Just because someone made a mistake does not justify negligence on the part of a public servant/emergency responder. Let's say you're at a pool and choose to ignore the sign that says no diving in the shallow end of the pool. You dive in and knock yourself out. Is the lifeguard justified in just sitting there and letting you drown because you disobeyed the sign??? The Park Rangers has a duty to act and their actions deviated from an accepted standard for emergency responders. You bet your ass they should lose their jobs. They're an disgrace to public saftey workers everywhere. What happens when you set your house on fire and the fire department just sits outside and watches it burn because you left the oven on. Or when the paramedics refuse to take you to the hospital becuase you shouldn't have been running with scissors. Where does your line of thinking draw the line? There is no way you can justify their lack of action on this, and your attemts to do so just show your ignorance in this type of situation.
