ok fair enough about the "in the water"..
I don't fish enough high profile waters where these places privatize their waters.. Most streams around here are just local folks that don't get a bunch of outside pressure so the allow you to stay in the water without conflict.
The Betters pool was never an issue until after the dsr suit came about.. I have shared the water there with Fran from walking down from the flume and was never questioned.
 
PS.
My son just had his closing on the house in Granville and moved in yesterday so I may need some guide lessons on the Mettawee and BK rivers ;)

++++++ Bear.  That was the whole fiasco in a nutshell.
 
 
That's  great RJ!  The Mettawee has a few good spots close to G'ville. Some of the spots you walk in to  from Truthville have some pretty big fish. Maybe we can take the yaks on it- you'd clean up with Rapalas-  some nice wild bows in there, along with the browns.

Yeah really. If you're gonna prosecute one, better make it both. That's the kinda thing that makes people think less of the police.

Guy-perhaps you didn't see the video-The one I read they are talking bout arresting was struck first therefore it seems IMHO kinda unreasonable not to  pinch the other  as well . Fact is facts and thats how they are supposed to be looked at. It aint bout who ya like or don't like but how it IS,
 As far as not liking LE- well- thats your cross to bear.

If LE effects a lawful arrest it will be based upon the excessive use of force (PL 110.00 Attempted Assault 3rd degree (B/MISD).  Once the young lady defended herself successfully against Dawn's initial attack she has the duty to stop.  Its my understanding that the authorities feel  that she continued to pummel Dawn once she had gained control.  I don't necessarily agree with that position because you have no way of knowing what the intent is of the person you had under your control.  The question is, at what point have you eliminated the threat? 
 
Even after the beat down Dawn's mouth was still running as she verbally threatened her combatant and confronted others down river from the altercation. 
 
Because this event happened in a public place with evidence from the independent video both should have been charged with PL 240.20 Disorderly Conduct Sub. 1, 2, & 3 (violation). 
 
Also, Dawn should be charged with PL 240.25 Harassment (violation) Sub. 1, 2 & 3 and PL 240.30 Aggravated Harassment in the second degree (A/MISD) Sub. 1.
 
Dawn, because of her behavior in the presence of her daughter, may have opened herself up to PL 260.10 Endangering the welfare of a child (A/MISD) Sub. 1.
 
I do not believe there is enough to charge either individual with PL 120.00 Assault in the third degree (A/MISD) if there is no physical injury causing "substantial pain."  If this is charged it will be an over reach by the DA's office. 

I understand the going to far thing but it was me that was arrested I would simply say she attacked me and she never stopped resisting.
The video clearly shows Dawn trying to crawl out from under the other woman.
How could she be sure Dawn wasn't still trying to attack her.
Dawn's charging at her after she did get up pretty much proves that the woman didn't go to far.
 
Not in favor of violence but to arrest the person who was attacked is wrong.
 

Never thought I'd say this but this seems a good time to squash this thread, ( nothing to do with your post Ugly)- the troubled person responsible just isn't a good enough Sr representative to warrant this much effort IMHO.
