I just can’t believe it. Your front-page headline, “Canceled N. Korea summit may leave Hawaii vulnerable to attack” (Star-Advertiser, May 25) is so ridiculous it’s hard to understand why you would print such nonsense.

Nobody in his or her right mind would think for one second that North Korea would ever attack Hawaii. North Korea is fully aware that the entire world would unite against it and reduce the tiny country to rubble within 24 hours of such an attack. North Korean leaders may act tough every now and then, but they’re not stupid.

I suppose fake headlines like this might generate public concern and possibly help sell newspapers, but in reality all it does is scare people for absolutely no reasonable reason.

Get a grip, people. North Korea will never, ever launch an attack on Hawaii, or anywhere else in the U.S. for that matter.

City blocks scooters, but mopeds ignored

The city impounded 90 Lime scooters that it classified as mopeds and therefore cannot be parked on the sidewalk (“Fines or jail time possible for Lime scooter riders, mayor declares,” Star-Advertiser, May 18). Yet the city is doing nothing about actual mopeds parked on sidewalks. This makes it look like it was specifically targeting Lime scooters because they were competition for the city’s pet project, Biki.

The city told Lime that it does not allow concessions of this sort on city property without proper authorization, and yet for the past four years, certain tour companies have been selling tours from mobile sales kiosks on the public sidewalk despite laws that make it illegal to peddle in Waikiki.

It was amazing to see how quickly the city could react when it was in its interest, and yet so many other things go uncorrected.

Bring June Jones back to UH football

I love University of Hawaii sports, but after being a football season ticket holder spanning four decades, I finally canceled my tickets this year.

I could not take any more bad football through the Norm Chow-Nick Rolovich years after watching great June Jones teams.

The athletics budget is a big mess, mainly because football revenues have dropped precipitously over the last seven or eight years.

Athletic directors David Matlin and Herman Frazier made major mistakes in not hiring Jones.

Bring back Jones and football revenues will jump by several million dollars per year and the budget deficit will shrink.

There are many ex-football season ticket holders who feel the same way.

Are you listening, Board of Regents?
