Eagle Scout Lost on Mountain Fined $25,000 for Rescue

"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety"

Benjamin Franklin

All good?
 
For children that become seperated from parents and "innocents" Send in the forest rangers or National Guard or whatever.

Regular people hiking are on their own. You know the risks (or not) and you throw the dice.

Same as a beach without a lifeguard. "At your own risk"

If communities want to put together a volunteer SAR, so be it, but the more Government intrusion you get, the more taxes and restrictions EVERYONE is going to suffer.

Some people have to die to warn the others not to be stupid.

Your title is that you don't believe in gov't SAR, but what do you call the NATIONAL guard? Or how about the NATIONAL park service? Those are national SAR units. Most SAR units are volunteers, paid only by their own donations or fundraising.
 
My cousin teaches at a school there, I wonder if she knows him?
Something tells me he probably won't end up paying the bill.
