Heard a report this morning that the prosecutors office won't be pursuing charges against the shop owner.

Score 1 for the good guys!!!!!

So much ignorance and flat-out stupidity displayed by several members on the FB page.  That FB post was FAIL from the get-go.  When individuals continually display a one-track minded, witch-hunt like agenda focused at someone, something, or some agency, there is absolutely no chance for reasonable discussion.  It does not matter if your opinions or disdain for the person or entity is even justified or not. 

It gets even more hilarious when some of the posters show more of their ass when they don't even know what they are talking about when it comes to arrested vs. charged.  Have they ever taken a basic firearms safety or CCW course, or thought enough to educate themselves on Hawaii Law and how the system works?  Love it or hate it, it makes them look more like babbling idiots with an agenda stuck up their ass and it is hard to take anything they say after that seriously. 

HPD Officers involved in a homicide gets booked.  Charges are up to the Prosecutors office and while evidence can change, it would seem unreasonable for the liberal-leaning prosecutors' office to release someone from custody, especially on a murder charge, unless if they had very good reason to do so.  So the system in place seemed to be applied equitably in this instance.  Now one may not like the "system" that Hawaii follows and that is another valid discussion, but some show they cannot have a reasonable and/or intelligent discussion.  Sad when we blame the left for unreasonable behavior about the 2nd Amendment when they are clearly ignorant about firearms and then those on in favor of the 2nd Amendment and self-defense act just as poorly.  We blame liberals for behavior like that and the same damn thing happens from gun owners.  Sad indeed.   

I 2nd what Surf said.  Although I wouldn't be as blunt.

People saying this might be the guy who left his friend for dead.

I don't have the Facebook but it sounds that some people think Goodrich used excessive force. Sheez the guy was attacked at his business by at least 2 people.

What Surf is saying is the 2a community is using the BLM playbook for this case.

Minus the rioting.

well, if I'm that bumbling idiot or ass; then mods please take this post down. Forgive my ignorance.

What I see as stupid is why is his friends, family, acquaintances, hanging outside of the guy's business trying to intimidate the guy? If they were going to retaliate, they would've done so. It's almost like high schoolers waiting outside of class until the end of 6th period gym to beat the guy up. Come on now. He may be damn well legally carrying now in his place of business.

I was not following what was going on on the Oahu Gun FB page today. Sounds like I was lucky I wasn't.

He should apply for CCW now while he has a significant, articulable threat to his and his employees' safety.  If the Cops couldn't help him from across the street first time, they can't tell him, "Just call 911".

Yeah, Hard to call 911 while someone is punching you in the head.

I certainly would as well as document with video every encounter with his acquaintances. Sadly I hope he doesn't lose his a$$ in a civil lawsuit.

Hey man, sorry if I came across wrong with your post.  I have no issues with the post you made here.  If you had seen the train wreck of a discussion on FB than you would probably understand.  Of course, a train wreck is only my description of my opinion, but it is obvious that a few in that discussion on FB see things very differently.  And yes Zippz is correct in that some on our side use the same scumbag and "mob mentality" tactics as those we are repulsed by on the left.  It happens on this forum from time to time also and we have had discussions about that and how it turns off many new members who never return.  But now we are drifting into dead horse beating.

Seems like folks on both sides can get caught up in twisting words or also falling for how the MSM presents the story. 

I have no idea about the FB page in question nor do I care to venture there, but someone I respect got all wound up in response that the shop guy (that was apparently defending himself) was reported to have been arrested for murder and held.  I wasn't following the story that closely, but what I did see what that he was arrested for homicide, which is what I understood was the standard procedure no matter the apparent cause/fault/etc.  Yeah, that probably sucks for what appears to be a clear case of self-defense, but if that's the proper procedure, that's the proper procedure.  Have to get to the facts and sometimes that takes time.  Anyways, had the guy actually was arrested for murder and charged, that would be a different story. 

So many jumping to conclusions and many times based on bad information or many times bad reporting.  Like that incident where a cop was reported to have shot an unarmed man when he was on the ground.  As it turned out from video that was technically true as the first shot was when the guy had a gun in his hand and second shot was in about a second when the guy threw his gun over the fence and was falling to the ground.  If the news only reports "officer shoots unarmed man shot while on the ground surrendering", then yeah, that's something else.  But after watching video of the incident, you get a different story.  Also, keep in mind that much of the analysis has the benefit of slow motion and in the comfort of an office environment, where your heart rate is at it's normal resting rate. 

He should apply for CCW now while he has a significant, articulable threat to his and his employees' safety.  If the Cops couldn't help him from across the street first time, they can't tell him, "Just call 911".

Unfortunately I heard the guy has a shady past as well, otherwise, if he was 2a friendly, he could make it a point to apply for CCW.  Chalk it up as a missed opportunity.

This story goes a lot deeper.  From what I’m hearing on the Windward side,  this might have been a shake down and trying to extort money.  Maybe Nalo Mafia sh!t... The guy that got stabbed, tried to hold up a gambling house in town last month.  Security guy took him down.  Plus he had a loaded pistol with 15 rounds.

Here’s that article...

15? That's a lot of bullets, there should be a law...
