sadly, society is too dominated by capitalism for him to have any chance.     he's a homeless guy, living outside of the system. he was fishing without a license. I don't see anything wrong with that, but you'll be hard pressed to find someone in the legal system who gives a damn. the only protocol they follow is their own, and anything other than that is treated as chaos and contempt.     the system is setup to pretty much ignore homelessness. by default, the system assumes you're a consumer and must do this or that. we are not actually free. we aren't even legally allowed to live off the land we are born on, while companies are essentially entitled to all natural resources for profit.     all they will do is ring him through the system. they'll issue a warrant for his arrest, and let the next judge deal with it. they'll keep coming at him, and in the end, he will be jailed, fined, and whatever else. I'm not saying it's right, but that's exactly what will happen.     I've been saying it a long time, capitalism needs checks and balances and limits, otherwise its about as broken as communism.     sure those in power let us have some things, like personal gardens and small personal business ventures....but in the big picture, they don't let us have much of anything unless it's afforded by us, from them (much like the democrats with entitlements). many people are blind to these facts, and how they play into the bigger picture. it's one of those things that you don't understand how much it permeates our lives....until you do. then there's no denying it.
