Hmmm . . . The C&R court system doesn't seem to be working very well. LE must be terribly frustrated.

"released from custody the next day", released from custody the next day", "released from custody the next day". Something sure isn't working and I agree that LE must be so very frustrated. Other than returning the boats (crab traps) to their rightful owners, where's the justice? There seems to be no consequence for crimes like this. Brian @Stonedfish - I hadn't seen the "Backhoes R Us" thing for quite sometime. ;-)

Well… when the local population keeps electing the same minded prosecutors and justices… there you have it. Some people need help, some just need to be in prison.

My son and I invested in one at the auction a few weeks ago. Just sayin' "they'll never find em'".

Or bring back the horse thievin’ consequences…

A rope n branch are mighty cheap, and keeps the recidivism at a low.

Read the article link and the A-hole’s name isn't even listed??? And released the next day 3X?
Is there a local rule that you can’t even shame the bastard in print?
When we lived on the coast of NC if this had happened to one of us after the first time he’d be found with broken hands, the second time with hands and feet in crab pots. Third? Nickname would be “Chumbucket”.
You’d also get a wink & grin from a F&W officer.

In Oregon, they have made rules so ya can’t do just that. No names in print… no photos of faces. (For the most part)

Here in Washington we don't want to infringe upon the rights of known criminals. We need to protect them. People make bad decision. Sometimes 68 times in a year. But to error is to be human. Can we not see this man needs our love and help rather than our derision. What good is printing his name and face going to do? He could be targeted for revenge at worst and be publicly shamed at best.

I used to hold views that held criminals accountable and menaces to civilised society. Then I attended a few educational seminars in Olympia along with a yoga retreat here and there and was cured of these problematic thought patterns. We only need caring empathetic people in this state. If that's not you then go away. Oh, and Texas has seen the light they don't want you either. So go away to a CHUD like situation under the city where you belong..

Namaste, peace and love for all.

You should try it. I'm an instructor now. Totally changed my life. If you act now I'll throw in a free "coexist" sticker for your Subaru.
