The crime rocked the northwoods, and not just because of its shocking nature - four of the victims were shot in the back and all but one were unarmed, according to testimony.

Didn't surprise me one bit. Sad day for the Hmong community in that for every positive step we take, there's always some negativity to bring us back. Hopefully everybody can learn from this.

Definitely no surprise here, except I am surprised at the reaction of everyone here. ATOT has always been huge fans of vigilante justice and standing up for yourself. When one user posted about how he (nearly?) killed a thief, you all cheered. You thought it was great, even though the thief was exiting the premises and appeared to have no visible weapons or posed any threat. Simply calling the cops was not enough. Take the law into your hands, you all said. Yeah!
Every account of this case has included the survivors testifying that the suspect apologized and was EXITING the area peacefully. But that was not enough. Racial slurs and assault (touched him to grab his hunting license) followed. At least one of them had a gun. Then they called ATV's (loud and menacing in the otherwise quiet woods) to come in. For what? 2-3 big white hunters was not enough? Let's call in the Klan?
After all this and you'd expect them NOT to get shot? Did you expect thim to turn around and get on his knees for some Hmong and Whitey love fest?
Who shot first? They said they never fired a shot. He thought they did. But who cares right? Should he have waited til he was further assaulted before retaliating? He felt endangered for his life by a bunch of bullies. Maybe next time they'll think twice when someone apologizes and was peacefully leaving.
He certainly deserves to go to jail, but don't tell me you don't see how it could have happened.

Anyone who were ever a victim of racism would have seen this quite differently, an all white jury did not help his case one bit.

Suffering from racism does not allow someone to commit murder.

In some cases it does. Its called self defense. In many cases where racism is being comitted the victim is killed.

Nice way to spin that one. He was quiet clearly talking about verbal racism, so of course you bring up violent assaults that involve racisim.
As far as I see it, its fairly simple. Guy got called racist terms (questionable), goes crazy, and kills 6 people. How can anyone claim that racist terms justify that?
