"a boatload of time."

Unfortunately, that's the best we can hope for.

[BykrBayb]

And he admits in his confession (to) chasing down one of these guys and shooting him in the back

Shouldn't he get a bronze star or something for that? /sarcasm

"Tough court battle awaits hunter"



Thats an understatement if I ever heard one.

[Semper Paratus]

Watch for the "Hunting Rage" defense.

[Lee Heggy]

"Vang's attorneys have not said what legal strategy they might use to defend their client, except to say they'll investigate all options."

UH, Didn't know it was loaded.

UH, I was showing it to them and it went off.

UH, I was cleaning it and it went off.

Hang the sob.

[sgtbono2002]

No death penalty in Wisconsin, too bad, Clint Eastwood made a movie about whant this guy should get, It was called " Hang em High".

[mysto]

There is no death penalty in Wisconsin.
Too bad they can't extradite him down here to Texas for trial... we'd take REAL GOOD care of him...

[newgeezer]

Shouldn't he get a bronze star or something for that?

Probably not; the victim was neither nekkid nor a teenager.

[PjhCPA]

It was called " Hang em High".

I think that's what the authorities were afraid, because his "court" appearance yesterday was in the basement of the jail rather across the street in the court house.

[HaveGunWillTravel]

The gun made him do it.

[BykrBayb]

What if the guy runs for Senate? Wouldn't that qualify him for a pile of awards?

[newgeezer]

Well, fortunately for him, there are no Swift Boat Vets to spoil his story. He just might make it all the way into the White House.

[BykrBayb]

The government made him do it. You just don't realize what monsters we've created; teaching men to kill, and giving them hunting licenses to do it. (Oh, where's that kerry Senate testimony, so I can paraphrase?)

[E. Pluribus Unum]

No mention of the hunter who was killed a couple of years ago a few dozen miles away in a similar manner, where witnesses reported seeing a gray pickup carrying three asian men, same as here.

That pretty much takes it out of the realm of self-defense.

[buffyt]

Only if he later runs for president, and trashes our military. Then he should get medals, but he should throw them over the White House fence of course. </sarcasm>

[BykrBayb]

True. And we can probably back up this guy's version of events by interviewing some of the deer who were shot at by these evil hunters.

[BykrBayb]

Naturally. I think we can all agree on that.

[Lee Heggy]

'Our client intends to sue the manufacturer of this mislabled weapon. It was only supposed to shoot deer.'
