Hey there -- Lara Yamada w/ KITV. I've been hearing a few reports of looting and concerns of looting in the storm-damaged areas.
Got any info? My email: lyamada@kitv.com. Thank you! -- you can reach me in the newsroom too: 808-535-0440...
Friend of mine told me there are reports of a Harper's moving truck that was rented to go around and loot. Not sure where she heard it. She was part of the giveaway team down at Pahoa High. Wondering if anyone else heard the same.

Hey Lara Yamada,
Why not report on people helping their neighbors which is what is happening 99% of the time? Why sensationalize looting which is happening rarely just to advance your career???

Hey Lara - why not report on Helcos unwillingness to protect their lines and upgrade their grid while they rake in millions of dollars in profit every year?

Americans don't want real journalism, just sensational news and "reality" TV programming. Don't blame Lara for trying to DELIVER ratings.
Meanwhile, several users of this forum are DELIVERING ice, water, food, and other necessities to those who need it. But don't expect it to get covered on the news. Nobody wants to see that. When Puna was getting buried in trees and power lines, the news media ran 2 days of recurrent brief footage of the "raging Wailuku river" in non-storm-struck Hilo. It was pathetic. Hey... we're 30 minutes away from Hilo....
The "storm footage" from Waikoloa and Kona with their clear blue skies, calm winds and seas.... wow.
