It’s been a while since the Bolsavik bothered with what’s left of the protests outside of Nguoi Viet Daily News. (Read collected entries here.) So here’s a brief update:
Ky Ngo and Trong Doan are still there. Mostly Ky Ngo, though. The times the Bolsavik came by the site, he saw Ky Ngo but not Trong Doan (who, btw, got fined $500 on the assault charge for shoving Nguoi Viet’s reproter). Maybe they work in shifts or something.
Anyway, so now the protesters have two trucks all decked out with flags and posters and slogans. Nguoi Viet, on the other hand, figured that two can play the flag-wrapping game, and erected three spanking new flag poles.
Now the whole scenery, with the flag poles and the trucks and signs and whatnot, look like everyone belong together. As if the whole flag poles / protest thing is all intended to be found together in fate by the mystic laws of the universe.
Kumbaya….
So. About the trucks.
The picture on top is the truck on the left; the one below is the truck on the right (“left”/”right” as you head toward the NV offices). The protesters come and go, but the trucks are there 24/7. Please excuse the quality of the photos; they were taken by cell phone. There’s a smudge probably from the Bolsavik’s car window.
What you don’t see when you just drive by, though, is that the truck on the left also features an altar on which are placed the portraits of five generals of the South Vietnamese armed forces who committed suicide when Saigon fell in 1975.
That’s the altar where the commie Garden Grove Mayor Bill Dalton and OC Supervisor Janet Nguyen paid their respect to, here.
The inappropriate (and unauthorized) use of the images of these generals has not gone unnoticed.
In the past several weeks, there were words that the brother of one of the five, Major General Nguyen Khoa Nam, has approached Vietnamese-language media asking for someone to speak out against the placement of his late brother’s portrait on Ky Ngo’s altar.
Sensing an opening, Nguoi Viet published an editorial (here, in Vietnamese) demanding that the portraits be taken down. The editorial is purportedly signed by a reader who allegedly served under 3 of the 5 generals. There are claims that it too was ghost-written by Nguoi Viet – probably true given who it was who made the assertion. But, hey, that’s irrelevant.
The point is, Ky Ngo and his band are finally being called on the things they do. They no longer intimidate. It would be nice if Nguoi Viet could speak out openly, but if they could borrow (or invent) someone’s name, that’s fine too. It would be even nicer if a supposed leader of the community could actually affect some leadership, but that may be too much to ask for.
These Generals must roll over in their grave when they found out they have to share the same truck w/ purported “commies”.
I don’t think Trong Doan will ever show up because a deal had been struck between NV and this “an khong ngoi roi” guy. He agreed not to get involved with the other “an khong ngoi roi’s” to camp in front of NV, in order for NV to drop suit against him.
Trong Doan is not “an khong ngoi roi”. There are rumors that he is now attending a special training program conducted by the Communist Party of Vietnam somewhere in Hanoi.
These mofos gotta get a freakin job. Janet, can’t you pay them more than the Trannies now???
what a disgrace. the thing i dont get is why there arent counter protests against these communists. and bolsavik, anytime you want some pics let me know i’ll take all kinds of pics of the communist filth that has disgraced our community.
What? Protesting? I thought it was Bolsa Circuit or some kind of swapmeet and they were selling flags and framed pictures. It kindda funny the display picture somewhat glorify the commies they protesting. These clowns need to pack up and give back the community peace and order.
Janet Nguyen and Bill Dalton are shameless political panderers. Kowtowing with incense in front of dead South Vietnamese generals who they know absolutely nothing about, or really cared, is just plain disgusting to the senses.
The Vietnamese community sees thru this false humility. Must be Nick Le Cong and Andrew Do who put them up to this stupidity. Where are they now to take care of the deceased generals and their sidewalk “guardians” now that the election is over?
Everyone agree that Janet Nguyen and Bill Dalton posed for some free publicity pictures without true concern for our people.
We should NEVER invite these shallow and disgraceful individuals to our important community functions…send these fake actors to Hollywood instead.
Get a job and/or life. There’s nothing wrong with protesting. There’s something wrong with protesting as a profession. Then again, this gives Bolsavik something to write about, and something to amuse myself with when I drive by during the weekend.
And to the arttards [FN1] at Nguoi Viet:
There’s nothing wrong with free press. There’s something wrong with free press cowering to these idiots. Where do we go to get Bolsavik his job back, ssuming he wants to be associated with a back-bone free organization?
FN1. See Southpark.
