use some logic
You have someone trespassing on your property. A group of people goes out to confront the guy and ask him to leave. Now, if they were looking for a gunfight, they would have brought more guns. And when the were there, if they felt threatened, they would have retreated or at least taken cover before firing a shot...warning or otherwise, because the guy had the drop on them from an elevated position.
Based on logic and common sense, there is no doubt in my mind that the asshole in the tree fired first and then that the others fired back with their one rifle when attacked.
Do I think that there was a warning shot fired? of course not! these are hunters, they know that warning shots are only fired in movies. The whole warning shot thing is a red herring and pure speculation.
If a group of hunters was really looking for a gunfight, don't you think they would have brought more guns? They got massacred. 8 people showed up, 8 people got shot and 6 got killed. That's some pretty damned good shooting if he was under fire. the whole time.
Let me ask you this. Once he killed the guy with the one rifle, do you think he was justified in killing the others?
I'm sure we will have the Chai Vang defense fund set up here on SI before too long. I'm sure y'all will elevate him to the status of "victim of hate crimes" and "animal rights advocate" real soon.
But really, he and the hunters aren't what this is about, it is about some silly twit making an indefensible statement and a bunch of mental masturbators trying to defend that statement.
that's all |
