It was nice of him to offer Vandeman free accommodation, but hopefully
the State of California will soon offer him the same deal for a much
longer period of time, in a gated community, with three meals a day.

Vandeman will be given an ankle bracelet and told to stay in his musty
little apartment when he's not at work. There is no room at the gated
communities in California.

The costs would probably be borne by Alameda County for a misdemeanor
conviction. It would either be Santa Rita Jail in Dublin or the
smaller Dyer Detention Facility in Oakland. I thought that the latter
was typically for those held awaiting trial, although they do seem to
hold a few convicted inmates.

The minimum sentence for the felony is probation and a fine, the maximum
is 4 years in State Prison. You're right, he'd likely get probation
since it's a first offense.

They would have to plea bargain to the misdemeanor, he's been charged with
felony assault for swinging his tree-saw at innocent people.

What innocent people would that be? The mountain bikers? We KNOW they were
the instigators because all mountain bikers who ride their bikes on hiking
trails are asshole-idiots. It I had my way, they would be summarily executed
on the spot. And then we hikers and all true lovers of wilderness would line
up to **** on their graves. I say ****'em!

Your view and the law are not aligned on this one. Your butt-buddy,
Vandeman, assaulted people with a saw. That is felony assault, if he is
convicted. Nobody gives a rat's ass how "innocent" the bike riders are, they
didn't assault anybody. So, we all say, **** you. **** you.

Your asshole-idiot criminal mountain bikers are guilty as hell of being
where they were not suppose to be. If we had a sane society, instead of a
****ed-up California, they would be publicly pilloried and spat upon by the
women and children of the land. Only I am of high enough status to **** on
them.

Instead we have a criminal off-road motorist like you who wants to drive his
g.d. jeep wherever. Get off your lazy ass and hike the trails like God and
Saint Edward the Great intended. You will feel better both physically and
mentally and not want to write bad words like "**** you". Otherwise I am
afraid you are a prime candidate for the dreaded Spanish Inquisition!

Yeah - it's a wide fire road with signage and enforcement that's been
spotty at best as to whether or not it was actually against the rules
to ride a bicycle there. It's wide enough for large maintenance
vehicles, and hardly singletrack. I've never heard of UCPD arresting
or even citing anyone for riding a bike there.

The question I'd like to know is why Vandeman was on University of
California property with a handsaw - likely carried in order to do
unauthorized trail maintenance?

There are signs all over campus stating that the right to pass on
University property can be revoked. I could imagine staying off of UC
property could be a condition of a sentence.
