EXELAND, Wis. - Five people are dead and three injured in a shooting incident that apparently began over a hunting dispute in western Wisconsin.
The confrontation began around noon in a rural area southwestern Sawyer County. Authorities said a hunting party returning to their deer shack reported seeing a hunter unknown to them occupying their tree stand. That led to a shooting.
One of the shooting victims used a walkie talkie to radio back to the deer shack for help. When the victim's hunting partners came to the scene, they were also shot.
Sawyer County was in a virtual lockdown as authorities searched for the gunman. One suspect was eventually taken into custody around 5:15 p.m.
The suspect's name has not been released.
Officials at Lakeview Medical Center in Rice Lake said they have treated at least three gunshot victims. They said one of the victims was transported to a hospital in Marshfield, WI. Another victim is in critical condition and is undergoing surgery. The third victim is in fair condition in the intensive care unit.
I'm assuming you forgot the < /sarcasm > tag?
Gee, ya think?
not funny today @sshole
Sounds like your problem is not the Hmong per se, but rather the Liberal Establishment that has turned this ethnic group (or more likely, their progeny) into a bunch of lawless anarchists.

Yes, there is no need to critize the Hmong people. They have been corrupted by the liberal Democrats into poverty and, similar to some African American, Native American, Hispanic communities, and appalachian white communities are now probably sliding into single motherhood, crime and lawlessness (and of course voting democratic).
Here is a brief piece on the Same thing happening to certain Native American Tribes:

I think CA Justice Rogers Brown says it best:
Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible.
You mean there is FUNGUS A HMONGUS?
There's nothing wrong. Why do you ask? And don't talk with your mouth full.
Then I guess their own paper lies. Those are not my words, that is from Hmong Times Community Paper.
Heh heh, right? Don't go out in those woods, it's too dangerous there! Stay in the city where it's nice and safe!!!!!!!
And Gandalf, YOU of all people, O gray wizard, should know that.
Those 'cockroaches' and YOU are equally loved in the eyes of God, and that's something you might want to keep in mind....
The SKS is ballistically similar to the 30-30.
A 154 gr bullet in 7.62x39 is fair enough for hunting. The 123gr standard ammo isn't quite powerful enough but if it's soft point you have a decent chance of a clean kill.
Terrible photo to post seeing that 5 men are dead.
The SKS was built by Simonov to act as an intermediate range carbine. It's name means literally Self-loading Simonov Carbine. The AK came a few years later and as a result the new gun was phased out but the ammo was kept.
I think you're mistaking Gaoib Xiong's propaganda peice outlining dem efforts in that paper for what is. The bulk of them do not vote d and they are having a hard time with their kids, because of the lefts efforts in the schools, media and street. They same goes for other folks kids regardless of group. If you're susceptable they left preys on you.
Blue State response.
The conversion is uncommon because it's either and M or D model which is banned from future import or it's illegal under 922r. You must substitute enough parts in it to qualify as an American made rifle because without it 922r bans certain imported rifles and weapons modified domestically with more than 10 imported parts from rifles in a banned configuration. Some change out the parts but most don't feel like it care to search from American made pieces.
The AWB was just one of 2 roadblocks to modifying the SKS.
The bad part of this is we loggers always welcomed them to hunt while we worked. I have had several very nice bucks shot on the job while I and my crew were working. One guy got two nice trophy sized bucks one year and his son was struck by buck fever after a HUGE one came out of the slash right up to him. I saw that deer as it walked right up behind my forwarder while I was working.
We have been encouraged to NOT allow hunting on active logging jobs. I will adhere to that advice after this year. Jobs on private sales are another thing..we do not work on them because the land owners dont want us to do so. But corp and public lands are another matter. The state/fed tell us to keep them out as they do not want the liability as do the corporations.
Shame really, they ruin it all for themselves. One corporation is starting to require permits to deer hunt on their land because of ongoing fighting. This incident will no doubt scare them into rethinking letting anyone on their land without signing papers and getting permits. Then the deer blinds plastered up all over the place and abandoned.
Alot of Hmong refugees were relocated to Minneapolis/St. Paul in the 80's and 90's.
Were they threatening to cut off his penis. Because if they were like the dude in Taiwan giving it to the 2 thieves he caught....well perhaps there could be a defense.
News update: Five dead in Wisconsin after hunting dispute erupts into shooting
HAYWARD, Wis. - A dispute among deer hunters over a tree stand in northwestern Wisconsin erupted Sunday in a series of shootings that left five people dead and three injured, officials said.
The alleged gunman, a man from the Twin Cities area, was arrested at about 5:15 p.m. Sunday at the Rusk and Sawyer County line, according to Sawyer County sheriff's officials.
The violence began shortly after a hunting party saw a hunter occupying their tree stand, Sawyer County Chief Deputy Tim Zeigle told KSTP-TV of St. Paul, Minn. A confrontation, and shooting, followed.
One of the shooting victims radioed back to the deer shack for help, he said. When more hunters came to the scene, they also were shot, Zeigle said.
The shootings happened in the town of Meteor in southwestern Sawyer County, County Sheriff James Meier said in a news release. Three people were taken to a local hospital, Meier said.
Melody Hargis, nursing supervisor at St. Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield, said one of the victims, a man, was there in critical condition.
Jennifer Grescowak, director of community relations at Lakeview Medical Center in Rice Lake, said one of the victims, Denny Drew, had surgery and was in serious condition. Another, Lauren Hesebeck, also had surgery and was in fair condition.
Wisconsin's statewide deer gun hunting season started Saturday and lasts for nine days.
Bill Wagner, 72, of Oshkosh, was about two miles away near Deer Lake with a party of about 20 other hunters. He said the incident was "very upsetting."
After they got word of a shooting, he and others went to round up the rest of the party. He said they heard sirens, planes and helicopters and noticed the surrounding roads blocked off.
"When you're hunting you don't expect somebody to try to shoot you and murder you," he said. "You have no idea who is coming up to you."
It took about three hours to round up the other hunters, who were up to four miles apart, Wagner said.
The incident won't dampen their hunt, he said.
"We're all old, dyed-in-wool hunters," he said. "We wouldn't go home because of this but we will keep it in our minds. We're not forgetting it."
