Army Intelligence planted a freind of mine with a Hmong tribe for a year. His job was to buy enemy weapons. Every weapon was a dead VC. He had to become a tribe member by dancing around a huge monkey tied to a wood chair with it's skull removed and eating parts of it's brain while it was screaming. Great hunters of man and beast and a primitive people. This guy came from another world. He was supposedly run off from the area the week before so I am betting on revenge and murder of the coldest sort. What we did in Nam ain't no excuse and he needs to get the max. Who cares if the owners taunted him with racial slurs, that is not a capitol crime. When I lived in Seattle a bunch of Cambodians settled there and ate every illegal fish, crab and dog they could catch. Here I have an employee who poached two deer and got caught but that is OK in Mexico. Point is that it takes a couple of generations to adjust to a new culture and this incident has nothing to do with hunting or gun laws. It is murder and immigration pure and simple.
