The Tragedy In Monterey Park. 

Can we finally say “Let’s go Brandon” and have it genuinely mean something sincere, supportive, and congratulatory? Brandon Tsay is a brave and awesome guy. I wish him, the victims, and their families well in their long recovery from this trauma.

Brandon didn't subdued him. "The shooter is 72-year-old Huu Can Tran. At one point they were looking for an Asian male 30-50 years old. This is all such a tragic mess that didn't have to happen. If a 72 year old didn't have access to guns, he sure as hell wouldn't have killed 10 people with his fists," wrote another. This is the 5th Mass Murder and the 33rd Mass Shooting of the year," tweeted a user.

@@archangeldo913 Mass shootings are not the Super Bowl. This is not a sport, and there are no winners. You know there is going to be another one… Your nonchalant attitude towards the victims is a little unnerving.

@@environmentalnews6040 your opinion

Brandon is my hero ❤

was the shooter chinese? viet name but says hes chinese

Pray for them 🙏🙏🙏😓

@@tednguyen7258 💯 % viet. Huu can means cocaine

@@tednguyen7258 most likely Chinese Viet which is also my family's background. The 626 area is heavily populated with Chinese from Vietnam who fled during the war, and it's very common for them to adopt Viet transliterations of their Chinese names. So Chan/Chen would be Tran for example. The ballroom dancing community there is by far and large of Chinese descent (my family friend is part of it and she and her husband were actually the main couple in the doc short "Walk Run Cha Cha), which he was involved in at one point. As to why they say he's a Chinese immigrant? Could be that he left Vietnam to study in China and later moved to the US (eg my family friend left Vietnam to study in Taiwan and lived there several years before moving to 626, hence she has dual Taiwanese/US citizenship despite being born in Vietnam). Could also be a clerical error as the US govt was very lax about checking paperwork back then, and some uneducated white boi govt official mistook his Chinese heritage as meaning he was born in China (eg my aunt, despite being born in Vietnam, is listed as born in China on her US passport, the US govt couldn't put in two shits of effort to better parse that info out lol). Highly unlikely he's ethnic Viet who is from China, there's not that many of them, and even less likely those ethnic Viets would move here as China was not the one besieged by war at the time. There was little reason for them to flee compared to the refugees from war-torn Vietnam.

Very sad.

God bliss!

its really crazy, never expected this. people that live here are in a comfortable bubble so i think it shook many :(

Its com to my awareness that there's some racist asians out here , please don't think we are all like that . I've com to realize its the bad narsisistic people in the world F@cking it up for the rest of us . Theres no race vs race its good vs evil .

No way 😲

Plus there was an Asian mass shooting last year in LA. Sounds like something needs to be done about all this Asian on Asian crime.

My condolences 🙏

I'm sorry 😔

wasnt even born when it was 818

@@tommys6596 I was born there when it was 213!

Thank you for sharing this. May you find assistance for yourself as you process this experience. Please take care of your health.

@@suite662 thank you. We are trying to take it easy but more importantly, be there for our community at this time. Appreciate your kind words friend ❤

I heard something like gunfire followed by sirens, too. I was in the South San Gabriel/Rosemead area. Thought it might be him doing a getaway.

same 🙏🏼

Knock it off. Those same Asian “brothers and sisters” have for the past two years demonized black people alone as the face of Asian hate. You think they share the same sentiments when black people die in South LA?

Mental health access has been difficult to obtain during the Covid-19 pandemic, because of sheer number of people needing therapy. Will the government offer to increase mental health resources during this time or at least invest significantly to train more people for the mental health field particularly for the Asian community would be helpful.

Gun culture. Why can no genius solve this problem? Is there not a solution?

I'm from Antioch, my brother was outside the mall and saw someone get shot in the parking lot.

Mental health it hate crimes

You are so smart. What if he couldn’t make new friends easily?

Canada had the Edmonton mass shooting where an Asian man killed 7 of his relatives including toddlers a few years ago…

@@timchen2550 Yeah, I know right. That's one. When we look at the stats of both countries. Canada only has a fraction of America. With the US, every few days there's a thing. In Chicago, where this sort of thing is common occurrence, some of them don't even make it to the news.

Army people seem to have ptsd

@@npcimknot958 Do you think he knew right from wrong? Was it a conscious decision to commit mass murder?

All our loves and bests wishes from Bryan in Lodi NJ

That’s the culture I grew up with in the 626. There also seemed to be a lot of Asian on Asian shootings. And I always thought MPK was one of the hotspots for that. Anybody remember WaChing, Viet boyz, and United Bamboo? As a teen I used to always live with caution and a little bit of fear. So when they say that this community never saw guns and something like this was inconceivable…. I was like 🤔

More than one…

@@environmentalnews6040 The entire community of dance, perhaps.

Imagine if Brandon didn’t stop the gunman…

Dude did you forget the vegas shooter??? The shooting involving Acalise? Yep they were young men!

Scalise

The scenario you just shared has been repeated in countless other ethnicities in the USA.

Thank you for addressing this matter. It is a major issue especially those older generations whose trying to balance between cultures and traditions living in America. Mental issue plays a big part. Sad to hear. Hope for the better new year and happy new year to everyone. Condolences to the victims and their families.

Condolences 🙏.

have you tried buying a gun in california?

@@basedviet Criminals have ways to bypass it. There are loopholes.

What do you think is the solution?

@@environmentalnews6040 you won’t like the answer

Some of the strictest gun laws were in place… the dude still got a hold of them. Also one thing to consider… now more than ever people are seeing therapists and psychiatrists, and taking medication to treat mental conditions….People weren’t doing that in the 50s and 60s, and people had a higher gun ownership rate back then… but mass shootings were non existent…. There is something else going on in this country… I can’t really put my finger on it, I have a feeling it has a lot to do with over prescription of meds…

The police have yet to find the “motive.” Someone thinks it’s because he didn’t get an invite to the Lunar New Year party.

But also, actually show people some real love, because everyone is worthy of love and respect, especially the “unlovable”. People see through the kind face and it really doesn’t help

If it’s asian it usually is mental /persona;/ retaliation beefs/..

I could not forget the Virginia tech as well. Theres some revenge going on he says his doing it for his brothers and sisters that have hurt as if he's saying it for people like him not his race.

@@npcimknot958 stop making excuses. Every community has a propensity for violence and Asians are not exception.
