At least it's not Cali this time...

I hope they stay on this story for more details.
I'd like to know what the hell was up with this guy,
and if he was even supposed to have a gun.
or If he's part of a terrorist org, or just .....WTF. :confused:
 
Some of these hunters can get a little crazy this time of year. I'm going to have to assume at this point that this guy thought he was where he was supposed to be. Other than that, it's all just a big wtf.
 
Radio up here is saying that he was caught using someone else's treestand, and when they yelled at him to get down, he emptied his gun on them.
 
Prof has the jist of it. I'm imagining this this guy as being an avid anti-hunter looking to "show them rednecks what sport is."
 
Nope he was an avid hunter .

But something tells me there a bit af racial tension there.
"It's pathetic. They let all these foreigners in here, and they walk all over everybody's property," said Jim Arneberg, owner of the Haugen Inn in nearby Haugen.

even though
Vang, who is married with six children, served in the U.S. Army and has lived in the United States for about 25 years, his brother said. He and their mother, who declined comment, were at the Sawyer County Jail to be with Vang.

25 years isn't long enough to understand basic private property rights?
 
This guy was lost and there are public tree stands available so he wouldn't have known it was private property until someone told him."How" they told him is what we may never truly know for sure.
 
Even if they said "HEY GOOK...this is our land so SCRAM", it'll never justify his actions.
 
Nope ,but you can bet his defense is going to say he felt his own life was in danger "out numbered ,racial slurs ,armed etc...".

Vang has no criminal record but was once arrested for threatening his wife with a gun.

Predisposed to violence.

Fox said:
Vang, who had a hunting license but not for Wisconsin, had wandered onto 400 acres of hunting grounds owned by Robert Crotteau after becoming lost. He eventually came upon an empty deer stand, which are used by hunters to better spot deer without being seen, and climbed into it, not knowing he was on private property, Meier said.

I've never seen a "public" tree stand. They may exist, I don't know.

The suspect was "chasing after them and killing them," Sawyer County Chief Deputy Tim Zeigle said. "He hunted them down is what he did."

The hunters were mostly in their cabin when the call for help came. Whether they are not soldiers or police or are just poorly trained, they, like most good city folk, came out of the house with their cell phone but not their guns.
 
When the two or three hunters spotted a man in their hunting platform in a tree, they radioed back to the rest of the party at a nearby cabin, and asked who should be there.

That still means there would have been 2-3 guns ?

Yeah...so where were the guns? Do you suggest that they were removed from the scene before police arrived? Perhaps they just went to verbally abuse the guy, and got capped for their trouble...a lot more believable than your suggestion, ab. ;)

Wasn't making any inference your just a might sensitive. :confused: The fact it was even mentioned by the reporter seemed odd to me ,if in fact I had read it correctly.I'm not a hunter ,so for all I know thus isn't unusual (a group of hunters sharing a gun) that why I asked for someone to explain it.
