Fearing violence, state of Washington cancels wolf meetings

[bornhunter]

WDFW is also a Law Enforcement agency. Never heard of a LEA cancelling a meeting because of some threats?

Not quite the same thing.

There's been many times where cities or counties had to cancel meetings because of threats or protests, well each of those entities have their Sheriff's Office and Police Departments, yet they still cancel the meeting. This wasn't the Enforcement Program of WDFW having a meeting, this was WDFW as a whole (similar to city/county agency meeting) having a meeting.

Right. I was just thinking they have a ton if enforcement people so have a bunch of them as well as a few Deputies and throw in some State Troopers and have the meeting. Somebody gets outta line deal with them but dont cancel the meeting. The threat makers just won.

The power to be that runs this State are an exact duplicate of the German Nazi Regime.

You clearly havent read anything about the nazi party.

  While I have a extreme dislike for those who govern this state and also one whom lost all their relatives in Denmark to the Nazi regime I must say that is stupidest statement made on this forum to date.

I really wonder if the State is faking this so they don't have to take public comment.  It is kind of sad this is the first thing that comes to mind

There have been death threats in the past. The FBI is currently involved. I would consider that credible evidence that risk exists.

seems like the leftists like to threaten violence constantly, looking at almost all of the recent shootings have been carried out by leftists

I'm not sure this was the "leftists"....

I think Conservation NW founder Mitch Friedman , the self admitted eco terrorists and crazy left wing wolf advocate, would disagree with you.

Anti hunting left wing crazy loony tunes like Mr Friedman have always been very clear they would achieve their objectives by any means possible including violence and destruction of private property and destroying rural ranchers

I think you better do your homework before you assume

I guess founding and running a group for over a decade on the FBI terrorist watch list would not be enough evidence for the crazy cultists

[WAcoyotehunter]

CNW is not the group that got the meetings cancelled.  Of you have a shred of evidence otherwise feel free to share that.... I know you're a one trick pony, but you're going to have to start looking for another culprit

speaking of evidence.

What evidence do you have to suggest its ranchers or others here in EWA who are threatening WDFW staff with violence?

I've not seen or heard anyone on FB or any other social media who are threatening the safety and welfare of WDFW staff.
 
What I HAVE seen is the leftist pro-wolf huggers threatening the lives of ranchers, their cattle and other livestock, and other people who are seeking relief from predators!

I wish they would hold these meetings in a large shipping container.  Once we got all the crazies inside - lock the door and put them on a barge headed for some distant location.

Then, the nut jobs from BOTH sides of the wolf debates could endlessly screech their misinformation at each other in some remote island while everyone else engaged in reasonable discussion informed by facts and logic.

Ahhhh....to dream

I wouldn't wish that on you.

[WAcoyotehunter]

I don't think there was any threats to the staff, although I could be wrong about that. When the militia in Stevens county said they were going to show up well-armed for the meeting the department had the option of canceling that meeting or canceling them all across the state, obviously they chose the latter.

[KFhunter]

I had no idea about a militia showing up armed, thanks for sharing that.   Now it makes much more since. 

Now I can't blame WDFW for not having a meeting if that is indeed the case, and I have no reason to doubt you, although we disagree on many things you've always been very honest and I respect that a great deal.

Thanks WAcoyotehunter 

[WAcoyotehunter]

No sweat.  I still think the state should have held the rest of the meetings.
