I'm Hawaiian /japanese so am I a Moke ?
A 'Moke', when used in a derogatory tense, is usually someone who makes the Hawaiian people look like complete fucking morons, and are therefore the embarrassment of our people. They tend to be individuals who believe that because they are of Hawaiian ancestry, everything they say/know about Hawaii its culture is correct. When speaking on issues within the Hawaiian community, they tend to blame a specific group of people, known as 'the evil haole man', for all the problems within the Hawaiian community. They then justify this point not with legitimate facts based upon the historical works of Hawaiian scholars such as Kamakau or Pakui, but rather from racist, idiotic, ideological ramblings from individuals of Hawaiian ancestry who, like them, can't speak their own language, know nothing about the true history of their people, and think that wearing HIC surf shorts with the island chain emblem, waving a sovereignty flag and having a Hawaiian last name and brown skin makes you Hawaiian, and that all the problems in their life are because the evil haole man stole their land and culture, all while they enjoy the luxuries and liberties that come with being an American.
i am not understanding where ccw comes into play here
yeah, ok, he's mouthy and advancing with his hands in his pockets, but at what point would you do anything with a concealed handgun?
please learn me
It comes into play because those who have been involved in situations like this know that if a guy is acting all crazy like, who knows what he might be capable of. Not sure if anyone here has had an aggravated individual pull a knife on them during an 'escalated conversation', or if anyone has seen or been blindsided with a brick or brass knuckles while attempting to take someone down, but that shit isn't fun to be apart of, and it sure isn't as romantic as they make it look in the movies.
Its funny how people say, 'yeah...I would have just beat his ass!' Ok...lets say you proceed to beat his ass, and he or his wonderful girlfriend in the background stabs you or somehow incapacitates you with some sort of designated/improvised weapon? You can give all the false cracks you want; I've seen too many individuals injured because they thought that they could Chuck Norris someone that they completely underestimated.
The firearm is, when used in these situations, an equalizer or gives its user the upper hand to take control of the situation. How does this video apply to CCW?
You ask him to stop and back up.
If he doesn't, you ask him again.
If he still doesn't, you tell him to back up with presentation of deadly force.
If he still doesn't, you neutralize the treat with deadly force, because anyone stupid enough to not take the first 3 hints and back off is probably stupid enough to seriously injure you.
Do you honestly think people would be acting like this idiot if CCW / Open carry were a normal practice? I highly doubt it. As the saying goes: 'An armed society is a polite society.'
Why do we carry firearms? So we can protect ourselves, our loved ones and our property from bodily injury/damage and/or death. If given the choice to neutralize the situation through unarmed combat or the ability to present/utilize deadly force, I am going to take the path of least resistance. And if you don't have what it takes to have that kind of mind set, then sit down and eat your lunch, because I hate you and you stole our land
P.S. I forgot that we could also throw cats and butterflies at possible assailants, so maybe the CCW argument is invalid at this point.
