The laws on the books in Hawaii for violent crimes are actually pretty sound, but the Big Island judges do not hand down the sentences the laws empower them to. Think about how often someone is arrested for a violent act and the paper reports the long string of similar acts they have perpetrated in the recent past. If the same bad guy was in jail serving a long term for their first or second offense they would not have the opportunity to victimize additional people. All a criminal seems to need to do to get a light sentence is have their mom and a few aunties show up in court and cry about how he is just a poor misunderstood boy who never would hurt a fly.
