Frequent LOCO commenter and local agitator Dane Carr wanting a jury trial again, wasting taxpayer money, again

Dane Carr, these day, best known as  one of the frequent LOCO commenters is no stranger to the courthouse. He was often protesting during Occupy Eureka takeover of the courthouse property.

The City of Eureka wasted $13K thanks to Dane Carr and his stubborness. http://www.times-standard.com/general-news/20131222/eureka-spends-13k-fighting-camping-violation-case-city-says-defendant-refused-to-enter-plea-agreement

According to the court computers, his latest court date is for alleged violation of CA Penal Code 417. A Trial Readiness Conference is scheduled for 1/14 at 1:00 in courtroom 2.  Jury Trial is set for 1/20 at 8:30 a.m. How much money will Dane cost the County and the taxpayers?

There were arrest warrants issued on 1/17/14 and bench warrants on 7/3/14 and 10/23/14.  It indicates that he was picked up on the 10/23/14 bench warrant on 11/25/14 and released on OR.

Dane has plenty of excuses for his misfortune, plenty of advice for others. Here's some for you Dane. Spend a little less time on the blogs and sticking it to the man. You are a perfect example of how money that should be spent on helping people is wasted on frivolous court appearances defending people who take no responsibility and blame others for life choices.

Whether he is gainfully employed or actually residing somewhere now, he did not get there without help from the very people he criticizes. This is by his own admission if you believe anything he says.
