So insane, I can't even read the whole story. Who comes up with this stuff?

Took me a while to stop laughing. If this ever happened the Animas river would be plaintiff #1.

Gunsite Butte is violating open carry laws, NPS is still trying to figure out how to detain and arrest...

The issue has been raised before. See Justice Douglas' dissent in Sierra Club v. Morton. The case is known more for the dissent than the majority opinion. A college con law and law school classic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierra_Club_v._Morton

Since Mr Flores-Williams thinks the Colorado River is a person, the River needs to find its own ambulance chasing scumbag to counter sue the scumbag ambulance chaser Flores-Williams.

Do we sue the river for killing people?
