An email (click here to read in Vietnamese) broadcast over the weekend was claiming that Ly Tong, Rambo Pham and Cung The Tran went to USC, cut down the red-and-yellow flag of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, and replaced it with the yellow-and-red flag of the former Republic of Vietnam.

The yellow flag had been given to the trio by Ky Ngo. Both Ngo and Tran are leaders of the protests against Nguoi Viet and defendants in the paper’s lawsuit.

Apparently the trio went to USC on the Sunday before MLK day, found the campus empty and the flag way to high to remove. So they went around until they came upon a construction site. Tong spotted a ladder, so he jumped over the fence and carried that ladder out.

Anyway, so the Bolsavik asked a USC friend to take some pictures. When they came, they actually show Ly Tong never took down the red flag.

Nope, all he did was to drape two yellow flags over the red flag.

The man is back! After some disastrous performances in San Jose and in Asia, Ly Tong re-established himself as the leader of the Vietnamese community by doing what has always worked for him in the past - commit a crime and then brag about it.

Ly Tong went from fool back to hero again in an act of vandalism that’s widely applauded by the protestors.

Last week, Ly Tong came to Santa Ana and joined the protests against the F.O.B. II: Art Speaks exhibit. That’s Tong on the right, with Cung The Tran, a leader of the Nguoi Viet protest and a defendant in the paper’s lawsuit.

As Ly Tong told it in an email he sent out to a vast number of people (text in Vietnamese here), he and another person approached one of the curators of the closed exhibit, told her they’d come all the way from Houston just for this and asked her to let them in.
