Hippies Evict Boy Scouts and Attack Forrest Service

National Forest Service, intimidated by annual gathering of hippies, anarchists and "free spirits" who commune with nature and each other., cancel Boy Scouts event in Wyoming to make room for 400 members of Rainbow Family.
Once there, the "peace-loving hippies surround, and attack federal Forest Service.
Mark Rey, the federal undersecretary supervising the U.S. Forest Service, met with Rainbow Family members earlier in Pinedale, and urged them to move their gathering, the Casper Star-Tribune reported. They refused.
"It's a matter of intimidation," Sublette, Wyo., County commissioner Joel Bousman told WND. "It appears the Rainbow group has managed to intimidate an entire federal agency."
Rey told WND he thought the decision to move the Scouts to somewhere else and leave the Rainbow Family alone was the best under the circumstances. He said the government allows the Rainbow Family to bypass its regular permit requirements in favor of an "operating plan" but the bottom line was that the government didn't want to be arresting hundreds or thousands of people.
"[the Boy Scouts] did everything legally, they had their permits. But because of the fact Undersecretary Rey, for whatever reason, took it on himself to do what he has referred to as an experimental process by which he does not require the Rainbow Group to have any permit, the conflict developed," Bousman said.
Next time they should just show up in force with rubber bullets and tear gas. Idiots should have let the Boy Scouts plan proceed.

Somehow, I can't imagine 400 Boy Scouts surrounding 10 law enforcement officers and pelting them with sicks and stones
