HOTPE - " . . .at least when authorities tell us “you’re on your own” it’s dengue mosquitoes . . . "
I've been told on several occasions by police officers that we're "on our own" in Puna when it comes to certain crimes and/or certain criminals. It all depends on who is involved on both sides of the crime equation.
Edited to add: It should also be noted that Puna "punches above its weight" when it comes to thuggery. I'd love to see a comparison of Puna vs. Honolulu crime a per capita basis using meaningful statistics. I say "meaningful" because my police officer friends say that the reporting system used locally is skewed to minimize crime. Imagine that.
