50 police officers? Those 20 people arrested should be required to pay for it. You can protest all you want...but if you break the law you should pay the price....literally.

Craig: I agree 100% with you...If you are going to break the law, and force us to send all these police officers over, you better be prepared for the consequence, including hefty fines.

Raises the question, when Mr. Wohltmann writes
with neither side budging". The only place that the locked out workers have to budge is to walk away.
The community should be outraged that hard working people employed at a country club have been locked off their jobs by management at a club which people pay tens of thousands of dollars to join and remain members of. Shame on Castlewood.
