A man snapped. A guy whose day of sentencing is the "Happiest day of his life because he would no longer have to deal with child support and mortgage payments" is not a sane man.

I have no idea what you're talking about- no amount of verbal racism justifies 6 murders, and 3 attempted murders. No amount of racial slurs justifies shooting three men in the back, one after he ran over 700 yards. That's almost half a fucking mile, running away from a guy who opened fire on a group that had one gun amongst them. After the guy reversed his vest to its camo, and took off the scope. Also, see above. The man rejoiced at his sentencing because he was freed from child support and house payments. Over the murders of 6 and attempted murders of 3 people. In total cold blood.
Most importantly, this isn't one of those cases where we get to sit and give our ham-handed $0.02, the case is already decided. He'll rot in jail for being a cold-blooded murderer. All notions of monday-morning-quarterbacking the judge and jury's decisons are moot, at best.

I believe the other 2 "witnesses" are lying. But who knows? None of us do so we can't really say can we? But it is apparent, our own latent racial prejudices have crept up in this thread.

There's nothing to support that theory, i'm curious why you would think that. This plays well into a sociological phenomena I like to call "delusions of normality". There are a lot of people who absolutely refuse to believe that people can simply snap. That a person can all at once just go totally apeshit and gun down 9 people in cold blood. Yeah, it happens. They support their refusal to believe with totally baseless theories they yank out of thin air. The bottom line is this- he went crazy. He lost control. He's a nut. Find me anything that points to the hunters being liars, and i'll go from there. As it is, the guy said they were all armed, but only one gun was found. So, gee, who is lying? OH, it's the guy who shot 9 people and killed 6 of them. Surprise, surprise.
One thing I'll say is, you're right- if this were a white guy, we wouldn't be having this discussion, we'd be talking about how hunting makes people more violent, people with guns are always quick to use them, gun control, and bullshit like that. Guarantee it.
