They were messed up on booze and pills and were just looking for trouble. One of them dropped a bottle of pills all over the floor.
yeah, no one likes the coast guard in ketchikan because they have a tendency to take advantage of young high school girls and get them pregnant...like seriously...it's a bad problem...they could have been Haidas...or tsimshians...those are the other tribes besides tlingit...I can put it in quick terms..."white people" (no offense...please) come to the islands of Alaska around the time of 1800's-1900's, they show us sugar and beer, we have never seen stuff like this at all, now we have obese and alcohol addicted native peoples, it's really quite sad, my language is dead the totem pole and dancing culture is almost dead. sigh and seriously 98% of my family is either addicted to alcohol or pills I never met my grandfather because he died of alcohol poisoning, my uncle died while he was drinking he fell of the docks and drowned...that's why I am changing it, I don't drink and I'm the first in my family to make it to university. my aunty just two days ago because she was drinking and crossed the streets...I don't think this problem will ever stop because the lack of understanding and a lot of people think it's funny and they don't care....
