just happened. Driver fled. Don't know what kind of car. Make or model.
Our lawmakers are targeting the wrong people. More people were killed by cars than firearms last year. It's a tragedy.
There should be an Assault Vehicles Ban.

In response to the crash, Hawaii Bicycling League's Co-Executive Director, Daniel Alexander said:

    "That’s horrendous. I think this is the first time that I’ve ever known three pedestrians were killed at one time. I’m a little dumbstruck by hearing this. The main thing, our hearts and thoughts go out to everyone of the victims’ families this is just -- traffic violence whether someone is getting hurt or someone is getting killed, has no place in our society."

great term.
I ride my bicycle to work.
Let's ban these assault trucks - especially this Ford F-150. No one needs these vehicles of mass destruction.

No one needs to travel faster than horseback.  Limit all vehicle top speeds to 25mph and ban alcohol.  I believe speed and alcohol were factors.  Hawaii's knee jerk politicians have to do something, you know, how they do with guns.

Driver is Micronesian and was on probation (HOPE Program).

Judges should be held accountable when they give light sentences and people get hurt/victims.
