Read Adios, America: The Left's Plan to Turn Our Country into a Third World Hellhole Online

I have no idea what that little vignette illustrates, but neither the victims of this gang rape nor their assailants had names like “Martha Moreno.”
The surprise ending—which
Times
readers WOULD NEVER BE TOLD—was that the Fresno gang rapists were Hmong immigrants, as were their victims. Over the next year, about three dozen Hmong men were indicted for a series of gang rapes and forced prostitution of young girls in the Fresno area, including the gang rape that reminded the
Times
of high school football players in New Jersey a decade earlier.

Apart from a random reference to the “Mongolian Boys Society,” the only hint that the Fresno gang rape was entirely an immigrant affair was this passage: “Ms. Eager, the director of the Fresno rape center, said people had called her office asking if the girls had been wearing sexy clothing or if they had done something to provoke the attack. One man called to say that because the girls had walked into the motel room, it was not fair to call it rape.”
Only on Lifetime TV for Women, would an American man call the prosecutor to ask if child victims of a gang rape were wearing “sexy clothing.”
Why does the public have to search for clues in a news story? News is not supposed to be a suspense novel. The
Times
knew, so why not tell us? Instead, it deliberately hid the truth by launching into a pointless reverie about a 1989 rape in Glen Ridge, nonspecific “fraternity rapes,” and a “white supremacist gang” in Fresno. Never did the
Times
inform its readers that the Fresno gang rape was committed by Hmong, nor did the
Times
provide the names of the suspected rapists—not through their arrests, indictments, pleas, and convictions.
3
Everyone else was named—law enforcement officials, the mayor, rape crisis counselors. Why not the perps?
The media would sooner publish the names of rape
victims
than the names of their “diverse” rapists. Gang rape is a strength! Wait, did I get that right?
Eventually, twenty-three Hmong were indicted in the Fresno child rape, which sounds kind of newsworthy to me. But only two newspapers and one TV network informed the public that the rapists were Hmong: The
St. Paul Pioneer Press
(Minnesota), the
Washington Post
, and CNN.
Why would a newspaper in Minnesota report on a gang rape in California, you ask? Only someone in the news business could be expected to notice, but a rape epidemic has been sweeping through all the Hmong hot spots in America: Fresno, California; St. Paul, Minnesota; Green Bay, Wisconsin; Boulder, Colorado; and Detroit, Michigan.

And that’s to say nothing of the sudden appearance of polygamy, opium use, and animal sacrifice.

After another Hmong rape in Fresno, the
Times
sympathetically explained that in Hmong culture, “no” means “yes.” In that case, a twenty-three-year-old Hmong man kidnapped a coed from her dorm room, took her to his parents’ house, and raped her. Oozing with cultural understanding, the
Times
noted that this was how the Hmong propose marriage. How does a woman decline the offer? Hang herself? According to a lawyer quoted by the
Times
, the American witnesses to the girl’s abduction had simply misunderstood her “ritual protests” and called the police. Apparently, the rape victim didn’t understand either, inasmuch as she filed rape charges. The
Times
’ article about the rape was titled: “Asian Tradition at War with American Laws.”

A few years after that, in 1988, a Hmong immigrant kidnapped a young Laotian woman from her Fresno office and forcibly raped her. The American judge sentenced the rapist to only 120 days in jail after his lawyer said that, in Hmong culture, if a woman doesn’t fight her rapist with sufficient ferocity, the rapist and victim are considered married.

(Note to Hmong: You might want to put this on your
Match.com
profile.)
In 1991, Hmong immigrants in Colorado purchased a fifteen-year-old girl from her Hmong parents in Fresno for $8,300, not including shipping. The girl was taken to Colorado, where she was sexually assaulted by the family’s twenty-one-year-old son.
Happy birthday, Son!
She escaped by
slipping a note to a neighbor that read, “I’m not his wife. They force me here and I want to go back to Fresno.” (You know someone’s being held prisoner if they return voluntarily to Fresno.) When the police showed up, the Colorado Hmong were indignant, saying they had paid good money for the girl and announcing that the purchase of teenaged brides was “a custom among members of their ethnic group.”

