    Suspect is homeless, we do not put homeless in jail, that is want they want. State does not want to care for them. Watch the case where homeless robbed bank in Mapunapuna. So if you want to go to jail, you have to do something violent, even robbery don’t count. Cut a deal between attorneys , plead to theft, everybody wins execpt the guy that really wants to to jail.

    Stay clear of homeless people. Most of them are carrying some kind of weapon, usually a kitchen sized knife, because life is dangerous out there among the homeless.

      I noticed a lot of them carry heavy sticks that they say are canes. If one of us homeful people carried stuff like that, the cops would be hooking us up for offensively armed. But since they’re homeless….

  6. kiragirl says:

    The homeless (some of them) are doing it to themselves. They commit crime, do not clean up but make a mess where they are camping, and most of all, have no sense of pride and responsibility.

  7. Mr Mililani says:

    The freaks have taken over our Waikiki. Our family hasn’t been down there for a mini vacation in years. We used to love getting away for a bit to play tourist.

  8. bumba says:

    Put them in a shelter or put them in jail, doesn’t matter to me. Just get them off the streets and away from us.

  9. kekelaward says:

    What the hell is a dangerous instrument?

  10. lokela says:

    These types of homeless are the ones that need to be eradicated.

    Where are the “to protect and serve”? Issuing citations for seat belts and jay walking.
    We have to be more proactive. Just don’t wait for something to happen and show up.
