If you bring it back you get your money back- locate them at stores that want business and leave it at that. What they need to do is concentrate on is lowering the price of these things. Ones that transmit to a satellite dish and don't cost much.

My prayers are with the family. Please everyone be careful out there- this weather can be very dangerous. If this happened where I think it did those are very steep mountains to climb and descend. What a tragedy!

You see an injustice and know that it is so very wrong- but your hands are tied. I don't live anywhere near Skamania nor do I know any good attorney's and I certainly don't know what more to do but give my support here. I just wish someone could help this family and make sure Mike is released. Regardless of what Skamania law enforcement THINKs happened - Mike should NOT be in jail and should never have been put there to begin with- maybe a hospital to run some more tests but definitely NOT in JAIL!!! I still continue to pray for the Fisher family... and I will continue to do so until someone with authority comes to their senses about this!! God be with you in this time of need. Maybe someone could post for donations to help to pay for a good attorney? Or at least to help out the family. These events hurt the entire community and the faith one has in justice for all.

When someone has suffered tragedy in their lives they start replaying everything over and over in their mind- and one thing they do is they wonder well maybe if I just stayed home today or maybe if I just didn't take that direction to work. You can't avoid life- unfortunately Mike was at a place at the wrong time- he was faced with people who obviously didn't mind using violence to resolve their problems. Actions... such as did Mike could have just stayed home instead of heading back to camp to get his stuff or maybe he didn't need to go hunting at all this year. Or maybe if he didn't contact KPTV then maybe the locals wouldn't have had it out for him... There is some guilt of doing anything when tragedy hits- but do we sit in our house and never leave for fear someone hurts us? Mike fought for the freedom to LIVE FREE in this country he shouldn't be scared to leave his own home. So yes if Mike didn't go hunting this year none of this would have happened to HIM- but most likely this would have happened to someone else because this isn't Mike fault - it's the fault of the guys who injured him!

WHY would you want us to not post in support of Cara??? That is a very strange thing to ask as "Friend of Cara's".... Seems really odd to me. And I have only supported everything you just posted in my previous posts- I certainly wont stop posting in support unless Cara says to- she sounds pretty content with our posts- why aren't you??? You should be helping her look for a good attorney and not be telling us what to do... sounds like a good use of your time.

This story NEEDS to have some light shed on it! Wed, 25 Nov 2009 04:57:49 +0000 http://www.kptv.com/news/21630753/detail.html#IDComment44634323 http://www.kptv.com/news/21630753/detail.html#IDComment44531546 God be with you and your family. My prayers are now and have been going out to you. The only reason I have posted anything on here is because I am completely unattached from the situation and feel strongly that there are some serious violations against your husband and your family. Continue to try to find some media resource that will look into this and at least give your story- unfortunately only a handful of people are even reading the truth on these comments instead of believing what the other media has said. I believe your husband is innocent of ANY crime and as a family your reactions to everything that has happened are normal. Unfortunately Skamania County law enforcement wants to ignore the obvious and ignore the violators that created this mess. Where is it legal to RUN SOMEONE OVER???!!! Wow.. if this happened in Portland and it was a bicyclist it would be plastered on every paper and air every 10 minutes on the news- but it is in Skamania and that leaves you with the sad situation of a crime not being punished. Stay strong for your man and your own family. I hope my prayers give you strength Cara!

Hunters disregard the safety of other hunters... When you go out to an area where you intend on hunting with a rifle- the last thing another party of hunters should do is be in the same area- it is basic hunters safety. You don't want hunters nearby in the woods anywhere near where you hunt- it's not to be greedy it is for your protection and theirs. As a disabled hunter Mike was at his location to hunt and these locals came up and ran into the woods ahead of him- which is dangerous, extremely rude and childish. If you are shooting an animal and know that their are a bunch of other hunters all over in the woods near you it is not safe- In hunter safety it is called zones of fire. This is from the hunters safety book: "Game hunters moving along a trail or through cover may use zones of fire. As they change position the location of their safe zone of fire changes accordingly. Each hunter, though, knows where the other is and respects his or her zone of fire." Unfortunately there are TOO many hunters that just don't care. And good hunters are running into bad hunters more and more every year.

