Griz Kill Exposes Anti-Rural Bigotry?

Rural solidarity is clearly up against anti-rural bigotry in the continuing debate over federal prosecution of a north Idaho man who fatally shot one of three grizzly bears that wandered onto his property and allegedly posed an immediate threat to his children. The case remains a hot topic among Northwest hunters and gun rights activists at the Hunting-Washington , Northwest Firearms , WaGuns and HuntFishNW forums. Over the weekend, the debate got nasty in the wake of the release of a letter written by Boundary County Prosecutor Jack Douglas in support of Jeremy Hill, who killed a male grizzly back in May, immediately reported it to state wildlife agents, and now finds himself charged with a federal crime. Portions of the letter were quoted by the Spokane Spokesman-Review / Dave Workman , Seattle Gun Rights Examiner. More here.

Question: Do you agree/disagree with columnist Workman that the killing of a grizzly by Jeremy Hill of Bonners Ferry has attracted anti-rural bigotry?
