Vang found guilty on all counts in hunter killings (Wisconsin)

Once again, I don't give a hang about "Hmongs." Why do you?

I care about innocent Americans being murdered in cold blood. Why don't you?

[AnAmericanMother]

AS I SAID < ahem >, I was simply answering a question posed by another poster, as to why this defendant's friends and relations weren't saying much. They're ASHAMED, that's why, and they should be ashamed, as any decent person would be if a family member turned out to be a cold blooded murderer.

And don't jump to conclusions -- you are just about as wrong as you could possibly be about my viewpoint. I care more than you know about murder victims . . . and I would wager I have done considerably more than you have to put their assailants away. Unless you've been a prosecutor for, oh, 20 years or so.

[OldFriend]

Even today there was a freeper trying to excuse the murders.

[omega4412]

...who thought that a mostly-women Madison jury was going to let the guy off.

I wonder what percentage of the Madison jury pool would have been willing to convict him for murder for killing a deer.

[no dems]

I watched a little (about 15 minutes) of the trial on Court TV today. I wonder how many of the Blue State, Wisconsin liberals are happy today that their state does NOT have the death penalty and this guy, who shot in the back and killed 6 unarmed people, will watch TV, be clothed, fed and given medical treatment in prison, at the expense of us taxpayers, for the rest of his life.

[theDentist]

Well, I haven't paid close attention, but if the DP is on the table and is the sentence, there'll be a loooooooong wait for that.

[Heyworth]

Hey, even tree huggers don't want to get shot when they go for a walk in the woods.

[Heyworth]

will watch TV, be clothed, fed and given medical treatment in prison, at the expense of us taxpayers, for the rest of his life.

Yeah, well that's what they said about Dahmer, too, and look how that turned out. This guy's gonna have NO friends in prison.

[SpringheelJack]

I was simply commenting that the reason his community is quiet is probably because they are ashamed of him.

I doubt that. I don't feel "ashamed" when some white guy goes on a killing spree, because it has nothing to do with me. Most of them probably just don't give a rip about him, nor should they.

[WIladyconservative]

I've been watching this case for almost a year now and EVERY time I hear his name I think Chai Vang Latte (like Chai Tea Latte). . . .Glad I won't be hearing his name much longer in our local news.

[SpringheelJack]

Wonder how this will change the "etiquette" in the woods? For one thing I've seen and heard of many landowners going ballistic when they find anyone else on their land. I've personally seen owners demand cash to keep from calling the authorities to report trespassing. A little politeness on both sides can go a long way

It's best to lay off that sort of extreme behavior in general. Demanding cash in exchange for not calling the cops could get you stuck in some legal problems.

[Carilisa]

Bump to that.

[Delta Dawn]

Not sure about etiquette, but it is wise not to confront armed individuals in a woodland setting. If you do not know the person that you have come across, it is best to leave the scene and notify the authorities.
Wildlife officers carry handguns for a reason. Let them do their job.

[Brad’s Gramma]

I saw! And, I'm VERY happy with the verdict.

Thanks for pinging me..!!

[La Enchiladita]

Your "viewpoint" speaks for itself.

[no dems]

True. That thought did cross my mind.

[Last Dakotan]

Demanding cash in exchange for not calling the cops could get you stuck in some legal problems.

You haven't been hunting South Dakota where every damn farmer is using his Federally funded CRP land for a fee paid hunting preserve.

[Kozak]

Yeah, well if they had found him not guilty it would have been very revolting indeed. Too bad Wisconsin doesn't have a death sentence. This guy is the poster child for it.

[ridesthemiles]

This is a sad case. If they jury had found him not guilty, the Anglo population would revolt. Now, we wait to see the reaction of the Hmong community. I know quite a few and they have been curiously quiet about this case.""

Is there any possibility that they are sorely embarrassed over his actions?

Mid-Wisconsin brought many Hmong over years ago to give them a new start and it hasn't proven to have been the best idea since bratwurst cooked in beer and beerbattered deep fired onion rings, believe me.
