Gunman opened fire on tribal police officers out on Hopi. Apparently he has been captured now, but several roads were closed while they were looking for the suspect.

Re: Police Activity on Navajo Nation/Hopi Rez
They have him in custody and no one was hurt. That sounds like a good ending.

Re: Police Activity on Navajo Nation/Hopi Rez
The journalist called him a "Marine veteran" as if it is a bad thing. That is a shamelessly illogical non-sequiter: Man shoots at cop. Man is a Marine veteran. Therefore, we are to conclude, Marine veterans shoot at cops.
That sort of journalism disgusts me, and should anger anyone who cares about veterans, also.

He could not have possibly been a Marine, he missed. ;)
Maybe Army and just shooting for effect.

Re: Police Activity on Navajo Nation/Hopi Rez
I'm hoping it's nobody I know. This summer some good Hopi artists were lost.

Sorry to hear about the Hopi artists, Alston.

Re: Police Activity on Navajo Nation/Hopi Rez
As beautiful as the people and the country are, it is a hard life up there. When I look back at the folks I've known at Hopi, so many have not died of natural causes. With the recession hitting us hard, it's the old trickle down economy thing. If nobody is buying from us, we can't buy from them.
So just another level of angst is thrown on the pile. Then the already high chemical abuse rises more, with folks turning to drugs, booze, inhalants and even gasoline. My wife and I work hard to keep our families living the Hopi way, because we know how lucky we are to have such a culturally rich group of people living in among us.
There is so much to learn from these folks, because afterall, they are a microcosm of our world.
