Waianae girl, 13, arrested in assault of education worker

A 13-year-old girl at a Waianae-area school was arrested Thursday after she allegedly assaulted an education worker after being removed from a classroom for causing a disturbance.

The incident occurred at 12:50 p.m. and the student was arrested on suspicion of second-degree assault on a 49-year-old man.

The student was released later that day pending further investigation.

    Even the young girls out there are violent. What a culture.

    • DeltaDag says:

      At least she wasn’t body-slammed (deliberately or accidentally) or we’d never hear the end of it.

    • thos says:

      “out there”

      There is nothing attractive about such cultural bigotry.

      The AJA saturated DOE is rife with institutional racism that targets the children of Samoan and Hawaiian ancestry – – which explains why the schools there are so shabby and underfunded and why these good, decent kids (most of them) are routinely subjected to bigotry of low expectations.

      • allie says:

        I am an indigenous Mandan and have worked with many DOE AJA’s. I have never seen any bias toward Hawaiians. There might have been some in the past but certainly it would never be tolerated now. Your views appear outdated.

        • thos says:

          You have seen – – and NOT seen – – what you wanted to see and not what you wanted not to see.

          I saw it first hand from 1994 to 2000, the shabby way those students were treated by DOE.

          “I saw it first hand from 1994 to 2000, the shabby way those students were treated by DOE.” Are those the years you went to high school?

          On April 29, 2016 at 3:44 pm, primo1 asks: Are those the years you went to high school?

          Those are the years I TAUGHT school in that community.

    • thos says:

      Many may recall some two decades ago when an intermediate school girl in that area cold cocked a cafeteria worker who was trying to break up a fight between this girl and another. The woman was dead before she hit the deck, leaving a husband and ten children.

      DOE — justifiably frightened of a law suit for damages for dereliction of duty – – hustled that girl off campus with blazing speed and “disappeared” every trace of her from the school. No one saw her again.

      I will always regret the widower did not get a legal shark and take DOE for several million dollars in punitive damages – – which was more than warranted.

    • allie says:

      The article never identifies her ethnicity or race. Nor do we know the full story or circumstances. Wait until the investigation is complete please.

      • thos says:

        And if DOE “performs” as it usually does, you never will get all the details. DOE excels at tap dancing away from all accountability, especially when something like this happens. They’ll use the excuse of an ongoing “investigation” in hope that the apathy and disinterest of a fickle public will give them the opportunity they need to stuff this down the memory hole, never to be heard from again.

    it starts at home.

    Have a bed ready 5 years from now in WCCC.

    • thos says:

      DOE’s school to prison plan for Leeward District students – – especially those of Samoan and Hawaiian ethnicity – – is alive and well.

      Behind closed doors, the AJAs who populate DOE at saturation levels refer to them as “those people.”

      • roughrider says:

        My AJA cousin and her AJA husband have been teaching and coaching at Waianae-area schools for decades. As for bigotry, I guess you see it each morning when you look into your mirror.

        • pohaku96744 says:

          Right on roughrider……..it comes around eventually, just gotta be patient.

        • gmejk says:

          The lady who was stabbed to death in Ewa was a long time Waianae High School teacher….an AJA also. I don’t think I read a bad thing said about her by her former pupils or their parents in connection to her race or what you perceive to be contempt for the students not of her ancestry.

        • DeltaDag says:

          No, nothing bad was ever said about the teacher, Asa Yamashita. Racism probably had little or nothing to do with her murder; she was just sitting down minding her own business when she was randomly targeted by a nut.

        • thos says:

          Oh yeah?

          Then how do you account for the difference AJA students are treated at Pearl City by DOE and the dismal way students of Hawaiian and Samoan ancestry are treated on the Leeward Coast, eh?

          The oft repeated notion by DOE that there is so called “funding equity” is a flat out lie.

        • WizardOfMoa says:

          rough rider, nice rebuttal! Classy!!

      • kimo says:

        Hey thos. What say all the non-AJAs round up all the AJAs and send them back to Japan. Include anyone with even a drop of that nasty AJA blood. Nevah mind how many generations they’ve been here. Then fill all their positions with Non-AJAs. Why stop with Hawaii? Do the same on the mainland and the rest of the world. Dump them all in Japan. Then nuke those islands to get rid of the vermin once and for all. That should solve the problem of public education on the Waianae Coast. After that, all the students will perform really well, go to college, and get good-paying jobs. But, God forbid if the problems persist, then you could single out all Asians. Round them up and send them back to Chine, P.I., Korea, wherever they came from and nuke them. If public schools are still underperforming, then scoop up all the whites and send them back to Europe. Don’t forget to nuke them, too. And if that doesn’t work and the public schools are still junk, then round up all the Samoans and send them back, too, and nuke them. Hard work, but should pay off in the end.

          Reductio ad absurdum can be a very effective debating tool when used with skill.

          In your case, while you have ‘absurdum’ down pat, your ‘reductio’ needs a lot of work.

        • thos says:

          In other words, don’t give up your day job.
