This stuff depresses me, but there's black on black and black on white and white on black or any combination of Hispanic, Jamaican, ME, etc. crime every d@mn day in Milwaukee which never gets this kind of coverage. Evil, reckless people come in all colors and stripes.
The papers are only springboarding off the Chai Vang murders of year before last, sympathetic to poachers and illegals or illegal gun owners as usual, while taking their swipes at honest, legal gun-owning, licensed hunters. Oh, those EVIL, EVIL guns! Look for more gun-grabbin' in this second term (which I prefer to think of as a "sentence" for Wisconsin Taxpayers) of Doyle & Crew. *Rolleyes*
Sells papers, I guess. *SHRUG*
A friend of ours left S. Dakota (Hormel) and took a job in Milwaukee (a cop) hoping to get away from the Mexican problems. Big mistake they claim.
I think the thing that makes this story more notable, outside of Milwaukee's daily murder roll, is that someone was likely innocent. It was either a straight up shooting of a hunter or a case of self-defense. Although the hidden body raises ample doubt on the latter possibility.
I really try to avoid Milwaukee's gun crime stories, but it does seem that the vast majority involve drugs, night club fights, gang fights or any number of occupational hazards associated with the lifestyle of the shooters/victims. Bad folks shooting bad folks really doesn't have much larger context aside from macro factors.
That's why it's characterized as a racial incident.
