HI Dem turns vigilante on homeless

[RogueBeaver]

Sledgehammering their shopping cards and shaking people sleeping in bus shelters. Obviously a cum laude graduate of the Brothers Ford School of Local Government.

If the Democrats had any sense, they'd kick this clown out of the party.

Disgusting. He should be in jail.

[rejectamenta]

Hopefully one of them takes a sledgehammer to a better target, worthless f***er.

Disgusting. He should be in jail.

This. Disgusting.

[Bandit3 the Worker]

We need to call it what it is: fascism.

According to the article, he walks up to homeless people and says, "Get your ass moving." If anyone said that to me, I'd knock their block off.

Average Hawaiian Democrat

Tulsi Gabbard's Republican opponent was more or less a homeless guy, of course.

Also, the stores that own the carts need to file charges against him for destroying their property.

Please explain how this is fascism.

Also, the stores that own the carts need to file charges against him for destroying their property.

The only ones he destroyed were those he could not determine who owned them.  Those he could determine an owner for, he returned to the store.  Doesn't excuse his idiocy, but really, the stores have nothing to say here, except perhaps a concern that his actions will cause the homeless to pilfer more carts to replace the ones he's disabled.

Doesn't Hawaii have a massive problem with homelessness?

It sounds like it has a bigger problem with fascism.

Apparently, but I'm sure we all agree that this is hardly a solution.

What an asshole. I hope he is expelled from the legislature.

What an asshole. I hope he is expelled from the legislature.

I think criminal charges are in order. Menacing and possibly racketeering.

     Not to mention battery, disturbance of the peace, and destruction of property.

It's one guy.

Never said it was, but one of the things I have consistently heard about Hawaii over the years is that there is a bad homeless problem.  Just wanted to add a little context.

Also the article says he rouses them from sleeping at bus stops during the day but leaves them alone at night.  It kind of sucks to pay taxes for a bus stop and then have your wife and kid stand in the rain because some guy is sleeping in it... which I am sure is illegal.

The problem is a lot of homeless people have mental health issues.  They are not just lazy people who would rather get drunk and sleep under bridges.  So I can see a really volatile situation happening between some guy in desperate need of mental health services and a "tough guy" with a sledge hammer.  This type of thing is best addressed by people trained in these matters who have backup.
