This is a sad case. If they jury had found him not guilty, the Anglo population would revolt. Now, we wait to see the reaction of the Hmong community. I know quite a few and they have been curiously quiet about this case.
They're probably embarrassed that someone identified with them turned out to be a mass-murdering psycho.
I really could not care any less about a groups reaction. If they riot, shoot them. If they don't like it, they are free to leave the area, the county and the country. What don't you understand about a mass murder?
Poaching is something of a tradition/habit and winked at among the Hmong, but this guy went WAY over the line. He has brought shame upon his community (something Anglos by and large seem to have forgotten.)
Don't think we'll see much of a public reaction. A few liberals may try to make some hay about racial prejudice, but I don't think it will resonate.
"I know quite a few and they have been curiously quiet about this case."
Do not you assume they are embarrased?
" If they jury had found him not guilty, the Anglo population would revolt."
? When's the last time the "Anglo population" revolted following a verdict?
He's guilty and no other vedict could be rendered.
Sad case? You bet! 6 people were killed in cold blood
Probably because they were aware of him being a pyscho to begin with.
The Hmong communities reaction is irrelevant. The issue was about whether or not a man took it upon himself to take the lives of 8 unsuspecting, innocent hunters, four of whom were shot in the back. Had he been found innocent, Anglo, Asians, Polynesians, etc. would have every right to voice their outrage.
Should the Hmong community react in objection over the verdict would speak poorly of their sincere sense of justice.
I understand that there may be FR's out there that would say the Hmong's know all about "sense of justice", given their history, but history doesn't justify a criminal act. This was indeed criminal, and justice was served.
No evidence for that.
I only wish that the "Anglo" or better yet, "American" population would revolt against the massive importation of people from utterly alien, inferior cultures.
Yeah, well if they had found him not guilty it would have been very revolting indeed. Too bad Wisconsin doesn't have a death sentence. This guy is the poster child for it.

Is there any possibility that they are sorely embarrassed over his actions?
Mid-Wisconsin brought many Hmong over years ago to give them a new start and it hasn't proven to have been the best idea since bratwurst cooked in beer and beerbattered deep fired onion rings, believe me.
A number of them that I've talked to think that Vang is as guilty as sin, but worry that the case will give Hmong hunters a bad name. Mostly they just seem to want to keep a low profile and let things calm down.
Sad case? He murdered 5 people!
And when was the last time in the past 100 years, the Anglo population revolted after a court verdict they didn't like?
