Heard it. Just can't use it out here.
According to court records, Vang allegedly shot several of Sunday’s victims in the back.
Hard to shoot someone in the back when they are in front of you. You would have to circle behind them. Add in the fact that he turned his jacket from orange to cameo and he was hunting.
OK, I missed that info, my bad. Hunted they were. Guy flipped out seems like. Either that or he was the killer next door nobody knew. And that is creepy, believe me, I lived in NYC during Son of Sam.
He ALSO went back, realized one of them wasn't dead after being shot...and shot him again to make sure he had no witnesses.
Have you read his confession to the police? I can link it if you'd like.
No one would've thought someone could hijack a plane with a box cutter, either. Telling a guy to get off of your tree stand could hardly be called a provocation. Vang could've apologized and went on his way. No harm, no foul, no need to call the police.
I knew one or more were shot in the back, I thought they were fleeing.
And from what I read, he had started to walk away when he turned and started firing. If any turned and ran they would have got it in the back. I also read that at least two were shot when on their ATV's(?) (the woman and the teen?). I don't know if they were shot upon arrival or if they tried to get away after arriving.
LOL!!
I'd like that link, Gramma.
Prior to this if I called the police because I found someone trespassing in private woods they would ask me if I had asked him to leave. If I told them, "no." They would have said, "Well, tell him to leave. If he doesn't call us back."
We would have to triple the police force during hunting season if you called the cops every time you stumbled over someone where they shouldn't be.
Now they are more likely to show up. But prior? Nah. Why should they?
HOLD da line!
It's his statement, not a confession per se?
Part of me is curious, and part of me doesn't really care what the guy says, since one would have to think it would be designed to save his ass.
Big surprise, eh?
Please read it.
DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!!! WE HAVE A WINNER, FOLKS!
You are exactly right!
Just two months ago it was me out in the woods with my bow. If I had found someone in my stand it would have never occured to me to call the cops. I would have just asked him to move as I have done in the past. No muss no fuss. Why should there be? It isn't as if they still hang you for poaching the kings deer.
Now everything has changed but I know why those hunters did what they did. You worry about some nitwit with more hair then brains shooting you by accident but murder? That is stuff that happens in the city. Not out in the woods. not until now.
I agree. And now, I'm going to check out and go to bed and close my eyes. And again tonite, I know I'm going to see that 20 y.o. kid running away from that vermin, and the vermin shooting the kid in the back.
I pray for peace in those families hearts.
Good night all.
Why did he shoot the unarmed people in the back?
Goodnight to both of you. Sleep well...
