This afternoon, District Attorney Tony Rackauckas visited the Nguoi Viet Daily News to meet with the newspaper's management about the ongoing demonstration.

T-Rack was briefed by Anh Do, Nguoi Viet's editor-in-chief, on some of the threats made by the protesters against her company and employees.  The DA responded by saying that this is a grave matter and his department will prosecute anyone suspected of breaking the laws, including those who trespasses on the newspaper's property.

Nguoi Viet is also claiming that a foreign government is the moving force behind this protest to further undermine the Vietnamese American community in Orange County.  I'm assuming they're talking about the Communist regime in Hanoi.

It is a pleasant surprise to know that T-Rack is paying attention to this issue and he is willing to issue warrants and prosecute anyone suspected of criminal activities.

One of the protest leaders, Trong Doan, was recently arrested on assault and battery charges and his prosecution is still pending.  Ky Ngo, the other leading figure behind the protest is scheduled to appear before an Orange County Superior Court Judge on April 29 at 8:30 am.  I'm hearing that more arrests will take place in the near future.
