A Texas park ranger cautioned a group about coronavirus social distancing - only to get pushed into a lake.
A recording of the incident shows the Commons Ford Metropolitan Park ranger asking a group gathered on the docks of Lake Austin to “disperse” because people were not standing six feet apart. The group was unlawfully drinking and smoking in the public park, as well.
Just after someone tells the ranger “I got you,” a man runs up and pushes the ranger into the water. The man fell in as well, but he managed to climb out first and flee.
Brandon Hicks, 25, was identified by a number of witnesses as the man who pushed the ranger. Hicks was arrested and charged with attempted assault on a public servant – a state felony – and damaging the ranger’s emergency radio, according to court documents seen by FOX 7.

This regrettable incidence is just the tip of the iceberg of the coming firestorm brewing in the back yards and basements of America's Patriots... the anger and pent up emotional energy may well ignite a civil war in the coming days if the government doesn't return to normal order... One can not expect a people whose liberty is being destroyed to simply stand around and do nothing... not in America... where liberty is prized above all other social values.
The government is underestimating the potential for serious violence and massive civil unrest if it continues to destroy our economic security as individuals and a nation... one can fool some of the people, some of the time, but never all of the people, all of the time.
I do not blame the Texas Park ranger for doing his job, but people should have respected the necessity of maintaining their distance from each other. The Wuhan Coronavirus may have slowed but it has not gone away yet.. Maintain distance, enjoy the outdoors and those who actually serve the public interest; The individual who pushed the Park ranger into the lake violated the law and above all else we, as Americans must maintain law and order evenif our elected officials are corrupt and dysfunctional.
