imho this is a thread that doesnt belong here. its gonna cause a lot of heat that isnt needed at a neutral place like this. I myself am hmong. and im proud to be hmong. as far as im concerned, only god and those involved will know the truth about what happened in the woods that day. my first reaction was like many of yours. but the more i thought about it the more i remembered that the media does blow things up to attract attention. thats their job. if you've ever faced racism, you'd look at this issue a little differently. i lived with it all my life. most times i brush it off. then there were a few when i didnt let it slide so easily. and to clarify what someone already mentioned, vang is a popular last name. the hmong people only have a small number of last names. i think 15 or less. vang being one of the biggest. what gets me fired up is when i hear about other hmong people getting threatened cuz this one guy did what he did. personally, if someone threatened me or my loved ones, they'd better be ready to take it to the limit. death or whatever it'd be. and for those that dont know what the heck the hmong are doing in the US. the hmong people were recruited by the US government as a secret army during the vietnam war. before agreeing to fight alongside the US, the US agreed that IF the outcome of the war isn't what was planned, the US would take the hmong to america. and that was what happened. i just wanted to state my opinion. if anyone wants to pm me thats fine. but just remember that im coming from a neutral point of view.
