The hunt for politeness progresses.
A woman has been killed in a hunting accident on the first day of deer season in Maine.
Karen Wrentzel, 34, was shot dead around 10.30am on Saturday morning in a heavily wooded area near Hebron, Maine, in the first hunting fatality the state has seen in four years.
Family members said that Wrentzel was on her own property digging for rocks and gems when the incident occurred.
The story goes on to say that the property was not “posted” and that she wasn’t wearing “blaze orange.” It implies (unitentionally, I believe) that it was her own damn fault for looking like a furry severeal-hundred-pound four-legged animal in the eyes of the shooter, who is held to a lower standard because he has a hunting license.
