That murderer owns 40 acres of hunting land of his own.
I thought I read that he couldn't get a hunting license in his own state.
Judging by their attitudes as quoted in this piece, I would say that was a big mistake, and should be ended.
The media is out of control. The media has over stepped their bounds. The media is interferring in our judicial process.
A prime example is the Scott, Lacy Peterson case.
Hesebeck, who was released from a hospital Tuesday after treatment for a shoulder wound, told investigators Willers shot at Vang after Vang fired first but missed. Both accounts agreed that Vang shot the others as more people from the deer camp arrived at the scene after Hesebeck used a walkie-talkie to call for help. Vang said he continued firing as the group scattered, and at one point chased one of the hunters and shot him in the back, only to find the man had no gun, the document states. Authorities have said there was only one gun among the victims. According to investigators, it’s believed Vang fired at least 20 shots. Hesebeck told the Star Tribune of Minneapolis on Tuesday that much of what he has heard in news media reports about the incident is not accurate.
I did not read that, but I don't doubt it being a posibility. Fact is owning property is not tied to a person's ability to get a hunting license.
As I read the title of this article I had a smudge on my glasses and read "Al Hunt Turns Tragic,....." ,But then I thought "No, that happened many years ago, why tell us now?"
I have been hunting all my life and normally I take a box of ammo (20 rounds) with me. The rifle I use holds 5 rounds and I carry 5 more extra (in the mountain).
The Democrat Principle, "What is mine is mine, What is yours is mine if I decide I want it."!
Purposely written for a core audience that has racial hatred as its religion. This goof probably never thought of asking if the Hmong had any of that famous "racial animous" that seems so prevalent amongst whites to the writers at the NYTs. Perhaps conservatives ought to really question the morality of the left instead of meekly challenging the New Nazis.
What do you mean, they are the new revolutionary martyrs according to the NYTs.
NYSlimes culture. Evil is good and all things american is evil.
And don't forget that culture get's celebrated by the likes of the New York Slimes, et al.
If the victims would have been Hmong, it would be a "hate crime", and we would see it trumpeted as an example of intolerance for months on end, and all throughout the trial.
But since the victims were not part of a protected minority, it's just an innocent misunderstanding between cultures which can be quietly sorted out with a plea bargain or two.
One reporter I saw (can't remember which network) was baiting a Hmong community leader about the "racial slur" explanation. To his credit, the leader replied "Six men have been killed and the one who did it is alive. Nothing they might have said can justify such an act! We do not consider him one of us."
One element ignored in this story: in SEA, the Hmong worked very closely with U.S. Special Forces and they were superb jungle fighters, feared by the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese. Obviously, the accused gunman is too young to have served in Vietnam, but I'm sure he was schooled by Hmong veterans of the Vietnam War. Otherwise, how could a single shooter get the drop on six heavily-armed hunters that (presumably) were decent shots themselves?
He was a sharpshooter in the National Guard.
Actually, my understanding is that only one was armed. The rest of the victims were unarmed.
