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.

You never read the report did you.
You are blaming the victims for the actions of a nutcase. No reasonable person would do that. To follow your logic, we need to call the police at every altercation or perceived threat of altercation. That may work in your fantasy world, but not in reality. The truth of the matter is that the hunters did nothing wrong or even out of the ordinary. They were killed by a madman. It was not their fault. Your efforts to place blame on them, IMHO, are strictly for the purposes of creating a stir in this forum. Your use of phrases like "posse" and "piehole" in referring to the victims from "Cheeseland" can also be interpreted as such. I only hope that faced with the same set of circumstances, you can outrun the bullets.
You are exactly right!
The question has been answered. You have no shame.
Good point, CB. I'm outta here. By the way, why are you hanging around then?

"see we really don't know what happened we have a police report from one side of the incident, I wish we had video..."
Exactly! And, you are supporting this side (ie, Vang's) of the incident. Yet, in the statement above you state that Vang's report of what happened is not enough. So, everything you have stated in this thread is based on insufficient and one-sided evidence. Still you support Vang's actions indirectly by stating ad nauseam that Vang is the victim.
Don't expect the other side to come out and support your already frail arguments.
Boya, you're digging yourself into a deeper and deeper hole.
No, it's called defending the memory and character of the victims of this senseless murder! It has something to do with Honor and Loyalty! Get it??!
I check in cause I'm addicted just like you...hehehehe :)
Open and vigorous discussion of issues and events is essential in a free society, We can discuss and argue all night, that is exactly why this board was founded. But we have certain standards of belief.
"Now you tell me just how in the he!! that was HER FAULT!"
In the mind of a delusional it was her fault for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. She was part of the "posse," you see. (/sarcasm)
Give Vang the rope! Give it to him NOW!
