Walking Garbage

I just heard a snippet of an interview with the three sorry excuses for men who had posted a video of themselves laughing it up while they killed simply for the pleasure of it. Said one of the Fraser brothers, "Why did we do it? Cause we thought it was fun." He was trying to explain away their killing of ducks and grebes to the interviewers outside Saskatchewan provincial court after he and his two friends pleaded guilty to several federal and provincial wildlife charges.
David Fraser, James Fraser and Jeremy Rowlands all appear on their video which they had posted on YouTube, firing 42 rifle shots into a large pond filled with ducks and grebes, from inside their car. These lazy-assed pieces of walking garbage couldn't even extend the energy needed to get out of their vehicle before they started the slaughter. They called their video "duck hunting" but slaughter would have been a much more accurate word, especially since moulting season meant many of their victims had no recourse to flight, the one defense they might otherwise have had. The video soundtrack captures the three bringers of death and destruction cheering, laughing and exclaiming excitedly over the blood being spilled while the poor birds struggled. "Did you get the baby?" asks one, while another calls it a "massacre."
What the three were doing can not even be excused by given the title of hunting since they killed and then drove away, not bothering to retrieve any of the kill. In fact, Darrell Crabbe of the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation said even hunters were outraged by the case. No, the two Fraser brothers and their friend Rowlands killed simply because they enjoy killing. That's quite a character trait to possess.
In the snippet I heard, Fraser protests that they didn't know they had broken any laws and that they took down the video as soon as they found out otherwise. He tries to make it sound as though the video was taken down out of some kind of respect for the law. Bullshit. You know bloody well they took it down only because they were hoping to escape being found and made to accept responsibility for their vicious actions. Rowlands, apparently, refused to speak with reporters and said little in court, telling Judge Doug Agnew, "We should have known better but we didn't, and for that I am sorry." Read that to mean, "We should have known we would be caught and for that I am sorry." Someone who can laugh at blood spreading out over the pond because of his own cowardly, criminal actions is not someone who finds a conscience over night. "In large part, you are what you do . . . That's you on that video. That is part of who you are, now and forever." Judge Agnew told the three, and right he is.
Fraser and his equally guilty cronies are all a detriment to society. They have shown themselves to be the type who enjoy preying on those weaker than themselves. What a shame the ducks on the pond that day couldn't have somehow produced an Uzi or two with which to return the fire. I wonder if the three killers would have continued to laugh then?

Footnote: I was asked if I knew the sentence passed on the three duck killers. Here are the details.
The three all entered a guilty plea to unlawful hunting; hunting out of season; firing a gun from a vehicle, and leaving edible game to be wasted. All firearms involved were seized by the Crown, as well as the camera the sick trio used to videotape their deed. The three will not be allowed to apply for a hunting permit in Canada for a year and are not allowed to apply in Saskatchewan for three years. The judge fined Jeremy Rowlands $6,000 while David and James Fraser were each fined $5,000. Since none of the three are employed, they will be applying for community service time to "pay" their fines.
