing traffic stop, authorities said.
\nSheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer said late Sunday afternoon Benjamin Colton Barnes, a 24-year-old believed to have survivalist skills, was a “strong person of interest” in the slaying of Margaret Anderson. A parks spokesman said Barnes was an Iraq war veteran. Authorities recovered his vehicle, which had weapons and body armor inside, Troyer said.<\/p>\n

Barnes was also a suspect in the early Sunday morning shooting of four people at a house party south of Seattle, police said.
\nAuthorities believed the gunman was still in the woods, with weapons. They asked people to stay away from the park, and for those already inside to leave.
\n“We do have a very hot and dangerous situation,” Troyer said.
\nTroyer said authorities were following tracks in the snow they believe are from the gunman, and crews planned to bring an airplane through the area with heat-seeking capabilities.
\n“We believe we have a good track on him, but he’s way ahead of us,” Troyer said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The local Fox affiliate (via the Chicago Tribune here) is circulating a short bio<\/a>, and this rather unflattering photo of Barnes:<\/p>\n

They also assert he was picked up for DUI in 2009 and has a restraining order by the mother of his child. They also speculate (without an evidence) that he’s a currently serving member of the Reserves or Guard. The family and friends of the victims have my sincere condolences. I’m not sure if they’re actually aware of any evidence of his “strong survival skills” aside from being a vet. At this point nobody even seems to know what it is he did in the military.<\/p>\n

I hope that those in positions which can make a difference make the best effort to keep things in perspective as they discuss our community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
