I just saw that the Hmong man that killed 6 Wisconson deer hunters last year was convicted of 6 counts of first degree murders.They have no death penalty. :cursing:

Convicted and they still dont know who fired first.
I think there will a be a retrial.
The jury didnt sport any minorities and since this entire case seems to be racially motivated I think someone messed up.

According to the article-5 of the 6 were unarmed and 4 of the 6 were shot in the back.How would a minority see it any different?

I feel the same way. First of all, he wasn't shot. Im sure it could have been handled in a civil way. But to kill 6 hunters, shooting them while they were either not looking or running away, thats cowardice, and he needs to fry no matter what his race is. You cant just go around killing people and play the race card and get away with it.

Living in MN and only a few hundred miles from where it happened, they've had lots on this trial in the newspaper and tv. Vang WAS shot at, and the man was throwing the F bomb at him constantly...

His reaction was completely wrong, and he had a guilty verdict coming. To kill unarmed men and shoot them in the back is cowardish to say the least and to play the race card only made things worse. Hopefully all people will learn from this whole situation. Maybe a little more respect and kindness from all parties involved may have produced a different outcome without the needless loss of life.
