NYU Forum: A deeper look at the Hmong hunter incident

This article reports on a February forum in New York at which panelists discussed the Wisconsin incident involving the killing of six hunters by a Hmong-American man during an argument in the woods. Among the speakers was Frank Wu, dean of the WSU Law School , who "helped the audience to imagine what Vang may have been thinking and feeling, particularly the sense that no matter how long the Hmongs were in Wisconsin and Minnesota , they could never be viewed as 'locals.'" Wu pointed out that people should not make pretrial judgments about the man's guilt or innocence and should be supportive of his right to get a fair trial.
