"1) The 4 ladies were probably pretty smart to have their dogs with them just in case some old creep or young group of guys decided to get "stupid".
2) You should not have brought out your can of mace and threatened their dogs unless one of them did bite or attack you.
3) You probably didn't need to point out the obvious sign regarding the dogs needing to be on leashes after just threatening the ladies dogs with mace.
4) Also, You did not need to threaten the 4 woman any further by saying you would call the police.
5) The police are very busy in Puna these days. You probably did not have to exaggerate your side of the dog experience by telling the police "the dogs would most likely bite someone if an officer did not speak to the woman". The fact is, The dogs did not bite you and you came within 30 feet of them and raised a can of mace upon them.
6) One who carries mace or a gun is more likely to find a way to use it or justify the use afterwards.
7) Had the dog or dogs actually bit or attacked you. Then the police could have made sure those over protective dogs were kept on leashes in the near future. Instead though, The woman will probably just continue to let their dogs roam free in that area and chalk this incident up as a close encounter with a real creep or jerk from the mainland."
Wow. Just wow. I'm speechless.
