and posting to it.

In no way did I disparage anyone for expressing their outrage or question their right to express their outrage. So I don't see how you get that I have a problem with them expressing their outrage. I questioned their logic on the subject and why so many people think it's okay to break this particular law. I questioned how would it be fair and equal justice to all the other people charged with violating this law (some of whom have presumably been found guilty and paid fines and/or served time) if this couple gets off because of an Internet campaign. I questioned the actions of the couple who saved the deer after they saved it and made arguments for why what they did was wrong in addition to being illegal.

I also don't see anything in my original post that rises to the level of "outrage." I didn't make any suggestions that people should break the law "because it's a stupid law" nor did I post exasperated comments about "how wrong" this all is.
