Why I love the right-wing...this is a cleaned up version of an email I
received after stating here that we didn't know the facts regarding
that
awful hunting-shooting incident in the Upper Midwest last week:


"I've hunted for many, many years in Minnesota and have had to put up
with Hmongs coming through the woods shooting everything, and I mean
everything, in site. (such as songbirds, housecats, even game out of
season). They then make a fire to cook their illegal victims,...
feather, fur, guts and all right there and eat it. If we are to be open
to foreigners moving into OUR country, then they need
to abide by OUR laws, OUR customs and OUR beliefs. They need to leave
the crap from Laos behind!
What a ****ing narrow-minded dick. Geez!"

Ain't Amerika great?


What's wrong with expecting that hunting & wildlife regulations be
observed,
even if someone's native customs say "shoot anything that moves"?



Nothing at all...but I suspect the fellow that sent me this email saw
once in his life an Asian misbehaving in the woods, assumed after last
week's horror that the fellow was Hmong, and has now come up with the
tale of "Hmongs coming through the woods" shooting everything in sight.
Unlikely. And even more unlike he knows anything at all about Laos, or
what life there is like.

Some of the more detailed news reports about the shooting included the fact
that the Hmong were sometimes a bit liberal with their interpretation of
game laws and private property, which is why there's some sort of genuine
official Hmong organization, with a spokesperson and everything, involved
with negotiating community disputes. Apparently, part of the problem
involves reading/language problems. If I recall, one report even said that
the Wisconsin wildlife department (whatever it's called) has hired a couple
of the Hmong to serve as interpreters.

The whole situation sounds like a mess.
