That's so fucked.. is it mistaken identity? Or just a friggin nutjob? Why the hell are acid attacks such an Asian thing.

cunninglinguist 02-18-2019 10:24 AM

There's got to be more to this story. A gang of people won't throw acid on his face and cut up his legs for nothing.

For what its worth: some comments on Reddit have suggested the this couple had enemies in Canada who might have contacted people in Vietnam to carry out the attack. Someone else also claims the victim's brother is one of the main suspects.

Vietnamese on vietnamese crimes arent random.

Own a “nail salon” = you’re into shady shit lol

Verdasco 02-18-2019 12:50 PM

ya isn't it strange that a couple of vietnamese stories popped up recently asking for donations?

very suspect unless 100% confirmed true...

maybe a rival nail salon ordered the hit

I asked a couple of viet friends about it. Apparently acid attacks are as common as shootings in Surrey. Usually how wives get revenge on mistresses.

File it away. You’ve nailed it.

The scary part of this is that it seems random, but how will we know if it's actually random or not?

twitchyzero 02-18-2019 03:33 PM

you guys should be focusing on this

really messed up if true...you look at the case on the 2 officers in Cuba, the ongoing detentions in China, etc...Ottawa sure likes to sit around when our own gets into awful predicaments abroad...yet we're relatively swift to accept refugees..where's the balance?

It only needs to balance for PQ votes.

Nguyen told CTV Vancouver via video chat from a hospital room in Bangkok. "I had my purse on me but he didn't come get me. He just went straight for my boyfriend."

“The attackers were prepared. It all happened so fast,” Nghiem said.

A source told Tuoi Tre that Nghiem had previously had conflicts with his older brother, who also lives in Canada.

The victim believed the brother, who was also in Quang Ngai for the holiday, was behind the assault, the source added.

Police officers tried to impose an exit ban on the suspect but he had already returned to Canada.

AzNightmare 02-19-2019 01:49 AM

where is spiderman when you need him


On a serious note, I wonder where the older brother is now?

JDMStyo 02-19-2019 11:46 PM

Regardless of the gent's background - you'd think government will do to help one of our versus random refugees

He is not a citizen of Canada, therefore he is a citizen of ANOTHER country. Which is why the government of Canada cannot provide him assistance.

How is that so hard to understand?

Nlkko 02-20-2019 12:19 AM

Fucked up family brothers did brothers like dat.

yeah because Ottawa totally didn't let two officers rot in Cuba for 9 months and is still letting China deal with an ex-diplomat without any charges for "endangering security" and with lawyers/family denied

our gov't's favourite line: we will continue to monitor the situation

it's like any time it happens in communist shit holes, our foreign ministry just puts up its hand 'waste of effort, we shouldn't even try' LUL

also, yes hes technically not a citizen of Canada, but:

Quote:

As a permanent resident, you have the right to:

get most social benefits that Canadian citizens receive, including health care coverage,
live, work or study anywhere in Canada,
apply for Canadian citizenship,
protection under Canadian law and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration...pr-status.html

if we aren't helping people that's worked hard and jumped through so many stupid hoops to become taxpayers, why are we even helping refugees?
