Russell Ruderman's fund raiser

[shockwave rider]

I don't know about you, but I am not particularly happy about having to go all the way to Hilo just to buy an ace bandage, cough medicine, or the other useful things available at Longs and Malama Market. There may be small stores and restaurants still open, but losing the last Pahoa drug store and largish grocery is a real loss.

Is a 90% empty shell of a shopping center really still a shopping center?

Don't know, Sativa(or Sativa like creature). Only know the good things done by Graham for my kids, their many friends, and the community over the years.

Same with Russell and Tiffany. In spite of being subject to human shortcomings; The good things they have achieved far outweigh the jealous, sputtering rantings of the envious non doers.

Well snorkle, You just don't want to know about, or accept, the illegal activities done by Graham. Has Graham smoked marijuana in front of your kids or your friends kids like he has done with others. Of course one might feel this is good if they themselves smoke pot in front of their kids. Most of your posts seem to come from someone who is high.

You must think Al Capone was a great guy since he did good things for his extended family and friends. But he did go to prison for all his illegal activities since one has to suffer the consequences of their illegal activities. So, Graham just might be deported for all his illegal activities that he did and tried to hide behind what you are calling good things. "Same with Russell and Tiffany".

Who are all these non doers who are jealous, sputtering and ranting? It's surely not RJ and Sativa who have done more for the Puna community than you could ever do. Yes, they have done many good things like start up the Pahoa farmers markets last of which was the Maku'u market, revived the Pahoa parade, revived the Akebono theater, got the new Pahoa transfer station built, Put on parties for all the local kids, and many more things. All Graham has done legally was start up the Volcanoes Circus. Most everything else he did was for self interest and mostly illegal.

Good comings can't justify illegal actions that must be addressed. They must accept the consequences of their actions.

Snorkle, you must come up from the deep waters and get some fresh air and see the light. You must accept the fact that the trio you are referring to have done some serious illegal activities and thank those who have brought it to light so justice can be done.

Well try 7-11. The loss is only temporary and in fact many of the tenants are asking if and when they can move back in since the lava has stopped and indications are that it might go north of the Marketplace.

Yes, it still is a shopping center and will be fully open when the threat passes and the County CD allows it to open up. These are disaster conditions and you just have to "go with the flow".

"Yes, it still is a shopping center and will be fully open when the threat passes and the County CD allows it to open up."

From today's Civil Defense alert:
Surface breakouts and activity along both margins continues upslope however, current activity does not pose an immediate threat to area communities.

(Emphasis added in both cases.)

Moderator, would you consider deleting the the five previous posts as they have absolutely nothing to do with the thread subject?

Thank you.

I think I'll just lock it up. It has gone adrift.
