So if someone steals something from you , you shouldn't call the police and instead try to settle it outside of the law ?   Some people do settle things face to face and it turns into shootings and other violence  .  Look how it turned out for O.J. when he tried to get his stuff back outside of the law.   I don't like to see the court system burned either but that's what it's there for.  It's sad that because of his name you side with the person accused of theft , instead of the victim who got ripped off.   IF Mackey is such an adult ---why is he accused of stealing a fellow mushers gear---and why on earth are you defending that theft ?
