Most of the Residents Did not know about the governments desicion Until the Towns mayor made an announcement during the Halloween Celebrations. Most of the Townspeople were enraged by this and formed a riot, it is said that they cursed fort Leonard Wood after they were forced to be evicted, saying that they would bring humiliation to the Fort. The area where bloodland once stood is now a Small Arms firing range, respectfully called "Bloodland Firing range". The only structures from the origional bloodland that still stand, are a small schoolhouse and the graveyard. Both just outside the fort.
