FLASH: Gregg Clapper has been vindicated!

From Gregg Clapper,

Where do we go to get our reputations back?

It would be nice if all the news media that prominently featured the original story on the front page and the top of the newscasts would show a sense of fair play in reporting the revealing last chapter of the story:

Nearly 5 years ago, in a case that was widely reported in Oregon and elsewhere, the Oregon State Police very publically charged us (Mark Hemstreet and Gregg Clapper) with numerous hunting violations. Every single one of these charges was dismissed. We were exonerated. We sued the Oregon State Police for malicious prosecution. They just paid us $295,000 to settle the case.

Now, finally, Mark Hemstreet should receive thanks from all lovers of wildlife and the Oregon State Police for spending hundreds of thousands of dollars of his own money to keep several hundred head of elk alive in the 1970′s when Oregon suffered under 2 severe winters resulting in large population reductions due to starvation. Prosecuting him for poaching is akin to pressing charges against Mother Theresa for child abuse.

Congratulations.

$295,000 — they got off cheap!!

Any chance of criminal charges against those bastards? Perhaps violations of the 1800 era denying civil rights “under color of law” statue used in the Rodney King case? (The companion statue does NOT require violence.)

Thanks
