      Often there is stinking disheveled creatures identifying themselves as humans riding the bus. They should be thrown out immediately. What a society where such are allowed to roam freely and contaminate us!

    Attacking a Honolulu City bus driver is a felony and can result in serious prison time. One reason why City bus drivers don’t hesitate to intervene to help their bus passengers, unlike the driverless Oahu train to nowhere where train passengers are on their own against bullies, punks, pervs, robbers, etc. No way HART can afford to pay for off duty HPD to be in each train car and every train station. Private security don’t help much just ask UH where even a UH security guard got jacked at knife point and the UH guard was begging for help to UH students who saw what happened.

      good points. I find the growing number of attacks by deranged homeless people against public officials and others very disturbing. This something that rarely happened in the past.
      I faced down an angry homeless person who was screaming at everybody and shaking his fist in Manoa. I smiled gently at him and remained calm. He oddly stopped and bowed and walked on. What a world.

    Ice makes the rubbish people crazy and angry in withdrawal. Passengers should carry knives, clubs, telescoping batons, and pepper spray. Once they’re down kill them and tell the cops you don’t remember anything. Others will say it was self-defense, and the cops will gladly write it up that way.

    Got to have my eyes and heart check! Can’t see what others are seeing. All this old eyes see is a fellow human in need of help and sick in mind and body. Got to find a way to harden my heart – darn that culprit call love infesting this heart of mine! That’s ok, got me the best doctor to help me. Gonna make an appointment with Doctor God!!
