When the rights of one of you is attacked, no persecuted, it is an attack on all of you. When the individual is doing nothing wrong, conducting himself legally, and is arrested and forced to defend himself it becomes a trial by attrition - money, time, worry in having to seek council and sweat through the process. It is a greater burden than anyone of us can bear alone.
You have an opportunity to show what the brotherhood (sisters too) in Maine can be as a collective force. I encourage you, implore you, to step up and give what you can. Shoot one less box of ammo, carry your lunch for a few days, give what you can, check your sugar bowl for a few extra dollars. This cause is righteous.
Shane and I have discussed this situation at some length and agreed that I would post this thread, because I am not emotionally or physically attached to any of the principals, believing that I can view things from a distance w/o confusing the issue.
I will first give you the link to donate via PayPal and an address to mail check/money orders. Note that the donations (not tax deductible) go direct to Shane Belanger who will control the distribution of funds. The aggrieved party will not profit if he were to cut a deal and walk away. The funds would then either be used for future such needs or returned at Shane's option. At this time it is believed that a vigorous defense is the way to go and that is how we are proceeding.
Details on the incident will follow in the next few moments as I download them.
Edited to add: Thank you one and all for your response - this has been settled to the principlal's satisfaction.
