[history]
The deer hunter accused of killing six hunters and wounding two others in the woods of northern Wisconsin is believed to have resided in the Toledo area as a youth and attended Jones Junior High School.
Chai Vang, 36, of St. Paul, is listed as a student at the South Toledo school during the 1982-1983 school year, according to Toledo Public School documents.
Willie Braggs, a social studies teacher at Jones, said he remembers Mr. Vang as a student. "He was in my class in 1982 and he seemed like a pretty good student," Mr. Braggs said. "It was a real shock [to hear of the shootings]."
A wave of Laotian refugees was brought to the Toledo area in 1979 and the early 1980s. They were resettled here with the help of church groups and other local sponsors. It was not clear yesterday when Mr. Vang's family came to Toledo or when they left.
By 1994, only about 35 Hmong families remained in the area, largely because many families moved to other cities where there were more jobs available and larger concentrations of others in their ethnic group.
About 24,000 Hmong live in St. Paul.

Lots of cities in Mississippi.
But do you understand my point? It is not as if he was in the back yard.

Now that these murders have occurred, it is easy to second guess..Perhaps your scenario would have gotten the lawmen or game warden killed...We'll never know.

In the future, with all the hostilities that have been going on between the two racial groups I hope they use the law next time.. What hostilities -they never saw the murderer before he murdered them. Do you suggest this a racial incident -maybe a 'hate crime' preemptive self defense in the case of the poor murderer?

"This may become a practice because of backlash."Particularly if the armed trespasser is Hmong. If I was Hmong....I wouldn't go hunting anywhere near the North Woods for some time.
