It's not the same guy. Why are you recklessly dragging the name of a dead man through the mud. The Robert Crotteau who robbed a bank is 26 years old now, the Robert Crotteau who was killed in cold blood by a trespassing animal was 42 years of age. Is it that hard to compare ages? Crotteau is a VERY common name in that area so do your research better before pinning this on some racist, rural, redneck sterotype which is unlikely to be true.
Wasn't my research -- it was the research of the poster of that thread. But point taken -- apparently not the same guy. However, we don't know the whole story yet, so we can't fairly reach a conclusion about whether the victims were "killed in cold blood", or whether there was a misinterpretation of actions leading to a tragically mistaken set of reactions, or whether the Hmong guy was an "animal". It seems a bit unlikely that the Hmong guy, who apparently has no significant criminal record, just up and shot 6 people because one of them politely asked him to leave their private property. I think there's probably more to the story.
Should the mods be asked to pull that thread then?
