Oh, say it isn't so!  Leaders of the two largest public employee unions are under investigation for criminal activity?  Can't they just tell their pal the Guv and their other pals in the Legislature to just back off? 

Well, they probably won't really need to do that, because the OEA and SEIU own the state attorney general, Mr. Hardly Matters, along with most of the rest of the leftist politicians in the state.  Hardly will likely determine that it's all just a misunderstanding and so there's no need to prosecute anybody on the class C felony.  Unsurprisingly, our old friend Patty Wentz is the major player in this, and she  - following her usual style - disdainfully sniffs at the investigation, haughtily proclaiming that some folks just don't understand Oregon law.  She's sort of like "taxes are for the little people" Leona Helmsly (sp questionable on the last name).   Like Leona, Patty views herself as above the law, because either laws don't apply to her or because people are too stupid to understand the law in the first place.

This one occurred some 60 miles south of the Oregon state line, but it's yet another "heads-up" for Oregonians, who fell for a bunch of animal "rights" propaganda and voted to disallow the hunting of these predators by recreational hunters using dogs.  In this California incident, a 65-year-old woman, hiking with her 70-year-old husband, eventually managed to beat the animal that had pounced upon her husband and was busily engaged in mauling him.  She found a large stick and proceeded to spend several minutes pounding the hell out of the cat until it finally let go of her husband.

After the attack, game wardens closed the park and released hounds to track the lion. They later shot and killed two lions found near the trail where the attack happened.

This is actually the only way one can hunt cats.  And Oregonians killed that option because well-heeled "activists" portrayed the kitties as cute and harmless.  And Oregonians bought into it.
