The bus stopped along a road when a large herd of bison passed nearby, and seniors filed out to take photos. Almost immediately, an armed ranger came by and ordered them to get back in, saying they couldnt recreate. The tour guide, who had paid a $300 fee the day before to bring the group into the park, argued that the seniors werent recreating, just taking photos.She responded and said, Sir, you are recreating, and her tone became very aggressive, Vaillancourt said.
The seniors quickly filed back onboard and the bus went to the Old Faithful Inn, the parks premier lodge located adjacent to the parks most famous site, Old Faithful geyser. That was as close as they could get to the famous site barricades were erected around Old Faithful, and the seniors were locked inside the hotel, where armed rangers stayed at the door.
They looked like Hulk Hogans, armed. They told us you cant go outside, she said. Some of the Asians who were on the tour said, Oh my God, are we under arrest? They felt like they were criminals.
A lot of people who were foreign said they wouldnt come back (to America), she said.

Hope someone took a photo of the bully ranger and posts it on Youtube....
Lots of inadequate and insecure losers will love to go along with Obama’s unconstitutional behavior.
In the end, he’ll be running the largest criminal enterprise in world history - and loving it.
Po little African dictators got nuthin’ on him.
Obama seems to want to pi$$ everybody off except illegals and low information voters.
0bama closes state highway 34 between Grand Lake and Estes Park, CO. One of only two ways into the mountain town after the thousand-year flood destroyed the three main routes.Trail Ridge road between Grand Lake and Estes Park CO is closed due to the shutdown. It is one of only two roads into Estes Park after the floods. This is a declared disaster area with major infrastructure damage. TR road will close for the winter due to weather before long but every day and every access route counts as this mountain town of 10,000 tries to get a handle on the flood aftermath before serious winter weather sets in.
TR road is a state highway so where do the Feds get off closing it? Unfortunately Mayor Pinkham doesn't have the balls to stand up for Estes Park. He was on Fox News putting the blame on Congress instead of doing his job. But the fact remains, it is 0bama that is applying pain to people in a national disaster area for political gamesmanship.
I post this not to complain or find relief but simply to inform all of yet another incident of 0malignant's narcissistic cruelty.

They could have said they were illegal immigrants.
Nah. The devotion to national treasures would have thrown the cops off.
Bet not one single person on the Mall, today, gave as much as a care for the WWII Memorial.
Sorry, I didn’t see the original thread. But I thought this was totally nuts. I was in Europe this summer, and it was obvious that the US customs officials and TSA were a whole lot worse that their Euro counterparts. Some people from Europe asked me about which places to visit and for the first time, I told them not to bother to come to the US because we have one of the world’s worst governments.
Why don’t those rangers have the guts to say “FUBO” to our dick-tater?
I’m not one to adopt an overly libertarian position, but I agree that these “rangers” and park police are behaving in a manner reminiscent of the guards at Auschwitz or at the Berlin Wall, blindly following illegal and immoral orders.
It’s not good to see American law enforcement personnel enforcing lawless government dictums.
Some of the Asians who were on the tour said, Oh my God, are we under arrest? They felt like they were criminals.

I am so frickin’ embarrassed. You don’t treat company that way. Humiliating.
Local businesses need to put up signs, “Members of the National Park Service no longer welcome at this establishment”.
Do that all over the country.
Estes Park? Obammy would dis them? A big liberal bastion where if it is yellow, it is mellow and if it is brown, flush it down.
Irenic! I retired from the NPS in 1986. Now I’m ashamed to admit I worked there. :-{
FWIW right now 2,000 of us aren't flushing anything thanks to two miles of sewer line washing away.
Thanks for chiming in with your brilliance though!
Just practicing for the day they are activated to become FEMA camp guards or thugs.
Because for many years now recruiting practices and policy’s
on retainment of federal badgemonkeys geared toward one
fundamental goal....finding and keeping human refuse who
not only will act this way but actually enjoy it. The goal is to
create a modern gestapo/SS. News reports indicate that the
goal has been met.
The only way we rid ourselves of this scourge is to kill them....
both the evil agenda creators in Mordor on the Potomac and
their modern army of Uruk-Hai.
