Teachers have the responsibility.
If they aren't up to it, then they should not be
entrusted with ours kids, lives and minds.
We are repeated reminded cops aren't here to protect you
they just enforce the law. Hawaii is pretty warped in that area
as the laws don't allow you to protect yourself in public, which
is a problem when the cops are 20 to 60 minutes away.
BTW; Never talk to cops, ever!
I never have and never will call a cop for help mainly because they
are the most dangerous people I know of. They can kill indiscriminately
and get away it. Even soldiers have a UCMJ and their personal honor
to direct their actions. Local cops are a Political, union member, loose cannon
with a Glock 17 or M4 carbine.

This makes me wonder.
If an LEO has no duty or obligation to protect, then who is responsible for the safety of children in a school, hmmm?
The teacher? the janitor? cafeteria worker?
I agree retrying Deedy for any lesser charges under the same crime (murder, manslaughter, aggravated assault) is double jeopardy. Those charges should have been included as choices for the jury. Too late to go back again (and again, and again).
The Deedy appeal was filed by Kaneshiro. I don't think he'll be going to the appeals court on behalf of the state now. The court may see him at some point on his own behalf once he's convicted of corruption.
Hopefully Kaneshiro's replacement is smarter and just takes the two losses he can blame on his predecessor.
Saw on the news last night, the case of guy who shot through the door was dismissed due to the prosecution taking an unreasonable amount of time to try him (civil rights violation). Charges were dropped without prejudice, meaning he can be charged again later.
Any updates on the following
1) The guy in Mililani who shot someone who was hopping the fence in his back yard. Last I heard no charges were filed against the homeowner.
2) Guy who shot at the Navy sailor who was trying to open his door and shot thru his door is not being charged yet. No charges on having an unregistered handgun either. Pending. Shooter is claiming self defense and had a cast on his foot.
Any other situations pending?
My last trip to Lanai in April i flew HAwaiian Airlines. Same as usual from HNL to LNY. They check my Pelican case, throw in the firearms card, hang out for 10-15 min and if nobody comes out then Im golden.
Now When I flewback from Lanai on HA, the HA agent tells me something new Ive never heard of. She asked if I had ammo and I said yes. I told her its in the cooler, seperate from my gun case which is okay. So I asked her about the rules if I can I put my ammo in the same case as my rifle? She said yes, but it has to have the foam cut out to place the ammo box in its own spot.
Im ok with following rules for everyones safety, but I hate how its different every trip. Nobody knows the rules or just make up their own.
yeah, something wrong with these Hawaii Judges. "The Hawaii Judge" is now a regular joke nationwide.
Especially when it serves to keep the anti-Second Amendment movement going for liberals.
They have gone quiet on this one just like that black trans-whatever months back, does not fit the desired narrative.
Most active shooters end up killing themselves so I think the major benefit of these two surviving is that we can study them and find out what led up to their act.
The 9th Circuit is so notorious among congressional Republicans that as recently as the last Congress, they held hearings to consider splitting up the circuit geographically, on the premise its rulings, which once applied to a reported 4 percent of the country, now cover 20 percent of Americans — too much liberal influence, perhaps.
But that’s about to change. Once the president’s current 9th Circuit nominees are confirmed, there will be 12 GOP appointees among the court’s 29 full-time judges with one vacancy left for the president to fill. Almost half of the bench will lean right. Thanks to Trump, the liberal 9th Circuit will be liberal no more.
My anti-2a dad asked my thoughts about this today.
Told him Hawaii's the only state to deny all permits. He said, well there are those who are not as "cool headed" as myself so he agrees. Told him rights do not work like that. He then brought up that parking stall situation in Florida where they guy was shoved to the ground. I told him, if that happened to me in Vegas when I carry, that might be a possibility also. The guy who was shoved was assaulted by another person. So I told him, how about don't assault anyone and everything will be ok. But I also told him, I would not argue over a parking spot or anything. I deescalate situations and walk away before it gets to that point. I would even apologize to the person, even when I know I'm right.
Told him he's being conditioned by the media. Gave him FBI/CDC stats on self defense usage and he didn't want to hear it. And stats about those killed with guns from unwarranted situations about 1700 IIRC from 2017 FBI stats. Remove the suicides, self defense, gang/criminal, accidents. And how 500K-1 million use for SD. So only a small percentage may be "not cool headed".
He then said that the 2a was written when muskets were around. Told him, so does the 1a only apply to paper and pen and not computers and technology. Bill of RIghts written to withstand the test of time. That's why they said "arms" and not "muskets".
He then brought up his "feelings" and again told him rights don't go based on feelings. Used Islam as an example for freedom of religion.
So just to show, there's no logic that can be used to change someones anti 2a stance until something happens to them. But he did kind of have an "oh" moment when I mentioned rape and how a gun can give the victim the best chance.
"At the core of the Second Amendment is a citizen’s right to have in his and her home for self-defense common firearms," wrote Judge Benitez. "As evidenced by California’s own crime statistics, the need to protect one’s self and family from criminals in one’s home has not abated no matter how hard they try. Law enforcement cannot protect everyone."
"[A] magazine is an essential mechanical part of a firearm," said the judge. "The size limit directly impairs one’s ability to defend one’s self. Neither magazines, nor rounds of ammunition, nor triggers, nor barrels are specifically mentioned in the Second Amendment. Neither are they mentioned in Heller. But without a right to keep and bear triggers, or barrels, or ammunition and the magazines that hold ammunition, the Second Amendment right would be meaningless."
