Mountain Man Back In Jail, Supporters Want to Arrest JudgeHeather Callaghan Last year, we showcased his breathtaking speech to a judge that made her walk out of the room. In November he was at it again, not so much as physically standing up to be detained by bailiffs because even that would be acknowledging kangaroo court mandates. When we left off he was awaiting a sentencing and received a $1500 fine. All of this, you may recall, surrounded Ernie attempting to catch a fish and eat without having a fishing licence and a charge of resisting arrest. The escalation continues as the court system will not concede. Tertelgte was rushed through another trial on January27 without his many supporters allowed presence. When they were finally allowed in he was being hauled away again for contempt of court for not removing his well-recognized three-corner hat. This time his friends want more justice. You wont catch any footage of his latest courtroom protest, as not only were friends kept waiting outside the courtroom, but all photos and video recording attempts were banned. Also missing from this interplay was the original judge, Wanda Drusch. A supporter said: Here is the latest development that involves his friends and their reaction to Ernies latest detainment: The news report is calling them an unorganized militia that is threatening the judge with arrest. Ernies friend William Wolf says: Sheriff Brian Gootkin, catching the remark and worried about threats that affect the judges family, said: You dont say, Sheriff? What of the family of a man who went fishing and didnt offer his name to law enforcement? How is a citizens arrest suddenly kidnapping but repeatedly jailing a man who objects in court is considered just? What about citizens living in fear of aggressive confrontations by law enforcement in every area of life driving, fishing, sleeping, getting ready in the morning Interestingly, Sheriff Gootkin compares the group of supporters to the Freemen group and ultimately, to him, a disease. Is the Whirling disease he is referring to the same kind that comes from a parasite that affects fish? Something to think about Meanwhile, the court refuses to hear Ernies protests or consider dropping the original charge, so the court system has used untold amounts of taxpayer money. Clearly this is not just about the justice regarding a fishing license. Perhaps there is something else caught up on the hook and line Gootkin says they are willing to listen to their side, but obviously,Tertelgteand his friends are not actually beingheard. Throughout all the hearings, the judges have yet to address his legitimate points about the courtroom procedures. Wolf has responded to the original report via a Facebook comment. Here is one excerpt from his lengthy response: They can smear and detract from the issue at heart all they want, but the Internet is still watching to see WWMMD What Would Mountain Man Do? Previously: Recent posts byHeather Callaghan: Subsistence fishing and hunting is not illegal. For a man that was trying to get out of court in a 50,000 dollar SUV I dont think subsistence fishing/hunting is going to fly Whats that mean? Are you saying hes really a rich guy in stinky disguise? I dont know about stinky, though if he is really trying to follow the mountain man persona. I dont know about rich, though I cannot afford such a nice ride Yet , I can pay my fishing license fees. I just think he is one of those anti government people that has taken on this persona to try and disassociate himself with the the laws of the United States. Unfortunate for him he will have his 15 minutes of fame or infamy that will ultimately end badly. The sad thing though is we will have those who try to follow his misguided logic and add to the courts problems. Maybe he just caught a ride from someone with a nice car. Possibly but it does call into question the whole mountain man persona he has adopted. If he wants us to believe that he is living by the standards of the mountain man era shouldnt he have picked up his walking stick and hiked away? If that were true he should have just made a motion to dismiss due to failure to allege a crime. It would have gone a lot better than all this living man and legal fiction and wheres your bond crap. I agree. What he did was just antagonizing the judge. I should also point out that my original statement might not be true depending on what state you are in. My state allows a starving person to catch a fish and eat it without having a fishing license. No idea about that state, though. yes he is free, to leave if he does not like the laws of this country and the state Run for office change the law! The people vote, the people agree with the court. pay the fine and buy a license, live within the laws. disappear back into obscurity. The supporter who says refusing to take off a hat isnt immoral is completely wrong. The judiciary protects him. It protects all of us. You cant just tell the court to go **** itself.
