Gettysburg police searching for those who set hiker on fire

[Wolf - 23000]

went into town to resupply, got a room at a motel, then went out for dinner and drinks. very common of hikers. no y'all wanna blame the hiker?

Lone Wolf,

I don't believe anyone is blaming the hiker for any of this. If he wants to walk around at 1:00 a.m., well that is his right to do so. I'm sure you know as well as myself, the papers/news reports never get the whole story right. I hope they catch the dirt bags that did this. I would like to know more of the details that go along with what happen.

Just out of Hot Springs I went to the next shelter (10 more m in the dark) to elude a couple of drunk locals that followed me up the trail. I would rather keep company with rattlers, bears and mountain lions rather than some people, they're to unpredictable!!

Unlike rattlers, bears and mountain lions people hurt others for the sport!

The line between blaming the victim and suggesting how to avoid trouble is fuzzy. Any of us could be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

And another True Dat going out, agree 100% Bill, hind site is always 20/20, and just plain unnecessary.

i disagree im one of those sit in the corner and not say much kind of people i dont say much but i hear and see everything.people are not unpredictable the signs are there to see just like bear dung.You need to pay attention to that gut instinct and not keep explaining it away so you dont have to act, or stop doing what is enjoyable at the time.humans think they are so far advanced, but we are all just animals with no long term survival instincts.we take without asking then we loose intrist and discard it without a care.we justify our own greed,cultivate our lust,and defile everything we see for our own sick entertainment.humans in short are a planet destroying bacteria that wont quit consuming until everything is gone doesnt matter if wer are already full we keep devowering things just so others can not have what we have.people have said the world has gotten so evil,it hasnt the increased population has made evil more concentrated so a little makes more of an impact.do i think humans have a chance? no we are already screwed we are just to dumb to see we have already killed ourselves years ago.hell we are all dieing from our own laziness.we look at learning as a punishment,nature as a resource ,and our fellow man as a stepping stone.everything in nature seeks a balance and we are way out of balance. the way nature will make thing seek a new balance is in the radication of what offends her.That my friends is the removal of the population.get ready and hang on theres a new mother nature takin over shes getting us all.

And yet it is obvious that Caboose did follow his instincts and kept on hiking. No disrespect intended, but there would be more validity to your argument that "we look at learning as a punishment" if there were not so many spelling and punctuation errors.

this past weekend was Gettysburg's 149th reunion for the reinactors, ....

Actually, the reunion was the week before. The original battles were on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of July. My husband has been there this past week, and it was "light" as far as re-enactors go...

My neighbor and friend was also there, The Pennsylvania 104th, said the same thing......next year is the big one.

[Deacon]

Yea I was there too this year. I understand there will be 15-20k reenactors next year. That's as many as the original battle!
