Good for Tanana for cleaning up its own act. If it were me, I’d think about also punishing the deadbeat who didn’t pay the couch. He’s not a victim. He was the one who actually started the aggression by not fulfilling his obligations. I don’t know if his crime rises to the level of banishment, but it should be severe because if the village continues to allow this sort of deadbeat behavior, it is inviting the sort of violence that follows it.
Sad that the State Troopers are now in virtual military occupation of their village, driving home the point to the innocent that they will punish the guilty … or just subjugate the peaceful.
Just a hint the the Troopers … your behavior may well be what is causing the violence aimed at your officers. You can’t go around violating people’s natural rights to be secure in their persons without reaping some push-back.
And, no, I don’t condone the violence. I just understand it.
