General Discussion / Your Opinion

Food for thought;

If you had to make a choice that did not benefit you immediately, directly or even at all, would you make that choice? If you understood all others but yourself would be, say positively impacted, would you make that selfless decision?

General Discussion / Rant of the Day

« on: January 10, 2020, 11:40:25 AM »

Misinformation is worse than no information.

What ever happened to having an original thought? When did we start adopting hive-mind mentality?

This has nothing to do with politics or religion or any of that sh*t so please restrain yourself from replying with such as the punishment will result in; 1) your comment will being deleted and/or 2) you'll hereby be referred to as a douche/d-bag/witless lackey.

Good day!

I thought we were past this, guys? It's often either Domestic or Gang-Related.

General Discussion / Chiaser Fong Vue Shooting

« on: December 19, 2019, 11:55:16 AM »

Updates are still streaming in. Long story short; domestic disturbance escalates to a standoff eventually leading to the death of Chiaser Fong Vue.

-reports indicate he had a knife at first
-grabbed a rifle and shot at the police (reports indicate Chiaser fired first)

-was he holding his family hostage?
-was anyone in the house in immediate danger?

I've seen plenty of outrage due to the discrepancy in the number of shots fired into the home at CFV (17 vs 107, police report vs family's count). But there's also a disconnect between what police should have done as opposed to what they did do. Would it change anyone's mind knowing one of the officer's who fired was Hmong (Yang)? Was this another case of a husband who intended to kill or threatened his spouse?

It'll be difficult to remain objective considering the recent trends in the Hmong Community regarding domestic abuse cases and their outcomes. What says anyone else?

Must see for you, YAX. Nothing new. But some individuals need visual aides.

General Discussion / 1920-2020 and Beyond

« on: November 25, 2019, 11:52:10 AM »

Imagine being alive and experiencing all the changes within the last 100 years or so. You're 80 years old now, and you were around for WW2. When you were born you knew individuals who fought in the Civil War.

I can't wrap my mind around it. Makes me feel small.
