Burmese refugees watch as suspected robber kills father in Milwaukee

Jay Ro and his wife, Ca Na, were in their kitchen early Thursday morning, preparing a traditional Burmese breakfast. He was peeling garlic, she was washing dishes.

Then their 11-year-old son, Thee Ku Moo, walked into the room — with a stranger, holding a gun against the boy's neck.

While attempting to get his son out of danger, Jay Ro, 48, was shot dead by the armed robber, who fled the family's home near N. 30th and W. Cherry streets in Milwaukee.

A language barrier, fear and bad luck converged that day; the family had spent years in a refugee camp in Thailand, and were working hard to start a new life in Milwaukee. Police are seeking suspects and a motive for the homicide.

Ca Tri Na, 44, who spoke with composure Friday about the circumstances leading to her husband's death, said she hadn't felt unsafe in her home before Thursday, but now she warns everyone to not open the door to strangers.

"We thought, 'We live here, and we don't bother anyone, so no one will bother us,'" Na said through a translator Friday.

The Burmese family — Ro and Na, their four children, ages 5, 7, 9 and 11, and Ro's parents — lived on the city's west side, after arriving in Milwaukee in 2011. They'd spent at least eight years living in a Thai refugee camp, where Ro and Na married in 2002.

Catholic Charities helped them re-settle in Milwaukee, assisting with rent and helping secure work. Ro briefly worked at Cargill Meat Solutions in the Menomonee Valley, but lost his job when the plant closed last year. He hadn't found employment since. He and his wife spent their time caring for their children and taking English language classes.

Catholic "Charities" is a product of Left-wing US Bishops who have been bringing people in by the tens-of-thousands every year and enrolling the in every federal handout they could find for generations. There are entire ghettos of people brought in by them who have not assimilated, by design.

One of Eric Holder's people, another group of assimilated-by-design protected-class, did one of them in.

I see reaping what has been sown. Nothing more. Nothing less.

The race, occupation, and political affiliation of Mr. Jay Ro's murderer were not stated in the article. Are you personally involved with this criminal investigation or are you basing these assertions solely on your own racist biases?

I see reaping what has been sown. Nothing more. Nothing less.

There is absolutely nothing in the article to indicate that Mr. Jay Ro did anything to deserve this. Legally immigrating to this country does not make him and his family worthy of being murdered. Your statements on this thread to and about this suffering family are truly despicable. This country would be a much better place if there were more people like Mr. Ro and fewer like you.

Enjoy Obama's 30,000,000 "unaccompanied children."

FYI, they'll be voting in 2016, just like all the parasites brought in by Catholic Charities.

You've been disenfranchised, and you deserve it!

That is terrible what happened to that family. There is no reason for Burmese to be living in the US.
