Viet homeless charged in death of Viet homeless

A San Jose Viet homeless man was arraigned today on murder and arson charges stemming from the killing two weeks ago of a fellow Viet homeless man, reports KTVU here.

Quyen Nguyen, 41, is charged in Santa Clara Superior Court with one count of murder and one count of arson causing great bodily injury in connection with the death of 39-year-old Phuong Giang.

The police believe Giang was burned to death while sleeping in an encampment in a parking lot at 1692 Tully Road around 12:15 a.m. on Dec. 20.

Both Nguyen and Giang were transients living in makeshift encampments in the area of Tully Road and Alvin Avenue in San Jose.

The area is heavily Vietnamese, Lion Plaza is across the street, and many Vietnamese homeless people congregate there.

A fire investigator determined Giang was lit on fire while he was lying on his side in a sleeping position, police said.

Giang was pronounced dead at 12:28 a.m.

Three witnesses, one an eyewitness, each identified Nguyen as either the person responsible for setting the fire or someone running from the fire.

    well thoughtless (sonny tran) i’m sorry i cant be as smart as you and jung kim but hey, i can always try right? and i dont back down from my statement that there isnt any good elected viets in oc i mean look at what we got. it doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure that one out. and it is my business. i’m an american who just so happens to live in little saigon so i would say it’s very much my business. and as far as the oj blog i can post there i just choose not to. art told me i was welcome to post there on this blog after i scolded him for blogwhorring here and i very politely told him to go fuck himself. pedroza is a liar and a hack who regularly deletes posts that he doesnt agree with. our problems started after i attacked the wicked witch of little saigon janet nguyen and we all know how he feels about her now. back then he worshiped her. he blamed me being blocked on that nutjob SMS but art is a liar. so once again i can comment there i just choose not to. got it? and i’m sure you can think that i hate most viets all you want you’re the one who has proven time and time again that it’s YOU thats the racist. and i hate to be the one to break it to you sonny but pedroza isnt a cholo. thats just you showing your racism… again. i never voted for jose solorio either you’re just using the words of your “guru” who has some strange fixation with solorios rectum but hey, to each his own. and one more thing, i dont use drugs. drugs make you stupid thats why i make it a point not to mess with them so try some different accusations sonny. be “creative”.

    Jung Kim;
    I am just asking you a question,

    You said:
    ‘… Our economy is hard…. but fortunately most of us can afford $10 per household member (100,000 participants x 10 = 1 mil.)…’

    My question to you:
    1. How many viet homeless persons in O.C.?
    2. How many viet households in O.C.?

    And you went ballistic on me. It is clear that you have not give it a serious thought about this homeless issue, you just post some idea which show how childish you are. Such schoolyard mentality.

    @Jose vulgaris:

    I don’t think there isn’t any good Viet leader in OC. I think most people (Viet and non-Viet) who have had contact with Viet leaders (elected officials, company executive, etc) would not call them a bunch of fool. But I believe some of them have faults. If you think your Hispanics leaders don’t have faults, you need to get out of your house immediately and have you tested for lead.

    What I’m saying is … we can both be right because you’re using your brain and I’m using mine.

    Historically, election figures show low Hispanics turnout . Well, you know how they say you can’t complain if you don’t vote or don’t run (including run away from police).

    Last but not least, you came to USA at a very early age and, it seems to me, you still take a swim in English. Please, stop posting rambling comments … they give me a headache.

  5. Jung Kim says:

    jose, solorio rectum licking idiot… you must be drunk with your own spit. Either you have a mental breakdown or fully blown depression go give cholo Arturo a big kiss & hug then get lost.

  6. Jung Kim says:

    Bo May = Cheapskate.

    Don’t worry about losing your moldy $10 bill to our homeless project.

    However, extra $10 won’t make you rich or poor. You are a cheap scum.

  7. Hack says:

    A fight a fight
    Between a sp*c and a g&&K!
    Over which group has the greatest
    number of bad political leaders
    Does it matter when they hurt all?
    But the verbal fisticuff still rages on…

    Is there enough time on earth to win
    such an oral battle?
    While they separate and divide communities,
    the new minority of a shade of pale
    waltzes their way into glory…

    Jack, you must be lonely tonight…..

