What bothers me most is the complete lack of remorse by him or his creepy family.

I think your state law even has rules for an express lane to "Old Smoky" on the books for crimes like this. Too bad Wisconsin isn't so enlightened.
Nope it ain't over. Now every bleeding heart red dopier diaper baby lawyer will come out from under the rocks they hide under filling endless appeals. So will all of the Silly-Sheehappless protesters screaming racism both on and off college campuses.
There that's better

I believe they did. They admitted that Robert got hostile but did not use racial labels. They were questioned during the trila about the labels "mud duck" and "tree rat" (IIRC). They said "mud duck" was term for Minnesota hunters in Wisconsin, "tree rat" was for one hunter using another hunter's perch without permission.
You are right! they have been extremely quiet on this-
My wife is a probation officer -spousal abuse is rampant in
various immigrant communities- they are treated different-
given lighter sentences (no felonies on record) and this
guy should have been on probation for "waving a pistol" at
his wife (plus he had other trespassing violations)-
I think he got pissed when the land owners took down his
license number- he would probably have been fined and
possibly had future hunting privs revoked.
the # 1 chilling statement:when Vang returned to the initial
wiped out hunting party.. encountered the wounded Willers..
and said" what -your not dead? " then opened fire a second
time - willers got off 1 shot and vang ran away.
Imagine if it was the other way around - a white hunter gunning down 8 Asians. Every Lieberal maroon in the western world would be howling for Federal charges to be brought.
Vang should be charged and prosecuted under Federal civil rights law. But he won't.
If ever there was a "hate" crime, listening to the crap spewing from the mouths of his family members convinces me that this is one.
Perfect observation.
Imagine what would have happened if he had done it in the name of God.
OH, NO....NOT THAT!
They most certainly have some forensic evidence now that they didn't have before.

I doubt that this was racial on the part of the hunters.
This guy is a murderer and got what he deserved by killing all of those people.
The single biggest argument against vang is the fact he shot them in the back as they fled.
Standing a tree stand he was as vulerable as he would ever be. If one of them wanted him dead he'd be dead. They apparently didn't. They apparently were in hasty retreat.
They were apparently hunted down and killed.
Now Vang will have a life in the big house. One can only regret we don't still hang people.
I mean "conscience" in a broader sense, more like someone is watching and making a list of the good and bad things that you do (Santa?). Probably more like Karma then any active voice giving guidance, I know this POS has no inherent sense of right & wrong. I just have to hope that someone is keeping score on this bad apple.

Yes, and I'm sure Wisconsin prisons have a lot of big, mean white guys who know all about what Vang did, and are waiting for him. But due process of law is better. If you want to execute a man, pass the right laws and sentence him to death in open court, where the process can be examined. To do otherwise, however satisfying (and I can't pretend not to have mixed feelings re: Vang's probable fate), compromises the rule of law and puts us on a dangerous, slipperly slope. What if liberals started removing dissent by falsely accusing conservatives of relatively minor crimes, and then setting them up to get killed in jail? If not in the name of justice, then just for the sake of our own necks, we shouldn't go there.
As for Dahmer... it's reported that he converted to Christianity before his death. (I won't get into the connection between cannibalism and transubstantion except to reverently hope that he finally found for real in Christ, what he wrongly and vainly sought through his crimes.) Of course religion isn't a get-out-of-jail-free card, nor should it be, but perhaps he might have done some good behind bars if he'd been allowed to live out his sentence.
Glad that you posted this.
You are correct, but I am not sure that when you mentioned liberals setting conservatives up, that this is not already happening.
