Man arrested in connection with 7 July armed robbery

http://www.staradvertiser.com/news/breaking/126159493.html

Note that he was previously convicted of kidnapping and abuse of a household member....so exactly how did he get the gun he used in the robbery?

Clearly the gun laws we have don't work!  We need to enact some additional, common-sense legislation to keep guns out of the hands of guys like this!!!!1  /sarc  ::)

Yep. In order to solve the problem of criminals who break laws, we need more laws that infringe the rights of the law-abiding non-criminals. It just makes sense.

Common sense; is not.

The current laws prohibit criminals from possessing firearms.

We do not need any more gun laws.

We need to simply enforce the current laws.

If we didn't spend millions of dollars a year prosecuting people for driving 10 miles over the speed limit then we would have the funds necessary to enforce the gun laws on the books already.

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

Just to make sure, that little rant about "common sense" gun legislation was sarcastic in nature.  (Any time you hear someone say the phrase "common sense" in regard to gun laws, common sense just said goodbye.  :D) Sometimes sarcasm doesn't come across correctly on the old interwebs, and I guess this was one of those times.  Sorry if I gave anyone the wrong impression.   ;)

I would agree with your post 100%, Kingkeoni.

Bicyclist stabbed in unprovoked attack

http://www.staradvertiser.com/news/breaking/126295263.html

Notice how there's never any mention of how the police were there to protect or help anyone.

They're too busy supplementing their income by writing tickets so they can go to court and get paid from HPD and by our tax payer dollars as witnesses for the state.

If I was ever elected to office that would be the first thing I'd change.

We waste millions of dollars a year to let them double dip for dollars.

I walk to work everyday in Waikiki, and I pass ena road every time, there's always a bunch of weirdos hanging out by the 7-11, I wonder if they caught the guy.

Elderly Man Dies After Attack at Bus Stop

http://www.staradvertiser.com/news/breaking/127573318.html

Appears to be an unprovoked attack on an elderly guy...too bad he didn't have a cell phone as that is all he would have needed to get the police there in time to prevent this attack.....

The most bizarre crime ever
« Reply #92 on: August 12, 2011, 09:23:26 PM »
Many years ago on Oahu there was the most bizarre crime ever.
If you're from Hawaii and old enough you might remember this.

There was a lady who wanted to kill her husband.

She went under a bridge and hired a big homeless guy named "Arti" to kill her husband.

He agreed to do it for one dollar.

She told the homeless guy to wait for her husband outside of Foodland Liliha, where he worked.

She decided to hide in her car in the parking lot to watch the killing.

At 10pm when her husband got off work this homeless guy approaches him and starts to choke the life out of him.

Another Foodland worker tried to stop the big homeless guy and the homeless guy turned to him and started choking the good Samaritan.

The wife watching all this realized that her plans had gone terribly awry and ran up to her hired killer and screamed at him to "Stop!"

She just startled him and he immediately starts choking the woman.

By this time the police arrived and arrested the homeless guy.



The next morning on the front page of the newspaper the headline read. "Arti chokes three for a dollar at Foodland."

I use my "weapon" to threaten my woman every night, but I can't say what kind of weapon.

This is My Rifle
Mark Maysey


Back in 69, I didn't have a care

Before they called my number, I chopped of all my hair

Said goodbye to mamma, dad and uncle Dan

Boarded an airplane and headed off for Nam

He called us to attention as we stepped off the plane

Checked us off a list as he called out our names

Then he picked up his rifle and raised it in the air

Grabbed his crotch with his other hand as we all stood and stared

He said...


Chorus
This is my rifle

This is my gun

One is for killing

The others for fun

So until this war is over

Or until your time is done

This is your rifle and this one is your gun


Thirty years have passed since I stepped off that plane

The nightmares haven't ended and neither has the pain

I've drank my share of liquor and smoked my share of grass

But I can't unload the memories or these few words from my past


Repeat Chorus

Well, a dear friend of mine finally called it quits

They found him one cold morning laying in a ditch

A bullet through his brain, his rifle at his side

And one old rusted dog tag from 1969


When they turned his body over they found his written note

It wasn't but a few lines, but the last he ever wrote

And when they laid him in his grave on that cold December day

I took those words he'd written and I began to play


Repeat Chorus

Back in 69, I didn't have a care

Before they called my number, I chopped off all my hair

Armed robbery in Waikiki

http://www.staradvertiser.com/news/breaking/127811883.html

Note how the fact that a gun was used by the criminal couple is hidden in the story versus in the title of the piece....no, they're not twisting the reporting for their own anti-gun propaganda.....

Armed men impersonate police and rob house

http://www.staradvertiser.com/news/breaking/128219498.html

Wow! What would you have done if this happened to you? And, notice how the media reports it as a robbery rather than an armed home invasion?
