Thanks reanna74,

That gives some further insight into what exactly happened up there. Are the immigrants coming directly from Laos? And were they already living somewhere in Wisconsin?

I can understand your having problems with dealing with the transplanting of immigrants to your area. We live in area that during the summer months. Our town is overrun with migrant workers who drift from small town to small town in search of work. We have several orchards where they do find the summer work they desire. We almost feel over run during the summer months. Kind of misplaced in our own town. Most of this is due the language barriers. But I digress...

It is sad that your town is taking on a little more than it can chew. It seems that this is the American way. You see more and more people taking advantage of the "system". Almost to the point of abusing it.

This guy could have been experiencing some of the language issues you speak of. And maybe he felt threatened because of this? Who knows?

I had heard or read that he was already out of the stand and walking away. Then turned around and started firing.

No matter what the reason. It is tragic that so many people lost their lives.
