Bet you no more that smile on your face, eh?
To bad he didn’t resist arrest and get shot dead. Would save tax payers a lot of money.
Gangster thug lives matter too! LOL
BGLM. Some dumbgooddoers want more of them in prison ad1 wants more of them killed. I approve ad1 opinion.
Allaha, it was sarcasm. Of course I agree with ad1. I’ve always promoted swift and fair execution in the legal system rather than wasteful incarceration. But for those getting incarcerated, I preferably would like to see the legal system to make actual use of these violent felons by forcing them to become mandatory organ donors as partial restitution to the public.
Looks like he could have had a good life but gambled it away .Stupid.
Must be the Kalihi Neighborhood Watch. This guy running around in Kalihi probably stuck out like a sore thumb.
I wonder if he has any connection to organized crime.
the dreadlocks was the giveaway to his identy, did he ditch it to hide from the neighborhood posse and HPD?
There are these gambling dens in almost every neighborhood. HPD knows about them but does nothing. There is one in Kaneohe less than a block from the police station.
I think HPD closed a bunch down and confiscated the games but the courts ended up ruling that HPD couldn’t confiscate and close the rooms. So they had to give back the games and they reopened. Seems that the courts and rights of citizens are the ones keeping the rooms open and limiting the enforcement that HPD can do.
Too bad he didn’t try to shoot it out with the police. He would have been shot dead. Wait a minute, guess he doesn’t shoot at people who have guns and can shoot back. Hmmmmm….
I was about to say, that’s a really good picture.
I know my reality TV entitlement is driving me crazy too.
I bet they would have caught him a day earlier had they released his name and picture right away. They knew who he was, as he was an employee of the game room, but all HPD released was his height, weight and his “cornrows” description.
Cornrows are a dead giveaway. No need to ask for more. BLM no? No.
The bad guy was taken into custody. What more do you want them to say??? Are you looking for a blow-by-blow description of how the whole scene went down, like the script to a TV crime show?? Do you need to know what color shirt he was wearing, or what kind of plate lunch he was eating when they caught him, or what??? They got they guy they were looking for. End of story.
Yep, I want the details. Shirt, plate lunch, and who the scum that was hiding him.
Blacks Lives No Matter, another one just threw his away.
We’ll be paying for this gerie his whole life because he ain’t getting out.
To bad, he watch too much TV when he was small.
Was girlfriend hiding him after his picture was shown and possibly aired? Abetting?