  9. Bo May says:

    Jung Kim;

    Still ducking my question? How many viet homeless persons are there in O.C. that need your 1mil. dollars to help them out of their demise.

    Why don’t you just accept your idea, even with good intention, was a rather immature and childish.

    OMG, I just can’t wait to see the scenario, IF you ever get your dream pipe on the run, taking on the pledge for the 1 mil dollar campaign, would you call people cheapSkate if they refuse to give you a $10? LOL.

    Oops, I forgot…

    thoughtless (sonny tran) once again your racism shows and i’m glad you exposed yourself yet again. one more thing, i was born in america i didnt come here at a young age so once again you are wrong. sonny you cant seem to get anything right can you? and jung kim, you seem to forget you actually blogwhorred for pedroza remember? that means you’re his little bitch. and jung kim did you notice how i was able to address two idiots in the same comment? you should try it sometime so you dont have 10-15 comments in a row spewing the same mindless crap.

  12. Jung Kim says:

    jose, ….and you are solorio’s little tongue? Ha Ha Ha!

  13. Jung Kim says:

    Bo May, we won’t waste time with cheapo like you.
    Your bruised $10 bill is not acceptable anymore.

    Hey scummy……a dollar bill is your weakness.

  14. Bo May says:

    Can’t wait to see you get the first $10 for your dream pipe.

    Well, I am going to get a latte and a croissant with my 10 buck if you don’t want it, this will reduce the number of households to 99,999 on your list then.

    Thanks.

  15. Jung Kim says:

    Suck it up Bo May, you are a cheapo!

  16. Jung Kim says:

    Or you are damn poor. Bo May!

    Have you been paying your own electricity bill?

  17. Jung Kim says:

    Bo May, it’s time for you to go pan handling for breakfast money. Cheapo!

  18. Jung Kim says:

    You get up and first running toward computer to check my posting……………

    Bo May, show me same dedication for next 3 years then you may receive your white belt from me.

  19. Bo May says:

    Jung Kim;

    I can appreciate your compassion for the homeless and the honorable van tran (who will be homeless soon) but I do see your energy has been put to waste and prime for failure.

    I just don’t want to see all of that energy go to waste on something that is not there. They are not worth your cause. Can’t bear to hear the news some guy jump off the highway overpass when van tran fails his bid to the senate seat.

    Just live a normal productive good life, stay out of troubles and definitely, stay out of political whoring ’cause you ain’t cut for it.

    (Go tell the other personalities who reside inside your body, too)

    It is such a sad situation.

  21. Jung Kim says:

    Hey Cheapo Bo May, I have been working with food bank project for last 5years and each year we are more fruitful…mainly due to the fact that we don’t have cheapos like you working with us.

  22. Jung Kim says:

    Bo May, be all jealous anti viet and you will end up in a deep hole with cow manure.

    Our Viets are all supporting Assemblyman Van Tran to be first ever Viet Congressman from OC!

    Go Mr. Van Tran!

    Kimmy;
    You worked for the food bank last 5 years. Very nice of you and your social service must be commended.
    But…you still don’t know how many viet homeless persons out there?
    Just asking.

  24. Jung Kim says:

    The largest population we serve from our operation is hispanic families 150-200 weekly ……and asians are between 20 – 30 families (5 years ago we started with only 5-7 asian families). Others white/black 15- 25 families.

  25. Jung Kim says:

    Our people needing help were usually from those families with gambling/alcohol addiction problems in the past but now we see more from families unable to finding jobs.

    Definitely immigration reform can alleviate some of our social problems.

  26. Bo May says:

    Good, so how many viet homeless person out there?

  27. this is my first time seeing viet homeless killed viet homeless.
    I have seen viet cong killed viet nam cong hoa, viet nam cong hoa killed viet cong, viet cong killed viet kieu, viet kieu killed viet gian, viet minh killed viet …
