Part of the blame for Hmong immigration lies with the government. Remember, they helped us in the Vietnam War and now Uncle Sam is trying to make right. But government being government isn't doing a great job. They definitely need to help with the transition. Language, culture shock etc. I suspect there are problems with Cubans in Florida too. Remember when Castro sent all the criminals to us and we let them in cause they were Cuban?
Anyhoo, in this incident, the guy claims that he started to leave when they told him the tree he was in was private property. But they surrounded him and started shouting racial slurs etc and one of them fired at him. He says he fired back in self-defense. Also, he's been in the US for over 20 years and served in the Army Disgruntled Vet or self-defense? If this guy was white, would y'all be bothered as much?
You know, I'm disturbed by the whole thing regardless of who's right or wrong. I think it suck cause since I look Asian, some ignorant jerk is going to want to seek revenge on me for what he did. I didn't attack every white person when Timothy McVeigh blew up the Federal Building in Oklahoma. Did we start rounding up white people after that? No, but we did Arab looking people after 9/11.
We need to look at individuals, not the group.
