Drug Dealers on Pahoa Main Street

[rainshadow]

I was in Pahoa last evening. The drivel that now wanders the streets is disgusting. It's why I so rarely go there. When I first moved here, I loved Pahoa town, loved its small town vibe and looseness. Now, it takes a bit of a miracle to get me there, even for stuff that really needs to be done.

I understand that there are too few cops (and too few who aren't in the pocket of whomever, from family to other...), and I get that there's little/no money, but... why? Why can't we get more cops in Puna? Is this a HI Co issue?

I'm not against taking out some dirtball on my property, at all. But unless I'm pushed, I won't be joining an Angels type of group. I think trash like this is the responsibility of government, and it's why we elect these... people. To help us. So what gives?
