Netting Case

[duckiller2]

The tribe lowered the restitution from 15,000 down to 3,000 and lowered the lifetime loss of license to 1 year. Also gave the Jensens in Garden 25,000 to hire lawyers to fight in state court on their case. Not a good outcome for the sportsman in the Bays DeNoc.

Until everyone starts boycotting the 5 Kewadin Casinos in the U.P. this stuff will never change.
Until all the different sportsmans groups in the state of Michigan start demanding that what some of the tribal memebers are doing is more than just there heritage nothing will change.

This is a bunch of crap! So by next winter they will be doing the same damn thing!!!

[outdoorguy]

I will never set foot in the casino again !

[baits_well]

you people are idiots. do you really think boycotting casinos is going really going to do ANYTHING?? Newsflash! I'm a tribal member, and guess what! I don't get any money from our tribe. AND, just because a select group of "wannabe indians" get caught violating tribal rights, doesn't mean EVERY tribal member does it. I agree, it's bs that they're getting fines reduced. As one of thousands of tribal members (which is unheard of in any tribe) i am very pissed off. Just remember this before you start "boycotting" casinos- the REAL native american's don't abuse tribal rights, REAL native americans respect the way of life of mother nature. But i guess you guys already knew that hey!?!

To baits well,
Who pays the tribal Judges and the Tribal Council Members? I am willing to bet that the profits from the casinos pays in some way more than just the employies of the casinos. Until there is some pressure put on the tribal council to fine these law breakers with some fines that will make them think twice about selling fish nothing will change.
