The picture is one of a group of people paying respect to South Vietnam’s military dead. The altar was put up by Ky Ngo and other protesters against Nguoi Viet around the time of Vietnamese New Year in February, about a couple weeks after the protests began. It has been kept there since then, until recently when the landowner asked them to move it.

The accusation in the Nguoi Viet piece was that Ky Ngo and the Nguoi Viet protesters are communist tools, and the people who visit their altar are too.

The photo appeared in black and white on Nguoi Viet’s printed paper, but the online version is in color and shows more clearly one of the individuals in it.

See that person holding the joss stick, marked with “X”? That’s Bill Dalton, Garden Grove Mayor.

Heh heh heh. Good thing Dalton’s not running for anything.
