It's not a language barrier. There's just this cultural resistance to doing it by our laws.

Maybe they should go back to Laos if they are unwilling or unable to abide by our laws.

Well, I live in St. Paul. You're right; there are cultural differences. Most Hmong folks, though, don't shoot people over them.

This is one individual, not the Hmong in general. We need to deal with this particular person and not apply his actions and our reactions to what he did to the rest of the Hmong community.

The overwhelmingly vast majority of all hunters are fine people, Hmong or not. There are cases, of course, of hunters who are buttheads or worse. I've known a few bad apples who were native-born caucasians.

Drawing general conclusions about the Hmong community, based on this hunter/murderer, is a mistake.

Phooey. We need to deal severely with this individual, then come down hard on the rest (including other s.e. Asians) to make them understand game laws and private property rights -- or else!

I lived on the central coast of CA for many years and Asian "immigrants" routinely poached illegal-sized clams, abalone, mussels, etc. -- anything they could grab. They would be caught with hundreds of pounds of illegal shellfish and one wonders how many got away with it. They knew exactly what they were doing but counted on political correctness and the liberal double-standard for minorities to allow them to scoff at the law. In my book the law either applies to everyone or no one -- I'm sick of being jerked around!
