Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Idaho rancher killed by deputies over a wounded bull.

I hear OJ is going to look for the killer until he dies. I feel pretty good about that. I trust him.

This and the fact that I have seen no lynch mob being formed due to posts on this thread, but now I and some others will probably be condemned for just sitting around "bitching" or "whining" (pick your own negative description) instead of doing something.

After the recent actions of the ISP in another investigation I think many who are skeptical of their impartial involvement in this situation are not off base.

Actually, I didn't opine on your weight. Appreciate your information on the perdersoli, didn't appreciate you [bleep] on the pic thread with an insult on Jstuart, thought the pedersoli comments were appropo under the circumstances.

As for trolling, I'm just trying to get someone to tell me that anyone that believes in due process is a POS.

Seriously, the whole time been asking for equal treatment of all parties, fair and equal disclosure, a complete investigation, all available facts and not conjecture, and if need be, a vigorous prosecution.

Does that mean POS to you as well?

Actually when we knew the names and dirt on the Scum bag deputies all the others here whose nature it is to defend scumbags in uniform told us to quit speculating.

We just quit speculating...now comes the part of the thread where the cops and groupies deny and obscure their previous stance.

Personally I think that OJ watched the old Nevada Smith movie on late night cable and got inspired to get himself thrown in the joint so he can continue his search for Nicole's killer in the big house.

Meanwhile, the body of Jack Yantis 'lies mouldering in the grave'. He didn't go out to shoot any deputies, no trial needed to establish that Fact. Sheriff Zollman should have been out in front of this whole mess by now, he's playing catch-up and his career as a sheriff is all over except for the crying.

Due process? Like the deputies gave Mr. Yantis? Like they afforded Mrs. Yantis? Like Brian Wood afforded the 79 year old man 4 years ago? Like folks like you afforded Mr. Yantis' reputation?

Our speaking out on this subject and our anger at the abuse of power and force in NO way usurps due process.

You are a POS because you can't or won't see the difference. You're a POS because you want to stifle free speech under s false pretense.

Assuming the $36,000 per anum holds water!

36,000 divided by 52 weeks divided by 40 hours yields $17.30/hour.

If a bit of that is overtime to cover shifts when another deputy is sick or on vacation, or in court, or if the deputy is working nights and also has to make a court appearance that same day. That could well knock the pay scale back to or even below the stated $15.00/hr.

$15.00 per hour is entry level wage at the corp. I work, a 75 minute drve from Council. That is what we pay the guys to wash down the floors or sweep. They _get a darned nice benifits package as well including ten paid holidays per year, great health insurance, sick pay, and vacation.

But low pay is no excuse for being an azzhole on or off the job.

If the pay is not right, go where it is. Unless, of course, your record precludes you from being hired anywhere else!

And THAT it would seem, would take us right down to the solid, seamy and sordid nitty gritty of this lamentable fiasco.

You know , there are STILL a lot of "RIP Brian Terry" bumper sticker, and rear window decals to be seen around this part of the world.

It's looking back with complete satisfaction, fondness, and starry eyed gushiness that I remember the way the "Justice System" handled the F&F "Operation,....carried out by a particularly upright and ethical crowd.

THAT is what gives me such overwhelming faith in the "criminal justice system",....

I mean I'm so HAPPY with it,..... I could just schitt.

My bowels are moving as I type this.

Another thing that bears mentioning again is the treatment of Mrs. Yantis. I got no words...

More than I did before.

OJ was innocent.

A few years ago I had a conversation with my county commissioner (North Texas) and he allowed how being a deputy was a job of last resort if you couldn't find any other line of work. He was referring to the 1930's/1940's/1950's. I asked my Mother (Oklahoma) her opinion of this and she emphatically agreed.

There's good sheriff departments, bad sheriff departments, and sheriff departments that should be shut down yesterday....

Your Mom was absolutely correct. Most people can not be trusted with the power of the vote.

To be fair and balanced(laughing) the officers dad and lawyer speaks out...

One of the sheriff’s deputies involved in the shooting death of an Adams County rancher on Nov. 1 told his father that he believes his actions that night were justified — and that “God never intended for man to kill another man.”


The family is hurting on our side, the family is hurting on their side. There’s no good that comes out of this,” Steve Wood said. “The fallout from this is more severe than I thought, and the threat is higher than I thought.”

Wood said his son did not confide in him about specifics of what happened. Still, he believes public opinion will shift dramatically when all of the facts surrounding the incident come to light. “The first to bring an accusation is always thought right until the facts are known,” he said.


Wood wants his son to consider other career options rather than stay in law enforcement, but said Brian Wood intends to stay with the sheriff’s office.

“He totally intends to go back to work,” Wood said.


“I do not think it appropriate for either of the deputies involved to publicly comment on the incident until the investigation is completed,” Dinius told the Statesman. “Suffice it to say, we have reviewed the Yantis family members’ version of events and they are not accurate in numerous material respects.”

What are you laughing about?

The one big question seems to be, How many cops does it take to turn on a video camera?

Or maybe how many it takes to know if any one knows how to turn one on?

Of course we all know that nothing ever happens to incriminating police video so.....

Just give us a year or so and we will gladly tell you what we said happened, trust us..........

The only thing missing is the part about him being an aspiring rapper and how he was just getting his life together .......

That's a little harsh. He was probably just an addled old fella that let stress get the best of him.
