Nichols Accused of Murder of Hmong Hunter

James Nichols has been charged with murder in the slaying of the Hmong hunter, Cha Vang of Green Bay, Wisconsin. Marinette County District Attorney Brent DeBord said at a news conference in Marinette this week that James A. Nichols shot Cha Vang once and stabbed him several times.

The Hmong community generally views the crime as racially motivated, perhaps as vengeance for the Chai Vang killings in 2004.

In light of another recent confrontation between a Hmong hunter and a property owner, I think it would be wise for Hmong hunters to take a break from hunting for a season or two. I know that's unfair to them, but it might be the safe thing to right now.
Comments:
Four years ago when Chai Vang was accused in the killing six hunters the media reported it as " Six hunters killed by a Hmong man". You stereotyped Hmong people then and turned the word Hmong into nothing more then relating to killers.

If a whit man was killed by another white man in the woods, you wouldn't reported in any other way then "Hunter found dead in the wood". What happens if the person killed was Jewish and the person who killed him was German? Would you report it as Jewish man killed by a German?

Why doesnt the media find out what ethnic background James Nichols was and instead of saying "Wisconsin Hunter Charged in Slaying", you should be saying "Polish Hunter Charged in Slaying" or "German Hunter Charged in Slaying" or "Mexican Hunter Charged in Slaying" or "Italian Hunter Charged in Slaying". You get the point.

I am sick of the media picking and choosing of who they really want to be guilty. The media has play a large part racial tension so why hold back now? Why don't you print the same thing you did four years ago? Or is the white man too afraid of being called killers?

Maybe white people should stay out of the woods for a year or two. Just so everyone knows "white people also tresspass on Hmong owned properties too"
 
Let's all stay out of the woods.

When was the last time we had a massacre at a bowling alley? That's the sane place to be now.
 
Under this heaven, we are made by one God. Why do we hold so much hate among us? What accomplishment do we have? The Hmong people regards the white people as brothers, but majority of the white people's view Hmong as salvage. Today the Hmong's view to the white people will change. I don't understand why Middle East people hate our government so much. Now I begin to see bit by bit. Cha Vang's death may be forgotten by the white people, but for the Hmong it will be in their heart forever. This is just the beginning. If the case does not solve fairly, who know what the future will hold between white people and all minority like Indian, Asian, Black, Hispanic, and the Middle East. The white people just got too many grudge with too many races. One day it will rise like the Ocean wave. The story of the Bible will then end.
 
And the media and the police and the government turn their backs and said "there is no discrimination here." Racist fools, just read this forum for the answer.
 
YOU CAN NOT resolve the issue by ignoring it. Accetp the facts and cause change for the better.
 
This is a retarded white dude that needs to go to jail or hell. Sorry Im white but this is racist agains the hmong. Those who do not see are blind, im also disgrace that we have so many white people thinking the retard Nichols was the victime..

Im sick of all this BS all the red necks are making good honest white folks like me seem like a racist.
 
I strongly agree with the first Anonymous who comments, "Four years ago when Chai Vang was accused in the killing six hunters the media reported it as " Six hunters killed by a Hmong man". You stereotyped Hmong people then and turned the word Hmong into nothing more then relating to killers.

If a whit man was killed by another white man in the woods, you wouldn't reported in any other way then "Hunter found dead in the wood". What happens if the person killed was Jewish and the person who killed him was German? Would you report it as Jewish man killed by a German?

-----Yes, you bring up a good and very important point. I've just realized this. I now thought to myself, why does the media always find or use different words on people's ethnicity. I'll look out for this subject. It's important that you brought this up.
