But, here is the problem....there would be no move to protect this site, or the GPO, without the public outrage that this event created. I would think if the young man had presented a different attitude when first contacted, the matter would have ended right there. I don't think NWGD got his feelings hurt and therefore ranted. He realized that this kid wasn't likely to learn anything without pressure being exerted. Will he learn anything from this? Maybe not. If his parents came to his aid instead of publicly apologizing for his total disregard for anything living (as evidenced by his relishing the torture of animals on his FB page) it speaks that they don't have compassion for life either. I know MY parents would not have tolerated that behavior from me, at ALL.
All in all, if protection of either this site or this species comes from this event, it is all worth it. I seriously doubt all the attention this kid got did anything but puff his pathertic ego up even more.
This had nothing to do with the kid learning his lesson or being apologetic. Rather he was used as a pawn in a political process. He was the perfect character to make into a villain and then to be sacrificed as ameans to attempt to change a law.
Remember, he simply exercised his rights to engage in the pursuit of happiness. He was following all laws.
If this was “nothing personal” and could have been avoided if the kid had apologized to “BOB the Instructor” on the day of the incident, then will you people call the whole thing off if the kid says he is sorry now? Huh will you?
This is all about one kid who just must be taught a lesson?
