No one is putting blame on a gun. This is very tragic for both of the parties involved. All we are trying to say is that you shouldnt slander someone who you do not know and you do not know exactly what went on that night. Like we said before the only people who do know what EXACTLY happened is the only 2 people who were there....my papa and the other man. We too are very sorry and feel for youre family's loss. But just because a tragic thing happened does not mean that it wasnt an accident. But accidents do happen and as former law ennforcement you of all people should know that they happen a LOT when it comes to guns! Are you saying that if 2 kids,teenagers,adults,whoever it may be... are messing around with a gun or using one (hunting,safety,ect...) and it goes off ACCIDENTLY (WHICH DOES HAPPEN) and one of those people is dead that the other ment to do it?.....NO I dont think so. Why because guns do go off and accidents DO happen. All we are trying to say is that we KNOW are papa did NOT mean to shot that man and kill him. He is not a bad person....nor would he treat another persons life with that much disrespect/disregrad (as the prior gentleman had made it out to be). We are also not saying that he shoulnt pay for this mistake/accident, but this whole thing that it was murder and he literally walked up to him and just shot him with total disregard is such BS! End of story and that's are point. Just because you are hurting (which is TOTALLY understandable!) you shouldnt then turn on the other parties involved without knowing ALL the facts and what kind of person they are. Do we not know what the Bible is or GOD?

As a USARMY Weapons Specialist, I assume you mean you were a Small Arms Repairmen. And as such you of all people know that a weapon will not discharge (fire) without external input of some sort, either by means of the rearward motion of the trigger mechanism, the unintentional disengagement of the sear as can occur when the weapon is dropped or lastly when there is a situation called a hang-fire where as the hammer has fallen onto the primer of the round but the round failed to immediately fire but thus fired at a point in time later. Therefore to hide behind the phony belief that guns kill people and not people kill people with guns is cowardly. I am not aware of the intricate details of the shooting but none the less it was a shooting. The weapon was leveled at some point in the direction of the victom when it discharged, if we can as a whole agree on this first and then work through why, these cases would be cleared up much sooner. I think both families would appreciate if this was closed much sooner than later so all parties can move on.

William Lee was sentenced last friday. 6 years in prison for the life of a good, decent young family man. Hopefully the ignorant old hillbilly will die in the penitentary. Maybe his cell mate will make him his play-toy. We can only hope.

Well, the good news is that the scummier of the two is now dead. ATV riders deserve to die. I don't really give a damn whether you like that opinion or not.
