HUNTER GOES BERZERK IN WISCONSIN; AT LEAST FIVE DEAD

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.

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.

What you wrote in post 352 just shows me that you didn't even read my post. I made no mention of my grand mother.

As for your belief that my grand mother may go to hell. God has already decided where she is, as she passed away in 1966 after a long Christian life. My other grand mother passed away in 1955, also a Christian.

That decision was made without any input from you.

Again, I will tell you, My relationship to God is between God and me. I have no fear of hell because that's not where I am going and if you think all people who voted for John Kerry are going to hell you are seriously disturbed.

I voted for George Bush for a number of reasons but had he come off spouting like you do I would not have considered voting for him. He is a man of faith who feels no need to condemn others for their beliefs.

Do you sincerly believe that you are the only person on this forum to be worthy of God's love, compassion and understanding? If so, you are truly to be pitied.

With your attitude you are always going to get a lot of posts like mine and a few others who have responded to your exhausting diatribes. Get used to it because while most members here are kind and try to be understanding, they don't generally tolerate ravings very well.

My prayers to you and your loved ones.

I am white,and am not racist! I think maybe you are though by your last paragraph.

There you go with unsupported accusations.... again. Just because a person is a minority in his home state, has personally experienced antiwhite racism (verbal, violent, academic, and occupational), and has been so sensitized to it by these negative experiences that it's one of the first explanations one thinks of when a nonwhite shoots whites, does not make one a racist oneself.

I think only God knows the real reason behind that shooting but I do not assume as you do that the hunters were innocent.

Until further evidence turns up, I will continue in this assumption.

And I am not opposed to hunting whatsoever

Good.

...and I believe in the Second Amendment to the US Consitution.

Thou doest well. The liberals believe, and tremble.

Was the man protecting himself--I do not know and I doubt anyone else does either

He was, at a minimum, trespassing and poaching, and was TWICE warned to leave the property. The the reasonable presumption (rebuttable if other evidence turns up) is that he was probably the aggressor.

I am only saying that there are two sides to every story One of which is wrong and in this nation a person is not guilty until proven so in a Court of law

Yet you are assuming that the dead victims are likely guilty, with no evidence at all. Hmmm.

there is what is called "due process" for anyone accused of a capital crime

I wasn't advocating lynching and you know it.

I also know that many, many people in this nation who are accustomed to privilege and born to it, are prejudiced against any who is foreign born.

I sure wish I had privileges. Everything I have, either I or my parents had to work bitterly hard for. It's the immigrants that are getting privileges around here -- heck, 40% of the drivers on California highways aren't even licensed, while law-abiding citizen chumps like me obey the law and pay all our taxes and a fortune in insurance.

BTW, around here at least, "privilege" is a code word in the mouths of white haters (who falsely assume - or politically find it useful to pretend - that we're born rich and have no idea how hard we worked to get where we are).

whether the hunters did anything to startle the man causing flashbacks to a different era when the Americans had guns and were toting them in a different nation for harm to the citizens...

Wrong again. The Hmong were on OUR side. He had no reason to fear Americans in his homeland or have negative flashbacks about them now.

Could God have saved those hunters? In my understanding, YES, HE could have; therefore since HE didn't, I can only assume that HE had his reasons.

Could God have saved those 45 million aborted babies? Yes, He could have. The fact that He allowed it to happen doesn't take away from the wickedness of the people who decided to do it.

Back to the race thing for a parting shot: how would you react, and what assumptions would you make, if the races were reversed: Supppose a white hunter had massacred a group of Hmong? Think about that long and hard before you answer me; I suspect your conscience will chasten you.
