I am sure you understand that the individual that you are quoting belonged to a questionable administration and is no longer with HPD. He was also not well received by other admin and the guys and gals on the street. Don't think that his views were a reflection of all.

According to the news, the stab victim is still alive.
Regardless, this is just another example of soft judges.

Yes I fully understand but that does not change my opinion.

people are under some sort of misguided impression that the police are there to protect you. They are not your body guards, and will not protect you unless they happen to witness someone attacking you. The rich and powerful have body guards, you are responsible for your own safety and self defense, even if you're stripped of your 2nd amendment rights.
Police are 'law enforcement" officers. After you are stabbed, beaten, raped, robbed, killed, they will show up. Depending on the circumstance, they may write up a cute report and send you on your way or attempt to catch the criminal that assaulted (past tense) you.

Yup exactly. I was being sarcastic. Our government, both feds, state and C&C, whittle away at our 2a rights, leaving us with little to no means to protect ourselves. When I broach this very subject with my HPD LEO nephew he clams up and ignores the subject. Any subject or discussion that has to do with HPD is met with the same response. The “blue code of silence” at its finest! Oh well. Like I’ve told him and others; I will arm myself and use deadly force if needed. Better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6. I’ve lost a lot of respect for HPD.

Could you explain how HPD could have handled this situation better?
-
More info....
He was never arrested, just went to mental evaluation.
The doctor let him out.
The stab victim is alive but brain dead.

Police identified Midel as the same man who allegedly wielded a knife inside a Ross Dress for Less store in Kaneohe.
According to a police spokeswoman: "Officers transported the suspect to a hospital for a mental health evaluation
but did not arrest him after Wednesday’s incident. The department is currently looking into the incident
to ensure that departmental procedures were followed."
Maybe, HPD could have actually charged the man for wielding a knife in the Ross store? That could have been reason enough to kick him out of the YMCA, too.
Without charges, and without the mental health evaluator detaining him, they basically let a man back out in public who is demonstrating violent behavior.

Catch and release is the hawaii way

Here we go again. A convicted murderer is allowed to go free then arrested and charged with another violent crime.

Everyone should be outraged at this kind of performance by our criminal justice system.
The guy needs to take a dirt nap.

Well, at least SOME people are outraged. Who knows, maybe even most people are outraged? The problem is, outraged or not, they keep voting for the same progressives (aka Democrats) who appoint the same kind of judges who keep allowing these criminals to repeatedly harm innocent people. No amount of outrage will overcome the political reality that the vast majority of people here love the progressives and what they stand for and deliver. Including allowing criminals to repeatedly prey on the innocent. Disgusting. I'm outraged.

^^^This many Hawaii voters are very brain washed. They don't care or pay attention unless they're the victim of a crime. Following FB pages like SSH really opens your eyes.

Unfortunately yes. So many with the "it can't happen to me" mentality. Well, if these types of things happen to you/someone, you may not have the opportunity to learn from that mistake.
Books from G. Michael Hopf integrates that kind of thinking in to the story. I mean I'm not the most prepared, but at least I'm not blind or naive enough to leave my well being and that of loved ones to the comforting feeling of "it will never happen".

Murderer walks out of OCCC. How wonderful.

This probably belongs in the political section.
Our problem is not enough people vote. We have horrible voter turnout.
Union people crank out votes that the few rest of us cannot defeat.
The minority in this state runs this state.
There are not enough people in this state to generate much
outside interest in destroying the single party problem we have.
Our best bet is to get a more constructionist court system and to
overturn the un-constitutional laws we have to live under.
eg Young v Hawaii.

A lot of it has to do with the votes politicians need. Politicians dont want to look bad putting people in prison and building jails, forcing crazies to get treatment or keeping them away from the public, or being hard on the homless. Its easier for them to pick on law abiding gun owners.

It seems as if spending all that time last session with the legislators and their staff members hasn't really inspired you with great confidence in the motives of our "public servants". :worship:

Its a self sustaining cycle and ultimately determined by votes. You have to appeal to your district to win an election. Thats why a lot of republicans switch to democrat to win. If you are against something the majority wants and vote against it too many times, then the majority wont vote on your bills nor approve funding for your projects. Then you wont win reelection and be replaced with someone else.
We need a lot of strong and determined candidates with experience to run for office. This is difficult to do because it takes a long time to develop someone. Lots of money, long hours, and volunteering. Also strong supporters who will back them up. Also everyone to get out and vote, and volunteer to help others to get out. We dont have that here.
Also to regular people the pay isnt worth the money and hundreds of hours of extra work and stress to campaign for the possibility of being elected.

A bit like that here in parts of Aus at the moment, althought our police are denying theres even an issue, the sudanese ( not racist just fact ) that have come here recently have now had their first generation of kids which grew up a little and now they couldn't care less about the law, home invasions, car jackings, robberies you name it but unlike you guys we can't do squat to protect ourselves, your more likely to get charged defending your home than the perp is doing the crime, firearms are no where near as common or accessable as they are your side of the world, and self defence with a firearm? Forget it.

It's because you and even the UK don't control the media. Look at the people Tommy Robinson did a story on for rape. The media there posted the pics of some of the 250 men and labeled them as "Asian".

100% the media can write and spread what they like, and unfortunately the message is anti - self defence and anti - firearms

I will be in Australia most likely within the next couple of months. I will be interacting with private security, former LE and Aus Military forces. I am eager to ask questions and get opinions on many topics happening there domestically.

Pack your short shorts, its going to be a killer summer thie year :(

It's been a pretty hot and humid summer here too. I'm definitely looking forward to cooler winter weather!
Where abouts are you in Oz? I have a few buddies from another gun forum that are from Oz. Funny blokes. One used to be a tug captain, but now is some sort of ranch hand. Another was an 18 yo with a bunch of Enfields. Another would introduce us to a bunch of Aussie slang. I think he kept saying something like "Bazza", which I tooks as sort of a "cheers" type greeting or good bye.

Yeah. I think one of them was an admin on an Oz gun forum. I signed up and posted here and there, but that was like 3-4 years ago.