In 1996, it was a multicultural fantasy camp when Dominican immigrant Judge Ramona Gonzales
9
presided over the criminal trial of Hmong immigrant Sia Ye Vang. Convicted of habitually sexually molesting his stepdaughters, aged ten and eleven, Vang faced up to eighty years in prison. Instead, Judge Gonzales sentenced him to . . . English lessons! Perhaps she’d found a new treatment for sex offenders.
You need a new hobby. How about learning English?
You think that will stop these cravings, Doc?
It’s worth a try!
The child molester’s lawyer had argued that sex with girls is accepted in Vietnam, the defendant
’
s native country.

Had I been there, I would have pointed out,
We’re not in Vietnam
.
In 1999, nine Hmong men pleaded guilty to luring four teen and preteen girls from Wisconsin to Detroit, where the girls were held captive and repeatedly gang-raped.
11
In 2003, a group of Hmong men took turns raping young girls “to see whether their small bodies were large enough to accommodate adult customers.”
12
In November 2011, a Hmong woman helped a Hmong man rape a sixteen-year-old girl with a beer can, brutalizing the girl so badly that her blood soaked through two blankets and a carpet. The unconscious girl had to be airlifted to the Mayo Medical Clinic.

Thank you, Teddy Kennedy!
The prosecution of Hmong rapists is hindered by the fact that neither the girls nor their families are inclined to report the rapes. (
Rolling Stone
magazine might want to look into this.) The Associated Press reports, “In
Hmong culture, a girl who loses her virginity before marriage may be looked down upon by her own relatives, even if she is forcibly raped.”
14
Do tell me more about these colorful, fascinating people!
Around the time of the Hmong rape in Fresno that made the
Times
think of fraternity rapes, Hmong armed burglars in St. Paul forced a Hmong woman to strip naked, then fondled her in front of her husband and nine children. They robbed the family and, before leaving, raped the mother and her eleven-year-old daughter. According to Hmong cultural anthropologists, the assailants believed that the sexual assaults would prevent the family from reporting the robbery.
15
In fact, the family reported the robbery right away, but waited days to mention the rapes.
In November 2011, a fifteen-year-old Hmong girl was gang-raped after a Hmong friend offered to give her a ride home from school, but, instead, took her to an abandoned house, where about two dozen Hmong men and boys were waiting. The men dragged the girl, kicking and screaming, from the car and gang-raped her. She didn’t report the crime because of the shame to her family. Eventually, school officials discovered the attack and called the police.
16
After a twelve-year-old Hmong girl in Minnesota was gang-raped by at least ten men, neither she nor her family told the police. Over the next several weeks, she continued to be abducted and gang-raped. Returning home after one brutal episode, limping in pain, a female relative said to her: “You’re just a little slut.”
17
A fourteen-year-old Hmong girl who was gang-raped in 1998 reports that her Hmong classmates “look at me like I’m just a tramp.”
18
A sixteen-year-old Hmong girl who was gang-raped and forced into prostitution by some Hmong men never told her parents about it, explaining that her mother would only say, “You deserved it.”
19
Like I haven’t heard that before! This exact episode has appeared on
Law & Order
a dozen times, but the rapists were always preppie fraternity guys.
When a disturbed girl at the University of Virginia tells three different stories about being gang-raped at a fraternity house, her story is scooped up by
Rolling Stone
magazine and becomes major national news. But an
actual gang-rape epidemic sweeping California, Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin is deliberately hidden from the public. You can’t make a governing Democratic coalition without breaking a few girls.
Even if the press were dying to report on the Hmong gang-rape spree, the police won’t tell them about it. A year before the Hmong gang rape that reminded the
Times
of a rape in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, the police in St. Paul issued a warning about gang rapists using telephone chat lines to lure girls out of their homes. Although the warning was issued only in Hmong, St. Paul’s police department refused to confirm to the
