Steve Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Lets assume he was called a racial slur. Is that enough to shoot and kill the people who said it? If he truly feared for his life, which I am not sure I see in the limited evidence so far, then he had a case. Its an unfortunate event nevertheless. I hope it doesn't taint hunting, which I'm some would expand the case to be an indictment of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwoww Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 This got discussed a lot before... http://board.nanaplaza.com//showflat.php?Cat=&Number=371807&page=&view=&sb=5&o=&fpart=1&vc=1 I would say he, or his lawyer, chose a poor defense. Being called names isn't enough. He should have tried to show they shot at him first....if they did. Now I see he did try to show he was shot at but the jury didn't buy it. I think I should shut up.

sayjann Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 as in most trials things were probably not said by both sides. the Man himself would have said he was shot at and the survivors would have told a different story. the Jury just has to decide who they believe. but Trials which involve People of different Races always worry me. too many times (like in this case i think) a 'Foreigner' tried by a Jury of locals will probably be found guilty. i wonder what would happen if a Black Man was judged by 12 other Blacks,or if in this case he was tried by 12 migrant Thais.

Guest Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Afraid for his life? My understanding is he systematically hunted down a half dozen armed hunters. Myself, I have never believed that murder is always wrong, but that's extreme even for me. Too bad Wisconsin does not seem to have the death penalty.
