"There's an expectation that the Hmong-American community ought to be answerable, or ought to be responsible for this one man's action."

Fueled, perhaps, by senseless headline writers? The case could be a single lunatic shooting at a group of hunters -- or it could be a "clash of cultures" in which one culture likes to hunt deer, and the other culture likes to shoot at groups of hunters.

I'm betting on the single lunatic theory, but the newspaper wants me to think that this Hmong was somehow "a representative of his culture", I guess.

Where there is trouble to be stirred you will find the MSM splashing happily. After all the more trouble and strife they can create the easier their job is.

The media is out of control. The media has over stepped their bounds. The media is interferring in our judicial process.

A prime example is the Scott, Lacy Peterson case.

Divergent accounts

Hesebeck, who was released from a hospital Tuesday after treatment for a shoulder wound, told investigators Willers shot at Vang after Vang fired first but missed. Both accounts agreed that Vang shot the others as more people from the deer camp arrived at the scene after Hesebeck used a walkie-talkie to call for help. Vang said he continued firing as the group scattered, and at one point chased one of the hunters and shot him in the back, only to find the man had no gun, the document states. Authorities have said there was only one gun among the victims. According to investigators, it’s believed Vang fired at least 20 shots. Hesebeck told the Star Tribune of Minneapolis on Tuesday that much of what he has heard in news media reports about the incident is not accurate.

THANK you. You saved me saying one single further word about this incident.
