RE: Interesting tie to this area and Chai Vang
Oh is that disgusting!! But certainly in keeping with their nature. These people have no common sense, no sense of decency, they're most often totally uneducated, and darn it all but it's just true - they do smell bad!!
Keep the stories coming -- I'm making a collection!!!
I once was dating a man who had a friend who was a landlord. He, due to discrimination laws, rented to a Hmong family (dung is more appropriate! lol) because he said they were polite to him, the father had a good job, there were only five kids as opposed to the usual dozen, they were driving a nice vehicle (poor guy didn't know all this stuff was given to them), etc.,etc. IN other words, he felt it was a safe risk and tried to be a good person by realizing they are human and need a place to live, too. Well, to sum up an otherwise long story, the whole experience was a nightmare for him. He sold the home after he cleaned up the mess and said forget being a landlord if this is what our laws force a person to put up with. He said there were blood stains all over the basement floor and bathroom. The carpets stunk so bad he had to remove them, and get the flooring underneath specially treated three times before the smell was eliminated enough to put new carpeting in. He said it took four coats of paint to cover the blood in the basement -- it was on the walls, too.
The hmongs also screamed discrimination when he evicted them. THe case went to court, the landlord showed the pictures of the damage and had witnesses to attest to the smells and other destruction and got off but get this one - - the paper never reported one word, nor did the Hmongs get ordered to pay for any damages.
Then a few months later my local newspaper donated $20,000 toward a Hmong Memorial that those people want put up in this city for "their service in Vietnam". THEY WERE PAID BY THE CIA!! We never had a treaty with them - they can't write, they couldn't have signed on anyway!! They claim we made them all these promises then deserted them. but the truth is, there is absolutely NO record to be found of any kind of agreement, promise, what have you, between them and the U.S.
