Hunting...Incident
This is just the most horrible news.
Let's see: Guy goes hunting and squats in treestand belonging to unknown others (a hunting faux pas). These other people, owners of said tree stand, come upon squator and confrontation ensues. Squator shoots confronters who lie bleeding/dying but manage to radio back to base camp an alert. More buddies of the victims rally to their friends in need. Squator kills them too. In total, 5 people died and three more were injured and remain hospitalized. Some of the individuals were shot multiple times. A teenage boy and a woman were among the casualities.
This is not a hunting accident. This was a mass murder of hunters that happened in the woods. The whole thing is both sad and frightening. The worst of it is, the media is making much of this and calling the bad guy's weapon "an assault weapon". Apparently you can hunt fairy-tale deer in the Wisconsin Wild with wishes and tissues. And, just because the terminology has always bothered me...can someone please inform me which weapons are not "assault weapons"? I mean, didn't David assault Goliath, didn't that Tiger assault that guy in Vegas, can't one be assaulted physically with a flashlight? The terminology is stupid!
I'm really sorry that this horrible thing happened.
