This story hits close to home (no pun really intended): I support hunting, but my family has had loads and loads of a-hole hunters come on to our land (12 wooded acres) year after year, tear down our "NO HUNTING" signs, and fire high-powered rifles around our house.
8 years for a guilty plea should have been the minimum sentence. No guilty plea, 20 years to life. There is NO excuse for this kind of shooting. NONE.
