Judge Winmill sentenced Waite to 18 months in prison that began August 30, 2000. He was also given a $4,000 fine and three years probation.

As long as we have a corrupt government and a complicit judiciary, we will see more citizens railroaded into prison. Another honest citizen is now a felon, forbidden to own firearms. Who will be next to be indicted on trumped-up charges?

And I thought the citizens, who pay taxes for the upkeep of national parks, etc., were the owners.

Boy, is my face red!

[Roscoe]

Was it a jury trial?

When Waite couldn't tell him who had been doing unauthorized cat work in the federal forest, Green and his posse of armed men seized all 48 cords of firewood at gunpoint.

"Careful, men. He might have a splinter on him!"

The Leviathan continues it's rampage. Film at eleven.

A serf should know better than gathering firewood on his Lord's estate. Well maybe we'll get lucky and one of the knights will get the pox or skewered at the tourney...wait, wrong millenium...or is it? Huzzah!!

"Waite defended himself"

Stupid is as Stupid does. I'm sorry, but everyone reading this please understand, if you go to court representing yourself in anything bigger than small claims, please understand you are going to get SCREWED!.

As wrong as it is, the court (judges) do not like to see people representing themselves....yea, in a perfect world we could do it but this place ain't perfect and you have to play by their rules sometimes....lest you bend over and grab your ankles in submission.

Why is it called ?

[antidemocommie]

Trees are far more important than the lives of Americans, as you can see.

The government basically does not want humans in its forrests. PERIOD.

...exploring his civil remedies..."

And this Green guy is still employed? Where is the outrage in Idaho?

[moyden]

Hillary's Village in action.

[Squantos]

I used to cut cord wood for income when I was a teen ager. Real hard work then . I suspect it still is at 56 years of age for this guy.

BTTT..........Stay Safe !

[scouse]

The Forest Service wouldn't get away with stuff like that in this country. This is America and we have a Constitution which protects us from NAZIs like that and.......Oops sorry.

-this is just another example of the hundreds or maybe thousands of "little guys" who keep getting the shaft fron uncah sugah and his armed mercenaries and word twisters. We hear about the big cases like jarbridge and klamath, but when it's a single guy it mostly falls through the cracks. I'm glad this one got some news coverage. Similar just happened to charlie puckett, but he decided that the probable outcome of his 100% guaranteed shafting, 20 or more years in jail, when he is in his 50's, was more or less a state mandated death sentence, so I guess he boogied on down the road according to his last statement linked to the freerepublic site here..

And when there is no redress left, when petitions and hiring word twisters doesn't matter, when the outcome is so obviously predetermined even before one of their kangaroo court showtrials- then what is left, exactly? Just '"take it"? Keep hiring word twisters when the main arguments that they won't acknowledge in the slightest always boil down to the government doesn't follow constitutional law anymore, and they don't care if you know it or not? I mean, really, who honestly believes that "they" aren't aware of all their illegal actions? Might be one two year old kid left who can't see that.

The feral government -this junta of professional liars and conmen and strong arm thugs- is completely and totally outta control. My advice to any federal employees who are still decent people and consider themselves to be decent and patriots is to QUIT, and remove yourself from association with the next of vipers. Ya'all got cooties now, tainted. It's gotten to the point that it is pretty obvious that the system not only is unfixable, but they are heck bent on being worse, much much worse,-on purpose and with malice afore-thought. They are NOT going to change one bit at the highest decison making levels about squat except to keep instituting this global corporate fascism combined with bureuacratic socialism to reward their minions and keep the bulk of the population in check and in terror. A lot of people won't admit it, they'll even deny it, but when extreme normal common sense is completely absent from government, and when you are ORDERED to believe their fantasies, when you are ordered that you must obey or else, then that is official sanctioned insanity. It's not a government and a people anymore, don't know what to call it, but it's not a legitimate government.

Sad but true. A guy I work with and two of his buddies were fined $200 EACH last weekend near Truckee, Kalifornia. They had cut some wood, from a dead pile that the USFS had pushed up with a dozer, for a warming fire. The total amount of wood was less than a small pick-up load. The "ranger" threatened them with felony charges and also asked very bluntly why they were "in the forest during the middle of winter?".

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

THE RESULT OF OUT OF CONTROL ENVIROSCHIZOPHRENIA!

[Travis McGee]

Maybe if the fedgov transferred a few thousand of these excess employees to the INS they would not be giving visas to Mohammed Atta and allowing ten million illegals to squat in our country.

[editor-surveyor]

Nuff of this crap!

Is it really true that "the Communists won the Civil War?"

[Hoosier Patriot]

One can see why federal officials such as Green are promoted in public service rather than prosecuted for their actions. In order to protect the Big Lie the federal government must hire and protect faithful little liars. Where such behavior is not usually tolerated in the private sector, it has become a necessary and vital part of public service.

The piece d' resistance of this story, IMHO.
