Some guy from Minnesota named Chai Vang, ostensibly out hunting with an SKS (a cheap Chinese-made 7.65mm semiautomatic rifle), trespassed on someone's lease in Wisconsin and climbed into a tree stand. When the hunters who belonged on the lease tried to get him to leave, he shot them. Killed five, wounded three.
(Frankly, I am amazed that even CNN called the SKS a "common hunting weapon" instead of an "assault rifle." I suspect that they'll start mentioning that later on, so they can establish a link between hunters and assault rifles.)
Will justice be served on Chai Vang? Wisconsin abolished their death penalty in 1858, so the answer is probably no.
Speaking of the death penalty, did anyone else notice that Sri Lanka just lifted a 28-year moratorium on their death penalty? Seems that a high court justice was murdered.
Yep, that death penalty is no good for folks who murder commoners, but let the ruling elites feel the heat, and all of a sudden capital punishment is a great idea. I'd lay odds that, if some important political figure were to be assassinated in Wisconsin, we would see their death penalty come back to life, pronto.
