TXARGUY,
What I used to tell my kids,,,,
Don't blame the guy that turned you in, he didn't make you do what you did. You did. He just pointed it out.
That's what my Pop used to tell me. And he was right. What happened is a result of what He decided to do and how He reacted after getting caught. If He had not done it in the first place, none of this would have happened. Period. The fact that he lost more than you intended is not your fault but his. His actions started a chain of events, you just pointed them out.
Perhaps karma is getting him back for the times he was not caught or someone was to timid to point it out. At his age, it probably wasn't the first time. Hopefully he will learn and it will be his last.
Had a customer try to get me involved when he got caught tresspassing and poaching, over several weeks. Several deer. Said that I gave permission for land that I don't even know the owner. Helped get him burned for it too.
Ain't got much sympathy for either. Just the innocents that also had to pay for their stupidity. Your guy and mine both made their own choices.
