Accountability has finally caught up with a Grays Harbor County man responsible for the wanton, wasteful slaughter of local wildlife—a crime that robs Washington’s ecosystems, steals from ethical hunters, and damages the state’s outdoor economy.
I do hope that this criminal serves every day of his sentence and that he is NEVER allowed to own or possess another firearm. As an old American Constitutionalist, I am VERY reluctant to prohibit any American from firearm ownership, however anyone who shows such an utter lack of care for life can NOT be trusted with a gun. What or who will he kill next??? Many years ago, I knew someone who approached me to help him move an elk that he wanted to kill, without the proper license & hunting tags, in my 4X4 truck. I told this Individual that not only would I refuse to assist him in his crime, but I would make sure that he paid a very serious price if I discovered that he followed through with his plot! I told him to NEVER ask me to help him in any of his crimes. If he had been starving and only trying to feed his family I would have understood his criminal intent, but I would have instead offered to help him find the food that he needed legally... He had no such excuse and at that time he made as much money, if not more money, than I did... He was a heavy drinker, serious drug abuser, gambling addict, and known petty thief who stole from his long-time employer. His own brother was every bit as bad, and years before he asked me to help him in his poaching of an elk, I appeared in court to have his brother released into my custody for his crime of poaching salmon without a license~! I could not help these two damn fools and thank God that they are too cowardly, stupid, and lazy to become violent criminals~! These people are slithering around in our otherwise beautiful community~!
When are they going to start busting the indians that commit the same crimes?
I thought that maybe he was trying to feed his family, but: Why just leave the animals there? Too bad.
Absolutely disgusting~!

Very happy that this person will be serving time for this. I hope the elk have a wonderful afterlife, forever free from fear.
