5. So if they were drunk they deserved what they got?
This is getting ridiculous. Every thread on this topic reverts to this "they-were-drunken-rednecks' speculation. Lets look at the facts.
1. It was Sunday at noon.
2. It was a "family camp", people from different generations, both men and women ( 2 of the victims were women) (this is instead of a "bachelors camp" which is a party situation, or a "hunter's" camp which is a serious hunting group)

This, to me, based on personal experience, is a situation that does not lend itself to drunken behavior. I have been in hunting camps all across Northern Wisconsin. Even chronic drunks like myself, and there were plenty of drinkers in the camps I hunted, people who were foolish enough even to drink and drive, knew that guns and alcohol dont mix and would not pick up a gun when intoxicated. It was an unwritten rule that would get you "uninvited" from a deer camp, especially the family camps.

the article title is right on it is a clash of cultures. and neither culture is understood.
