Let me guess. One of the hunters threw a cup of beer in his face.
Truly stunning. And I'm not joking.
Nail the murderous SOB, LEOs!
Guy is a psycho. Hopefully "is" will soon be "was".
Does WI have the death penalty?
Chai Soua Vang, 36, of St. Paul, Minn., who is suspected of shooting eight hunters Sunday, is 5-foot-4-inches, according to a court document. Vang has owned a 1987 Nissan pickup, according to an online search service. According to court records, Vang allegedly shot several of Sunday's victims in the back.
All I can say is wow.
Forget morons like Scott Peterson and Hacking. This is one murder investigation and trial I'll be following. Promises to be a racially tinged circus.

His family are insisting the hunters must have been at fault, the media chanting "assault weapon, assault weapon", the left in general says our society did it...the reaction is as sickening and sensless as the crimes.
This guy is a cold blooded murderer. If it's true that he shot some of them in the back he should be hanging already.
Hey, Violence Policy Center, Soros, Brady Bunch, et al., don't forget to blame the gun.

I wonder where he went in 2002 and 2003.
bump for later
Bet he and his friends got their non-residnt liscenses at the same time and place. A check of tags issued before and after his will lead to the two other 'persons of interest.' IMO
Judging by some of the previous threats this poor guy should be released and the surviving two victims charged with hate crimes. It is just sick how some are trying to blame the victim here.

Deer hunt has deadliest start in years
By Ed Hoskins of the Tribune Staff
The opening days of Wisconsin's gun-deer hunt season were the worst for hunting accidents in more than a decade, the state Department of Natural Resources said Monday.
At least four hunters were killed in accidental shootings - three of them in western Wisconsin - and two men died in other hunting-related incidents. It was the most deaths for the season since 1988.
"It's been a real poor start to the season and I don't know what to attribute it to," said Tom Bokelman, DNR safety warden for the west central region in Eau Claire. "It's just sheer bad luck that the accidents are as severe as this."
Six fatalities were reported, four as a result of accidental shootings in Vernon, Trempealeau, Buffalo and Adams counties, one from a fall from a tree stand in West Salem and one from natural causes in Waupaca County, authorities said.
The La Crosse County Sheriff's Department identified 38-year-old Alan D. Taylor, of West Salem, as Saturday's tree stand fatality. A cause of death will be determined after an autopsy, investigators said.
"He was in the tree stand by himself," Capt. Mike Horstman said. "His brother and father radioed for assistance with a downed deer and he didn't show up. They found him unresponsive at the foot of the tree."
In Buffalo County, a man died Sunday after being shot in the chest by another hunter during a deer drive near Fountain City, Bokelman said. The man was not identified Monday pending notification of relatives, Buffalo County authorities said.
In Trempealeau County, Ryan D. Huiss, 21, of Onalaska, was accidentally shot in the head by his 14-year-old brother Saturday while they were trailing a wounded deer in the town of Ettrick.
In Vernon County, Rick Shore, 56, of rural De Soto, died Saturday after apparently shooting himself while hunting west of Red Mound.
In Adams County, Wayne Blodgett, 76, of Hartford, was killed Saturday by a stray bullet, authorities said.
Though Bokelman did not know the reasons for the fatalities, he said there are three basic rules to helping avoid hunting accidents. Treat every gun as if it is loaded, always point the muzzle in a safe direction and be sure of a target and what is beyond the target.
"If those three rules were followed precisely, we'd eliminate 99 percent of accidents," Bokelman said.
The hunting rifle Southworth was carrying - a Ruger model 77 bolt action .03-06-caliber - was missing.
I wonder if when they search Vang's house they find a Ruger rifle.

this is a bad story getting worse.
