Letter: Potentially unsafe situation at ‘Eddie’

I agree with Von Kenric Kaneshiro (“Increase HPD’s budget and officer headcount,” Star-Advertiser, Letters, Jan. 25).

I live on the North Shore and rode my bike down Kamehameha Highway during the Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational to see if the beaches toward Haleiwa were walkable with dogs. At one of the unpaved parking lots, there was a young man ranting, facing some bushes. When he saw me looking at the beach and then him, he seemed more agitated. I felt unsafe and I left. I briefly thought of calling the police but figured they had more important things to do.

Behind us on the road there was the entourage of people heading north. I hope he stayed yelling at the bushes.
