Well I don't think thats exactly a hanging offense , maybe here on this forum.

Punishable by death.....There,I said it.







:shut:

Maybe under different circumstances they could be let off, but this is not their first offense. Sadly, they will probably learn absolutely nothing and the fine will be a slap on the wrist.

It might also help others to understand if they knew how some of these loggers are really fighting to stay in business or just earn a decent living. Then to have logs stolen and even cut up there on site was probably worse than a slap in the face.

I wonder how far a prosecutor could take theft of firewood. Depending on the situation (Lets say elderly and disabled), in MI or any other northern state, not having a source of heat could literally end in death.

Matt, I doubt it would ever go that far simply because there are so many other ways to create heat. But it certainly is a serious crime in my book.

 

[mayhem]

Punishment should fit the crime. These guys ought ot do work detail to replace the logs they cut up and stole with sufficinet quality logs.

Then they ought to spend a half hour alone with a couple of the lumberjacks they screwed over and be shown the error of their ways.

Who said the rope was fer hangin' ?!?!?! Tie it behind a quad and drag them through the timber. That seems fair enough. They'll never want to see another tree as long as they live.
