[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.

What planet are you from?

OK. You're new here.....welcome aboard. May I make a suggestion? Do a search with "Wisconsin" in the keywords.
Sit back and read the threads...there's many. There is a LOT of information on them regarding this area of Wisconsin.
Please.

"Why don't you FReepmail me your address so I can come and help myself to your property. You can dial 911 and wait while I leave."I'm not saying I agree with his advice, but just stating the obvious. Personally, I would have had my rifle trained on the armed trespasser from cover and ordered him to drop his weapon while he was still up in the tree. Failure to comply would have resulted in both Mr. Vang and his rifle dropping from the tree.

I have NO idea what your refering to...That's true of all your posts thus far.
You obviously know nothing about country folk, among other things.

They're still calling it an SKS.
At least they dropped the automatic term, in favor of the less offensive semi-automatic.
Wonder how that got by the editor?

Ummmm, wrong reply. When someone comes after you with intent to kill, you defend yourself. In Penna, we do that all the time. I don't know what "Blue City" you live in, pal, but we in the "Red States" believe in the 2nd Amendment.
Any questions, CD.
BTW, welcome to FR.
