Well, he got off easy-the judge could have forced him to deliver the apology in fluent Sioux/sarcasm

ROFLMAO! I had thoughts somewhat along the same lines. Maybe the fisherman can Sioux to get his fish back.

Was the judge’s name John Redcorn or Dale Gribble?

Uh, doesn’t anybody think maybe this judge has a sense of humor and did this to piss off the stupid Fish and Game people?

He probably could have given this guy a pretty stiff fine.

Just sayin’.

He should be given a medal for his efforts.
