I just got used to it so it doesn't scare me anymore. I just go back to sleep.
Mahalo - bystander for keeping it "real"! I too feel it is nothing to joke about. The area it came from and really ALL of HPP is too densely populated for shooting a firearm at ANYTHING. I am not against "guns" - just the "dangerous" use of them. A bullet can kill or maim from a fairly long distance. TWO THIRTY in the morning is not reasonable for most hunting and definitely not reasonable at ANY time in HPP.
What does it take to get peoples attention when something dangerous happens?
Somebody or something hit?
" I just got used to it so it doesn't scare me anymore. I just go back to sleep."
It saddens me and scares me too; that in some areas it is that prevalent.
If you can -call the police - they WANT and NEED to know of such incidents.
