Charge Hmong Hmonster With Hate Crime!
By Dave Gibson (09/17/05)
Chai Vang, the Hmong immigrant who murdered six Wisconsin hunters last November has been found guilty on six counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder. However, this verdict is not enough. All of his victims were white and his vicious behavior went much farther than simple murder.
Vang was trespassing on private land, when he came upon the group of men and women on a yearly Thanksgiving hunting trip: Robert Crotteau, 42; Joey Crotteau, 20; Al Laski, 43; Mark Roidt, 28; Jessica Willers, 27; and Denny Drew, 55. Only one person in the group actually had a gun!
There has been a growing problem with Hmong hunters trespassing on private lands in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Hmong regularly hunt game out of season, none have licenses, and many reportedly use AK-47 assault weapons.
Robert Crotteau confronted Vang and ordered him to leave as well as report him to game authorities. Vang began walking away, then turned and opened fire on the group.
Vang used a semi-automatic rifle, which held a 20-round clip. He gunned down all eight of the hunters. Five of them died in the woods, one succumbed to his wounds in the hospital, and two survived the attack.
Sawyer County Chief Deputy Tim Zeigle described the murder scene by saying: "Vang was chasing after them and killing them. He hunted them down."
Vang hunted these people down one by one, and shot some of them multiple times. Joey Crotteau was shot in the back and side four times by Vang.
The vicious Vang showed absolutely no emotion as the verdicts were read. He did however, make a statement in which he claimed one of the hunters used profanity and racial slurs. Apparently, that was all the excuse this monster needed to open fire on a group of white people.
Though Vang's soul-less defense attorney Steven Kohn was successful in selecting a jury from liberal Dane County, instead of the location where the murders took place--even the liberal jury could not abide one of the most vicious crimes in U.S. history.
Make no mistake, had a white man been chasing down a group of unarmed Asians, picking them off one by one--the news coverage would trump that of the Natalee Holloway case. The FBI would also consider the massacre to be a 'hate crime.' However, it is never considered to be hateful nor racist when the murder victims are white.
Contact your Congressman and Senators and urge them to pursue federal charges against Vang. The civilized amongst us must not only demand an end to this racist double standard, but never forget the 'Wisconsin Six' who were murdered by the cowardly racist Vang!
