Brave [Cambodian-American] Clerk Battles Robber

Jan 7, 2009
KIIITV News (Texas, USA)

She was closing up for the night, and ready to go home to her two young children when she was brutally attacked. A Flour Bluff convenience store clerk became the victim of a robber on Monday of this week. She's now speaking out about what happened.

The victim is from Cambodia. 34 year old Yin Kaing, who is a small woman, was closing up for the night when she was punched straight in the face. The beating was much more than a punch in the face, and that's why she's still hospitalized. She appears to be terribly dizzy, and she's unable to speak about the night of her attack with out crying.

Kaing says her children saw her yesterday and they cried. We visited her Wednesday in her hospital room. On Monday, she was brutally beaten and robbed.

Her husband says he was in Rockport when he received news his wife was seriously injured. Vily Long says he went 95 miles an hour all the way to the store where his wife was working for the first time on the night shift.

"I was so very nervous that night," said Long. "I couldn't recognize my wife's face. It was all swollen bad."

"He hit me you know very strong, and I fell down," said Kaing who says she had keys to the store in her hands. She would surrender those keys, but she says the attack didn't end there.

"He kicked me with feet. He didn't stop."

The man police say attacked Kaing is 18 year old Wesley Lavender. He was arrested the night of the attack.

Struggling with English as their second language, the family asked attorney John Perry to come in and help communicate their needs. The family believes had it not been for a customer, the beating would have continued.

"That customer interrupted him," said Perry. "He (Lavender) ran outside the store dropped his cell phone got into the car, or ran is what I understand and then they called 911, so he didn't even make up with anything except for a set of keys."

The night police arrested Lavender they say he confessed to the attack, officers say he had bloody clothes, bloody knuckles and the keys to the convenience store.

For now the tears are still there, and while husband, Vily Long's English might be broken, his worried face you can read. He believes his wife might have been killed had a customer not scared his wife's attacker away.

11:12 AM, it's you again. Mr. Wis-damn.
Oh! confusing. You're Mr. Wis-don-key.
That would be great to see your comment.

"Ah Pleu-oversea is a slave of ghetto". If I didn't misinterpret, you want to told us that, "You're also a slave in the tribe."
Is it right?
Or you want to share that, "You felt painfully when they kicked a slave like you."
Is this a correct one?

If my translation was wrong. Please keep in mind, "You're still a slave". That's what you deserved.
