Speedo, 'ol buddy,

Not everybody has your resources. All of these righteous shoots/challenges and protests that you espouse are costly. Just as it's sometimes best to let sleeping dogs lie; it is sometimes best to give the dog his bone. Capiche?

...you ain't got a clue...I am probably the person on here with the LEAST financial resources...don't even know a lawyer who'd represent me...it's resolve...to do what's necessary to stop evil when it's in my face and work out the rest later...I'd have a public defender appointed and trust God first and the system later for justice...I've howled like a dog all my life against wrong put upon me and mine, and won most of the complaints...because I don't complain unless it's justified...I'm not wired to worry about legal costs and whatifs if something needs doing...and I'm not wired to often comment on how somebody might be right and within the law but they're gonna get in trouble...that's not my way...to each his own...and I love dogs...but the ones you refer to ain't sleepin', they're growlin' and snappin' at law-abidin' citizens...and I'd give a dog HIS bone...while not lettin' him TAKE MINE...

...so you might not join my posse...unless the problem involved your family...that's fine...somebody's gotta stay home in case they circle 'round and come back...we all have our places...

No doubt if I wrote the letter last night it would have been in anger.. And although I am angry, I want to appear objective rather than as some angry redneck. I'm ignorant on who I should send it to... Anyone want to chime in?

Best to let sleeping dogs lie IMO. I wouldn't try pushing their buttons. They can still charge you up to a year after the event I believe, so just move on and learn from the event.

@ Oldgringo - where in SI? I grew up in Golconda, Pope County. And you are very correct -SI is not like the rest of the state!
