Deer Hunting

what if there weren't racist a-holes with guns walking around in packs in the woods?

what if there were only bows and arrows. then he'd have to be robin hood to take down 6 people.

He shot unarmed people in the back as they were running away. That is all you need to know. Nothing they did makes it right to do that. They were probably bitching him out and calling him some racist names, but that doesn't give him any right to shoot people.

That's what I thought also. He shot people without guns, so that's enough to be found guilty of murder. I'm like everyone else, I just want to know what really happened. But we'll never find out now. Everyone who was there might've changed parts of the story a bit here and there so now the real story will never be real. Get what I'm saying.
My uncle's and cousin went squirrel hunting this weekend and they ran into a situation kinda like this. A gun was pointed at someone and that's all i know. Their hunting trip was ended early but no one was killed so that's a good thing for everyone. Last thing we need is another shootout/murder rampage.

Were they trespassing?

I dont know about that part. But my uncle doesnt like to trespass. He knows how ugly people can get if you're too close to their property. I think it was just a misunderstanding type thing. Someone THOUGHT someone took a shot at someone and yadee yadee yadee. You know how people may think differently after this case. They are more carefull, maybe too carefull that when they hear a shot they might think it's meant to hit them.

i know, i was saying that more so that i could say "what if" in response to CVD's post. i've looked at both sides to the story, and for some reason i don't care as much as other people i talk to about it.

i know he shot them in the back.
But as to why is the reason.

There's more reason as to why he shot them in the back.

"I remember reading something similar to this in history. The man was looked upon guilty to the core. It appeared that he nailed another man with a hammer. But in the end, it turned out that it wasn't him. It was due to the guy falling down and hitting himself. The accused was asian, the dead man was white. The jury and the people around were white."

I'm not defending him to death here guys. I'm just saying there is something there.
Because of ties, its just odd he would do something like that unless something else occurred. According to reading the paper, one testimony said Chai Vang apologized and was leaving. (I just think its odd how he would apologize, eave then turn around and shoot)

This case has its facts. It has its evidence. And it has mystery.


But b/c of ties, i feel something else unspoken is there. This is why there is those "what ifs"
thats just my opinion.

Now if it was someone like that BTK fucker, i'd want justice to the core.

There are a lot of crazy people out there. There are also a lot of people with short tempers. I think he was probably leaving and there were some racial slurs yelled after him, he got mad and started shooting.

It is purely speculation, but sounds very plausable. I could easily see the whole scenario happening. I saw interviews on the news of his neighbors and they said he had a short temper and they heard screaming from his place sometimes.

I'm not trying to go out and defend this guy, but whos to say that the hunters didn't shoot first. Or maybe fire off a warning shot in anger, and Vang thought they were trying to kill him? Vang said himself he thought they shot at him. Only Vang knows the truth, but even if thats what happened, the fact that he shot any one and everyone after that makes him a murderer. I think he got what he had coming to him in court, but I'm sure theres more to this story than meets the eye, and none of us will probly ever know the truth. My .02....

Ok sleepy, please give me a hypothetical situation in which shooting an unarmed person in the back multiple times is justified.
