Hey klastri, I think they’re looking for you. :-p
Drag, kl-asstray could be female? Too many hissyfits could be the clue?
scary
Oct. 25 and only now we’re hearing about it? Jeez.
Had to give him time to get away cause if someone actually turned him in, huge paperwork starts.
Nothing new. Sometimes HPD releases info same day, sometimes days or weeks later. Can’t figure it out.
Dude needs some cracks. Stealing is one thing, threatening bodily harm is a whole different story. I would have put that crumb on the ground and slapped on the metal bracelets.
or Supreme Court Judge, US General, President perhaps? Nice to see that racism is alive an well in Hawaii, I thought America has grown intellectually, but “butinski” shows that narrow minded attitudes still exist. I know I won’t be able to take any of your posts seriously in the future.
Thanks newbie. Must be new to Hawaii.
Okay, maybe kokocats is new… That only means that you’re trying to talk down to him/her from the bottom of a hole that you’ve been digging for a longer time.
if you call 40 years making a living, paying taxes and raising kids in Hawaii new. I have been reading your posts for years, I just don’t comment to see myself in print.
only 40 years? aie soose must be malihini
Nah, I doubt that a Supreme Court Judge, US General, or President would be shoplifting. With that said, I did find it interesting that “black” guys were summed up to be either crooks or pimps.
My guess is that the shoplifter is a thug that needed to steal to finance a habit. (whatever it may be, illicit or otherwise).
You might recall though, way back when, the Ass’t Chief being arrested for shoplifting from Sears?
for “but”
I also condemn the narrow-minded racism of a frustrated tiny person who seeks to blame others for his own shortcomings. (pun intended) and no, I am not new to Hawaii. I’ll bet you wouldn’t “joke” if the suspect were Samoan and you couldn’t hide behind anonymity.
(and sorry for the ethnic reference but I felt that I needed it here)
600 murders in Chicago. Add that to the crooks and pimps remark.
Looks like Micheal Brown
Early arrival for the Honolulu marathon?
That’s what I was thinking. Kinda looks like one of the previous front runners.
hey SA lets get to real news like 2 policeman in Iowa gunned down and killed in a ambush, suspect arrested.
Are you sure you want to jump on that one? The accused is is described as 5’11” with brown hair and green eyes.
You can expect Mr. oo to be active for a couple more days. The moon just past full.
I can hardly wait.
where did it say that? Anyway, I thought the dude was wearing a mask, at first.
From the same sources that say the suspect’s name is Scott Michael Greene and that he’s 46 years old.

I’m sure these characters took one look at the picture and couldn’t move on to the shoplifter fast enough.
Picture looks like one of the mainland immigrants.
Definitely not a Kamaaina !!!
Hmm. Hilarious. Other posters think like I do from their comments but only beat around the bush., afraid to tell it like it is in Hawaii.
Oh, you’re the man. I’m sure you also brag about the great courage you display when breaking wind in packed elevators.
So it is OK be a racist as long as others agree with you? Interesting, maybe you should use your real name instead of hiding your racism. Hawaii was a nice melting pot where we all got along. Seems that small minds like yours are starting to be the norm. Sad!
Let’s just ignore the majority of prison inmates coming from the minority of the population. Yeah, that’s ignorantly blissful.
“Let’s just ignore…”
Well, that’s what you do alright – every time the star of one of these little episodes is white.
Not. One. Peep.
It’s telling that a black shoplifter gets more indignant rage out of you guys than a white spree killer.
I don’t think like you do. Hate is destructive. I don’t think like Trump either and the reason I would never vote for him.
He has to update his resume.
This story is NOT about the race of the shoplifter. This story should be how the ban on plastic bags on Oahu has made it EASIER and encourages shoplifting. Because for many stores bags are not provided and they will charge 10 cents a bag at the checkout, many people have no choice but to carry large bags or backpacks with them into the store and which makes it difficult for stores to ban large bags or backpacks to be carried into their store. Just allow those biodegradable plastic bags at no charge because really doubt these type of bags do any harm to the environment. The heavy plastic bags that most stores charge 10 cents appear to be much worse for the environment than those thin biodegradable plastic bags stores and supermarkets used to provide.
Not in this case, based on the fact that police said the suspect threatened to hit an employee with a bottle when confronted about the items, it’s safe to assume his intent was to walk out without paying irrespective whether he was offered a free bag or not.
The plastic bag issue is not an issue. Bring your personal bags and put the items into the shopping cart, not into your personal bag or backpack. Once at the checkout the store bag boy can bag your items into your personal bags. No different than it was before just that you’re bringing bags with you.
