That area in Pahoa is a joke. Try going to the atm at FHB before it opens and step over drunks to get some money. Picked up payroll one morning at 10 instead of the usual afternoon time, and a woman was yelling, oxys for $20 to people as they passed by, while a younger kid was asking people if they wanted the "killa green". Had to park by BOH cause the cash and carry side was full of people drinking, smoking, and selling. What a joke.
10 am on a tuesday. LOL.
It is much worse than it ever was in the 80's 90's 00's. No question.
I have never had any problems, when face to face with them though, smiles and shakas, even a fist bump or pat on the shoulder and a howzit, and all is good however......
Most of them are thieves and druggies, sad but true and those of us who know them or know people who know them confirm it all the time. Police from Pahoa to Hilo know who these guys are, can't arrest them everyday for petty stuff. Gotta be caught in the act, which is hard to do.
Very sad to see Pahoa changing the way it has. Many old timers here feel the same way, sad. The anger left long ago.
