Most of us who live down here would probably recognize these scum. They are probably the same guys who have been breaking into cars and homes for months. Some of them have been arrested, but even if they are convicted I'm sure they will be down here doing the same thing over and over again. The police would be overwhelmed with work if they even spent an afternoon there undercover. Not on the beach, but above it. You can count on being offered for sale pot and other drugs pretty routinely. On Sundays, scum from all over hang out in the parking lot and openly drink and use drugs for hours, intimidate people and intentionally stand in the street to block cars. Personally I'd like to see the police there every Sunday in the parking lot. These scum are not local residents who actually use the beach for recreation. We don't park there anymore and we never go there on Sunday past 11am. My partner was assaulted there a few years ago. I don't have any delusion that the police will ever do anything there. As it is it takes them an hour to show up when you call 911 and report that you witnessed a woman being pulled into a car screaming "let me go!" It takes about 12 minutes to drive here from Pahoa in a cop car that can exceed the speed limit.
