seem to hear that water was the liquid thrown. Was it? how do we know? as for the victim/s not pressing charges, I'm told if racial slurs were thrown the offenders can be charged under hate crimes anyway.
Also heard some names being thrown around in public today, I'd be carefull, in case the wrong person gets what someone else should get, however I have no problem with a bully being bullied.
Perhaps said bully should openly apologise and pay damages to the victims, at least admit your, oops his/their mistake and save some face amongst the comunity.
As for the issue of illegal fishing, Brian's approach is the same as mine, and if the offenders appear to understand but continue, RAPP em. I think we have all at least once contravened the regs, unknowingly.
