More information or A gunfight It appears that Chai Vang is not the only source for the information that it was a gunfight. In this article it is clear that <<The report filed by Gillis also included statements from the survivors among the hunting party who made no mention that any of them shot at him first, or that they hurled insults at him, though it does indicate that they returned fire at some points during the bloodbath.>> Last night there were at least eight SI members who called Chai Vang a "murderer", a "mass murderer" and "cold blooded murderer". At the end of the day, they may be right but the scenario that is developing does very little credit to us hairless mammals in general and lynchmobs make us all look bad. I would like to see any of those people who have already decided he is guilty deal with this new scenario without making excuses. Gloop actually mentioned a warning shot, does anyone think that might have happened ? Do all the SI members who have decided Chai Vang is guilty agree that "warning shots" are no provocation to killing people ? The survivors own testimony indicate that there were multiple shots fired at Vang, was thier some point in this confrontation Vang should have stopped shooting ? abs-cbnnews.com In your official capacity as an SI Poet which scenario seems more likely to you, the hypothetical I sketched out last night which is now being borne out in assertions or the senseless murderous slaying of fellow humans over property.
