bignick said:If he was leaving the situation and was fired upon and instead of fleeing started to return fire he is at least partly responsible...it's hard to justify homicide in self defense when you had an oppurtunity to leave.
On the same token, the hunters that supposedly fired upon him first would also be responsible...
time and the courts will determine the whole story...
If he runs, he's running from many people with long range rifles and hunting experience. Looks to me like he would die tired. I wondered what the deal was with this story from the beginning. One guy plugs that many armed hunters and they don't take him. Something is fishy. This new light seems to add a little bit more. I'd like to pose as the devil's advocate and propose,
After a few choice words from the miffed property owners who can't stand asians on thier land, Vang starts to leave. The "good ole boys" decide to have a little fun and take few shots at him to "make him dance a lil on his way out". He thinks they are trying to kill him and are just really bad shots (or he is blessed with luck). He knows if he runs from a large group of skilled hunters that are very familiar with the area and armed with high powered, long range rifles, he's just going to get picked off later. He dicides to take a chance at a face off. After he takes one out, he realizes that the rest aren't going to let him walk away standing or breathing, so he knows that he has to mop up.
Again I want to re-iterate that I am phrasing things harshly for effect and that I haven't formed a full opinion about this incident yet. I only seek to show the other side and to point out things aren't always as they seem. I know I've jumped to quite a few conclusions and been burned in the past.
