Gang Members? What Gang members?

Posted by: Jubal | 05/19/2008 10:07 PM

The OC Register online story about Hoa's "alleged" gang banger campaign workers is accompanied by 5 photos labeled "Orange County Register Photos."

Which is strange, because two of them are booking photos and the other three are from the same batch of photos I received from (I presume) the same source. You can even buy them from the Reg: $29.99 will get you a nice 8X10 print of Hoa Van Tran with alleged Krazy Proud Criminals member "Dopey."

Be that as it may, here are some additional photos I hadn't previously posted - but first all start with one I already had:

One of the KPC campaign workers "tagged" the campaign corkboard the night of March 31. That could be a solution to Santa Ana's graffiti problem: erect giant corkboards and distribute free pushpins to urban Latino youth:

Here's Edgardo instructing the alleged KPC members to mix with guests at April 5 campaign kick-off to demonstrate Hoa's Latino support:

Here's the allegedly pistol-packin' Jose "Dopey" Najera posing for a phot I'm sure we'll see on a targeted Hoa Van Tran mailing. Judging from Misha Houser's description, he was sort of a wannabe Frank Nitti to Edgardo's Al Capone (although here he looks more like Sleepy than Dopey):

More of the alleged KPC gang members. There's Dopey again. Don;t know the names of the others:

And my personal favorite, returning for a second posting:

But don't ask Edgardo about these alleged gang members, because it's all news to him...according to him.

Where is Sean Mill in that picture? Isn't Sean a former KPC member? I mean, that has to be the reason why Mill is such a shill for Hoa.

Excuse me, I am a student from UCI, are tattoos a fashion statement for whites and a gang affiliation for non-whites? I understand that Republicans have the ability to profile much better than Democrats....profiling people on their looks and appearances NOT their behavior and conduct. Sounds like the OC Register left its Libertarian roots and accepted a fundamentally racist premise of these allegations at face value.

Huh?

Leaving your pretense of moral superiority aside, are you saying Misha is lying about these guys who worked in her office? She spoke specifically about their behavior and conduct.

Ha! This coming from a member of a party that divides it's party up into caucuses based on their looks and appearance.

The "DPOC" in your handle must stand for Democratic Profilers of Orange County.

Aw come on guys - gang bangers need representation too!

These guys show their tattoos and gang signs the same way any peckerwoods would. It doesn't matter what the color is, these guys are gang members. The tattoos. The gang sign gestures. The uniform blue clothing. The celebration of the Cowboys franchise thug culture. Tacking KPC around everywhere they go. Come on. With all of these clues together???

What happened to standing up for the truth? I thought Dems were supposed to fight for women's rights. There were damn few Dems who took this subject seriously last night. Very few considered what it must be like for the handful of women who have suffered at the hands of Edgardo and his thugs to walk to their cars and worry about being followed home.

At least Janet has taken steps to protect her workers. It's a shame neither Hoa or Phu would.

Quit trying to say this is racism. We all know that there are plenty of Latinos who could be working on this campaign. There are several who were there until the thugs showed up.

Last night's stage production was a joke. They should be ashamed of exploiting a bunch of kids to pull off an illusion of innocence. Oh, and the classic defaming Misha is a riot. I noticed the young people were handing out two of the fliers she designed while she was still with the campaign. The only one's that didn't have a bunch of typos I'll bet.

Misha told the truth and all you guys can muster is a bunch of threats and libel. It doesn't answer the fundamental question, where's the field campaign Edgardo? In two weeks you can crawl back into the hole you came out of and the women who spoke out about your harassment and abuse will be able to breathe a little easier.

Ha-Ha-Ha, just one more funny thing to talk about here. Just when we thought you couldn't write the story of the First Dist and the fun was over, good old Hoa Van Tran pulls another rabbit out.

Maybe he has Trungs old staff that was involved in the Photo Shop incident. Can you imagine his gang member buddies working on the Fifth Floor? Ha hahhaha.

Time to quit guy, when your own party tries to resend and disconnect from you...

liberalocdem said:

If Misha told her truth. I really can't believe you would guide yourself from the comments of a disgruntled employee who was fired because of her inefficiency in the campaign. Maybe we should ask her that instead of bad mouthing the campaign and its volunteers.. When do you plan on returning the stolen campaign property misha?????????????

As soon as you decide to end your blind support of a Puppet candidate and spewing the lines that Edgardo gives you and pays you for.

It looks to me like the purpose of these gang members on the Hoa Van Tran campaign is to cause voter intimidation and intimidation of the staff and volunteers of the rival campaigns.

This kind of intimidation may be a civil rights violation under state or federal law.
