The four morons whose Saturday night deer-hunting escapade resulted in the death of a Cherryville resident wrote their own chapter on breaking the law.
They were shooting at deer out of season. They were hunting at night. They were in a public right of way. They were shooting from a car.
The driver was drinking, shooting and driving.
All of the above are against the law in North Carolina.
Depending on the neighborhood, firing a weapon and creating a disturbance might be other infractions.
When homeowner Ricky Woodall Jr. came out of his house to see what was going on, the foursome apparently took off.
The driver, William Adam Payseur, lost control of the car and hit Woodall, who was in his front yard. Woodall died Monday.
Payseur has been charged with felony hit and run and driving while impaired.
Prosecutors should consider negligent homicide and charge Payseur's buddies as accessories.
Their reckless actions show flagrant disregard for the law and the public safety.
A man is dead because of their drunken lark.
These guys should pay, and pay dearly. This irresponsible conduct cannot be tolerated.
Mistakes cloud warming issue
The litany of mistakes and data manipulation to justify, or oppose, the concept of global warming is growing.
People who try to be responsible stewards of the environment thought they had the truth. Opposing sides believed facts supported their cases for, or against, climate change.
Now, the details are murky and the leading proponent for acting to curb climate change — the United Nations — has a tarnished reputation and diminished public confidence.
Errors and rigged experiments demote proof to speculation.
We must determine the facts on climate change or the efforts of good people, a plethora of regulations and massive spending forced by those regulations may be for nothing.
We need the truth.
