Pass The Ammo

Some folks just need to die. Thats a fact that most people cannot accept, but it is true. Some folks are just rotten to the core, they have no concern for life, and they just need to be cut out like a cancer.

This is Vang. He came over here from the country of Laos to take advantage of all the wonderful freedoms we have here as Americans. Which includes deer hunting. But turns out he took his freedoms a little too liberally when he decided to trespass and use a private tree stand. When confronted by the land owner and his buddies, and their children, and their wife, Vang doesn’t like it, and decides to chase them all down and shoot them in the back, completely indiscriminate of the women or the 20 year old. And that was a run on sentence. But I’m too mad to care.

Here’s the sum of it.

HAYWARD, Wis. — The man suspected of killing six people in the woods of northwest Wisconsin told authorities that he opened fire after a group of hunters taunted him with racial slurs and shot at him. He continued firing as they scattered, he said, chasing them down even as they begged for help

Here’s a winner.

As he ran back toward the tree stand, Vang noticed that one of the men who first confronted him was still standing. “You’re not dead yet?” Vang yelled. And fired at him. Then he ran on.

When he was arrested a short while later, his semiautomatic rifle was out of bullets. His demeanor, officials said, was completely calm.

Think Vang was a little shook up? Not at all. He knew very well what he was doing. He pretty much executed them in a calm a mannerly fashion.

And here’s the main event.

He shot the man who had pointed the gun at him. The man dropped. The other hunters ran toward their all-terrain vehicles. Vang kept shooting. More men fell. He chased those still standing, shooting one in the back. He heard the man groan. He walked past the body.

As the hunters’ friends — alerted by walkie-talkie — drove up on two more ATVs, Vang took off his blaze-orange coat and turned it inside out, so the camouflage pattern showed. He reloaded. One of the ATVs whipped past, a man steering with one hand and holding out a gun with the other. Vang shot him and the young woman sitting behind him.

Now, I do understand that the number one rule of gun saftey is “Don’t piss of someone with a gun”. But to chase down a 20 year old kid and shoot him in the back, to shoot at a fleeing woman, and to say “You’re not dead yet??” while shooting at another… just crosses the line.

But still…. not all of the news is in yet, so we don’t really know what happened. We’ll wait and see.

Could Vang have been involved in another back shooting in 2001?
