Followers of The Chronicle’s Facebook page react to a story detailing the arrest of a man who fished despite a lifetime ban:

Tammi Jo Norton: Come on, people. What he was fishing? At least he wasn’t out hurting people, or using drugs. He was just fishing. Yes he was doing what he was not supposed to but don’t slam him in the hammer.

Lori Marshall Nelsen: Harmless pastime? Not hardly! These people are taking hundreds of fish each season. They don’t care about limits. They are killing the aquaculture ecosystem.

Lynne Moran: It’s not difficult to follow the rules. To be permanently suspended is pretty harsh; however, one has several chances before being suspended. He obviously has no regard for the resources, or the law.

Curtis Bush: LOL. Loser. County’s finest imposing their distorted laws upon folks who ignore the laws in the first place!

Paula Ross Luttrell: Fishing, like hunting, is a privilege. Follow the rules and laws. it isn’t that hard to do. Or risk losing that said privilege. He must of been breaking the laws for a while before it reached this level.

Meanwhile, all the candidates of the R party are planning to dismantle this care system, and replace it with ... nothing. Oh, they talk a game of cross-state insurance, caps on medical lawsuits, etc. etc., but they’ve done nothing, proposed essentially nothing that would provide a family with medical coverage, and just spout nonsense. In the end, it really comes down to “if you can’t afford medical care, then just do without,” and we all know the end game with that.
