Woman's body found off Kalapana

Sometime in the last year or so there was a group of young people who were pretty savagely attacked while enjoying a bonfire on the cliffs at the base of Seaview Estates. The attackers were young males, and identified as being Russian or Eastern European guys who had also been causing problems at Uncle Robert's. I think this may be the origins of the Eastern European gang in lower Puna story. I don't recall if they caught the guys, or even had any good leads.

As someone of Slavic descent, I would like to point out that Eastern Europeans are no more likely to be involved in crime than any other ethnic group. Yes, the East Coast has the Russian and Polish mafia in some communities, but that doesn't mean that anytime you see young Eastern European guys that they are in a gang, anymore than all Sicilians are in the mafia, or all Japanese with tattoos are in the Yakuza.
