Prohibition is an excuse for pot and alcohol not pills, ice and crack, the real problem in Pahoa. Not reefer.
FHB employees are helpless. I have banked with them for over 15 years now and am completely disgusted that no one steps in to help this branch out. My wife WILL NOT GO to this branch at all and for good reason. Having to step over homeless guys passed out on the steps just to use the atm? C'mon. Smoking ice and passing money in front of me at 1 pm as I am getting out of my car to cash my paycheck. This happens all day everyday.
Marijuana is always and always will be a part of life here in Hawaii and people need to just get over it. The Oxycodone and ice and crack sellers that you see at 10 am standing in front of FHB yelling their product and prices as cars drive by are the problem. The continued argument that the police don't have the time to effectively patrol the one street in Pahoa town is a joke. A bad one at that.
The police have no problem routinely driving through malama parking lot in circles busting people for no seat belts before they even hit the road. Have seen this going on for a better part of a year now. The employees at FHB will tell you there is nothing they can do. FHB will not step in, the county has been told about this problem for a better part of a decade and nothing. The police are aware of whats going on and turn a blind eye period.
Even all the newbies that come and go through the Pahoa police station turn a blind eye to that area. There is a reason for that...........