St. Paul Pioneer Press
that the suspects were Hmong, finally coughing up only the information that they were “Asian.”
20
And the gang rapes continue. The
Star Tribune
counted nearly one hundred Hmong males charged with rape or forced prostitution from 2000 to June 30, 2005. More than 80 percent of the victims were fifteen or younger. A quarter of their victims were not Hmong.
21
The police say many more Hmong rapists have gone unpunished—they have no idea how many—because Hmong refuse to report rape. Reporters aren’t inclined to push the issue. The only rapes that interest the media are apocryphal gang rapes committed by white men.
Was America short on Hmong? These backward hill people began pouring into the United States in the seventies as a reward for their help during the ill-fated Vietnam War. That war ended forty years ago! But the United States is still taking in thousands of Hmong “refugees” every year, so taxpayers can spend millions of dollars on English-language and cultural-assimilation classes, public housing, food stamps, healthcare, prosecutors, and prisons to accommodate all the child rapists.
22
By now, there are an estimated 273,000 Hmong in the United States.
23
Canada only has about eight hundred.
24
Did America lose a bet? In the last few decades, America has taken in more Hmong than Czechs, Danes, French, Luxembourgers, New Zealanders, Norwegians, or Swiss. We have no room for them. We needed to make room for a culture where child rape is the norm.
25
A foreign gang-rape culture that blames twelve-year-old girls for their own rapes may not be a good fit with American culture, especially now that political correctness prevents us from criticizing any “minority” group. At least when white males commit a gang rape the media never shut up about it. The Glen Ridge gang rape occurred more than a quarter century ago, and the
Times
still thinks the case hasn’t been adequately covered.
THE WITCH DOCTOR IS IN
If liberals will excuse rape when committed by immigrants, it’s the work of a moment for them to drop their reverence for “science” when it conflicts with primitive beliefs of tribal people transplanted to the United States.
A Fresno man—an actual Fresno man, not a “Fresno man”—was horrified when he looked out his window and saw his Hmong neighbors clubbing a German shepherd puppy to death. The police arrived and found out the Hmong were practicing a ritual slaughter to appease the gods because the woman of the house was sick—all of which was reported with great sensitivity by the
Los Angeles Times
. True, an American doctor had told the woman that she just had diabetes, but, as the
Times
reported, “she isn’t so sure.”
26
An American doctor said she had diabetes. She had diabetes. Is that really an open question at the
LA Times
? Other Hmong in California weren’t “so sure” when American doctors told them their kids had measles, club feet, and even cancer, deferring instead to their “ancient folk ways” over the white man’s science. As a result, at least nine Hmong children died of measles in a single year, one Hmong was condemned to live with club feet, and a Hmong girl with ovarian cancer suddenly disappeared, never receiving the chemotherapy she needed.
27
It was the gods’ punishment for an ancestor’s evil ways!
The
LA Times
was practically lactating with cultural understanding about the Hmong’s canine murder, titling the article: “Hmong’s Sacrifice of Puppy Reopens Cultural Wounds.” It seems that Americans were creating “cultural wounds” by complaining about the Hmong clubbing Fido to death. How about the puppy’s wounds? Could we get an article on that?
Hello, PETA? Stop hassling that kid for eating a hamburger—I got a real story for you!
When even animal-rights activists abandon their concern for helpless creatures out of political correctness toward immigrants, the brainwashing has reached a crisis point. Instead of criticizing the Hmong’s house pet holocaust, the head of Fresno’s Humane Society, Don Pugh, called Americans racist for objecting to it. Pugh told the
LA Times
that he got more calls about animal sacrifice than he found animal carcasses. Thus, he concluded, complaints about Hmong clubbing dogs to death was “racism, pure and simple.”
28
On Pugh’s logic, Jimmy Hoffa is still alive.
