Incidents like these will continue to occur because the GPF is has no capasity to handle law and order outside of Georgetown. All thIS government wants is to collect fees from gold miners . And all the police do is investigate and retrive dead bodies from the WILD WEST gold mining districts.

It aches when you have hard working people trying to make an honest living and others don't want to work but want to live out the lives of others.

Stop robbing and killing people and work hard to achieve your own. Just as how they can work hard to get what they want, you too (criminals) can do the same.
