Were the hunters infected?

In the beginnig when they killed that guy running away from them, it seemed as if they killed the guy in cold blood. First, anyone who was infected never said anything. The hunters were lauging and having a conversation right after shooting their vicitm. That's a signal to the viewers alerting them that they weren't infected (at least at that point in the movie). Second, they one of them was able to drivef the truck. Those who were infected were never shown to be able to do a complex task other than kill someone. Driving a truck would seem to difficult to do to an infected person.

Did you watch the ending and see their faces???

Yes, they were infected.

Otherwise why would they want to kill David and Judy? Wouldn't you think they would want other sane people to team up with...

umm, the OP isn't referring to the ending at the truck stop. he is asking about the scene where the hunters kill the man in the main street.

it would seem that they were indeed infected at that time and yes they did kill someone that wasn't. i don't think a Crazy would run away from a non-Crazy.

First, anyone who was infected never said anything.

Do you remeber when the Sheriff gets attacked in his home? The infected lady says, "That's the gun that killed your father."

Which was actually a goof since that wasn't the same gun he used in the beginning. xD

Don't you hate it when a signature looks like part of the post?

I think the infected showed their craziness in different ways (probably based on how they were naturally, but their "crazy" side just showing a million times more than it ever would). For example, there was the guy just laughing in the room where they were all strapped to the tables, vs the guy that went around sticking people with pitchforks, and so on. Many of the crazies were probably not violent (like the lady riding her bike down the street, the other lady asking "is dave home" over and over again)- then you have guys like the hunters (who were obviously already hunters to begin with) and that part of their nature simply got transferred to them hunting humans (hanging them in the meat locker/throwing them in the back of the truck like they were deer- now humans were their most dangerous game). Those kids were content to just be banging on the trashcans lol. In my opinion, like I'm trying to illustrate, the infection doesn't just make them all zombie-like identical clones just hell bent on violence through whatever means- they all had the violent or crazy part of their personality (however deeply hidden) exploited to it's maximum potential without regard.

It won't give up, it wants me dead-God damn this noise inside my head...

They were. In the comic it shows you how they started piling bodies onto the truck about the time their infection came into full swing. When they shoot that guy they throw his body onto the back of the truck full of corpses.

It took a totally of 48 hours for the full infection. Remember his deputy was coming down with it and started getting very violent. The man that set his house(with wife and son inside) on fire was whistling a song. They could still talk and had control of certain functions. The Hunters if you remember were illegal hunting at the time. So the sign that they had lost it was when they started hunting humans.
