Ted -

 

As much as I sympathize the disparagement you were forced to endure, I
applaud your willingness to share it here on Vision 2020.  

 

What you did subsequent to the vandalism committed against your property
reflects a strong sense of responsibility in your reporting it to the county
sheriff's office and a strong measure of maturity in not providing false
witness by wrongfully identifying perpetrators without just cause and in a
retaliatory fashion.

 

Knowingly providing wrong information to the police/sheriff's office when
reporting a crime (or series of crimes) is worse than not providing any
information at all.

 

If Jackie Woolf, Terry Morin, Charlie Nolan, or Michael Metzler were to
participate in any type of activity or transaction that required a local
records check, it is highly likely that they would be listed as "named
individuals" in relation to a reported history of vandalism and harassment.
Financial losses and potential loss of employment are only two possible
repercussions that come to mind.

 

So, you see, this police report and statement initiated by Doug Wilson
amount to considerably more than victimless town gossip.

 

It is also another link in what is painfully becoming Wilson's chain of
malevolence.  Remember a few years back when the discussion On Vision 2020
concerned peoples' right to frequent coffee shops of their liking.  As the
discussion evolved, it was becoming evident that a majority of the
discussion's participants did not favor frequenting Bucer's.  Right away
Doug Wilson accused us of organizing an unlawful boycott of Bucer's.

 

Just digging up old memories, Moscow.

 

I will take a short break for now to enjoy a late lunch and to provide Doug
Wilson ample time to compile the multitude of DPA (Displaying Public
Animosity) violations detailed above and waddle his way to the police
station.

 

Seeya round town, Moscow.

Joan et. al.

 

Joan may remember the extreme vandalism committed against a vehicle I owned
in the spring of 2005.  I communicated with Joan at that time about this
incident.  The level of violence and destruction against said vehicle makes
Wilson's "harassment" look like a playful punch in the shoulder from a buddy
compared to a having someone drop kick your face into the pavement losing
your front teeth in a bloody fractured enameled mess. 

 

My car windows were smashed out, doors frames bent, it looked like from
being impacted by a cinder block, tires flattened...The car had been pushed
or towed into the road from the parking area by the vandals, blocking
traffic.  Consider this was on a rural gravel road, the crime was committed
in the early morning hours on a Saturday, and my car was parked a distance
away from the residence.  

 

When Latah Sheriff deputies showed up, having been notified by someone
driving that the road was blocked, they had my vandalized car towed,
sticking me with the 100 dollar tow bill.  I was sound asleep the whole
time. 

 

After my car was towed away, the two Latah Sheriff deputies pounded on my
door, waking me up.  They informed me what had happened, and told me the
identity of the tow truck business where my car was being held.   

 

And the main relevance of this story to the naming of "suspects" by Wilson
regarding the alleged "harassment?"

 

During my brief discussion of the vandalizing of my car with the Latah
Sheriff deputies, one of them asked if I had any enemies, or could give them
names of suspects.  I offered none.  Sure, I could have reeled off a list of
people who might or do have something against me for one reason or another.
But I felt I had nothing solid to go on to name anybody. 

 

I am not as naive as some on this list who seem to think that offering the
police names of individuals who might be suspects in a crime, when you have
no solid evidence to implicate them, is a trifling issue.  I think it is
highly ethically questionable to implicate others in crimes without solid
grounds. 

 

I could expand in great detail on this theme regarding the negative
consequences of my name being unfairly given to law enforcement to implicate
me in a crime, based on flimsy, unfounded "evidence."  This can damage
reputation, limit employment options, subject someone to embarrassing police
scrutiny, if not harassment, etc. 

 

We see cases in the media where just naming someone as a suspect in a crime
does tremendous damage to the person named, even when later they are totally
exonerated.  And police reports are public documents, are they not?  

 

It would appear so, given that the police reports in question are now on Tom
Hansen's web site.  I don't think law enforcement would release them to the
public if they were meant to be kept "secret," unless forced legally by some
means 

 

Hansen, Metzler, et. al. are all justified in being very concerned about
this issue, in my opinion.
