Racist Lowlife Cops Plea To Interfering With Neighbors' Enjoyment Of Their Housing Rights; Admits To Using Threats Of Force To Injure & Intimidate Family Because They Were Of Vietnamese Descent; Conduct Frightened Them Into Vacating Their Home Of 20 Years

The U.S. Department of Justice recently announced:
  • John Blayne Vangastel, 37, of Klamath Falls, Oregon, pleaded guilty [] in the District of Oregon to one count of using threats of force to injure, intimidate and interfere with his neighbors in the enjoyment of their housing rights because they are a family of Vietnamese descent.

    According to court documents, on the evening of Dec. 30, 2015, Vangastel, who had been living next door to a family of Vietnamese descent for approximately three months, entered the family’s property without permission. Vangastel admitted that he then forcibly blocked their front commercial gate so that family members could not park their vehicles on their property after returning from work. When one of the family members told Vangastel to let go of the gate and get off of the family’s property, Vangastel told the family member to “push [him] off the property.” He then raised his hand and balled up his fist as though he was going to assault one of the female family members.

    Vangastel further admitted that he then repeatedly tried to instigate a fight with the rest of the family, threatening to hit them and making comments like, “You are trash;” “You are not even white;” and “You smell like salmon-fish.” He also told the family something to the effect of, “I’ll beat you because you are Asian,” and “You [expletive] Vietnamese – you don’t deserve to live here.”

    The incident was the culmination of Vangastel’s repeated intimidation of his neighbors, who had lived at their residence for 20 years without incident. As a result of Vangastel’s conduct, the family became so fearful that they moved out of their home.