Who knows.... I told them to read through all the comments. I would say try to contact as many news channels you can even Seattle. You need media who will be fair and is willing to look at all the information. Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:12:19 +0000 http://www.kptv.com/news/21630753/detail.html#IDComment44173008 http://www.kptv.com/news/21630753/detail.html#IDComment44128471 This all sounds so crooked to me. I guess Skamania county is protecting THEIR OWN. I thought we lived in America. Corruption in our own back yard... this is really sad!!! Are these locals trying to send a message to outsiders not visit Skamania? Sat, 21 Nov 2009 06:07:23 +0000 http://www.kptv.com/news/21630753/detail.html#IDComment44128471 http://www.kptv.com/news/21630753/detail.html#IDComment44107948 Just where are the guys who did this to him- you make no mention of this in your 3 posts. I am glad you can be so one sided on this when a man was beaten in your county by thugs. I doubt he was heading up to hunt- he was probably going to go get his crap. Since the hoodlums that beat him certainly didn't stick around afterwards to help him gather up his stuff. Oh wait they didn't do anything wrong because this is their county and they can do what ever they want. So they are untouched and sitting pretty after they beat this guy up- THAT IS SOMETHING YOU SHOULD BE QUESTIONING! Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:10:13 +0000 http://www.kptv.com/news/21630753/detail.html#IDComment44107948 http://www.kptv.com/news/21630753/detail.html#IDComment44107482 Pissed Off Resident!- you make no mention of the FACT that he has a head injury- his own wife says he is not himself- HE SHOULD BE IN A HOSPITAL!!! Where they can check and make sure that he is ok... head injuries can alter ones personality and they can also get worse without treatment. Whether he went anywhere or not- he should have had a follow up appointment with a doctor- how is he to get that from jail??? Emergency sucks- they don't do anything more than some superficial tests- They would always suggest that the patient see their normal doctor a few days after their injury to make sure that their are not any other symptoms- So what he was on his way back to his camp and brought his guns just in case he saw these outlaws - but any other reason then he does needs serious treatment. If he had a camp he has ALL THE RIGHT IN THE WORLD to go get his stuff! No he shouldn't have loaded guns in his car- ever- but that IS ALL he should be charged with- which would take away his hunting license and they can take his car away from him and fine him- everything else is speculation as to his motive! You could care less about actual justice - you are just trying to defend the actions that lead up to him sitting in jail. How do you defend the fact that these other guys ARE NOT in jail for what they did???!!! You are a hypocrite! That's for sure! Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:02:25 +0000 http://www.kptv.com/news/21630753/detail.html#IDComment44107482 http://www.kptv.com/news/21630753/detail.html#IDComment44010867 So where is channel 12 when you need them- They sure didn't mind following the story in the beginning but have obviously stepped away from it now- are they scared of the locals? Seems to me they might be embarrassed that they even interviewed Mike- So they have obviously taken a side on this story- I'm pretty sure that is not their job. They are supposed to report the news and from the posts above this story is way bigger than the initial beating and there are some citizens in the county that are scared for their lives. Wow- way to drop the ball- they could do a follow up story and report how this injustice is being handled- but I guess the windy weather on the coast is way more important then a victim sitting in jail while the criminals are free. And his daughter might spend the holidays without their father. Sounds like they have a really good story to cover here.... Where are the reporters NOW!!!

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:38:29 +0000 http://www.kptv.com/news/21630753/detail.html#IDComment43757961 http://www.kptv.com/news/21630753/detail.html#IDComment43757851 If Mike dies in jail from head injuries like the actress from that ski accident- then Mr David Cox might have some people beating down his door. Otherwise it sounds like they feel pretty content on doing whatever they want with this case. And if Cara above is speaking the truth about her call and the actions following- WHY IS MIKE EVEN IN JAIL? This is outrageous! This reminds me of the movie "Walking Tall".... Where is Dwayne Johnson when you need him? Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:37:02 +0000 http://www.kptv.com/news/21630753/detail.html#IDComment43757851 http://www.kptv.com/news/21630753/detail.html#IDComment43657232 I bet they are hanging out drinking some beers and having a good laugh about the whole thing- "we sure showed him huh!" Because they certainly aren't in jail. If the Skamania law enforcement has better things to do then make some arrests then maybe another counties law enforcement should look into the whole thing. But say we give them the benefit of the doubt and say they had a lack of evidence to charge these guys... I would say the injuries are a good start- wouldn't you? The victim is now in jail suffering from a concussion and licking his wounds while some hoodlums from out back are running around having a great ole time. That is justice for you. I don't think this could LOOK any worse.

I think you just proved my point... there is some serious concern about loyalty to ALL peoples rights. It is nice to know that Skamania county takes care of their own. Seriously, does your county think it can let local criminals just go on with their daily routines when a man was beaten? Just because he wasn't from around them thar parts? As far as I know this isn't YOUR county- YOU don't own it- people are free to hunt there and go there without feeling like the locals are going to string them up... You people are scary!!!

I keep hearing -who knows what- fly down the road- must be sheet metal or garbage cans. This is noisy! My Dog keeps barking from the bedroom- she thinks someone is trying to break in. This is kind of annoying. I don't live in Kansas or Florida- just the gentle wind and rain of the NW... Lived here all my life- and this is a new one to me.
