5-13-24 Ocean View Man Arrested Following Barricaded Standoff in Kaʻū

[HiloJulie]

hadn't been advised that the estranged husband was a homicidal maniac.

It's HOVE.. there's gotta be one around every corner.. at least that's what I would assume.

I have a friend that at one point decided he'd like to give the place a try. He bought two homes pretty close together thinking he'd rent one as a B&B and live in the other. And he went pretty much out of his mind trying to protect his investment. He said if he turned his attention elsewhere for a day anything not nailed down seemed to grow legs and walk away. He went to Kona for a weekend and came back to squatters living in his house. Who threatened him if he didn't leave.

Word is there's a homeless encampment or two.. or? on the flows outside of the grid., and the folks there come into the subdivision daily to round up whatever they want. And they're not screwing around.. people live in fear.

I know nothing, but I hear that kind of thing more often than not. Which makes homicidal maniacs seem par for the course.. they have to live somewhere, right?

OK then, if we take your points about the people in HOVE as being factual, such as:

• "anything not nailed down seemed to grow legs and walk away"
  
• "came back to squatters living in his house. Who threatened him if he didn't leave"
  
• "there's a homeless encampment or two.. or?"
  
• "and the folks there come into the subdivision daily to round up whatever they want"
  
• "and they're not screwing around.. people live in fear."
  
• "Which makes homicidal maniacs seem par for the course."
  

Then it must also be safe to say that these are the same people protesting the proposed Black Sand Development Project.

Which, now after reading your points about the people of HOVE, I understand this Civil Beat article which states:

""Monday’s hearing was marked by passionate testimony from scores of Kau residents, including Donna Pabre of Ocean View who said her family traces its roots to Punaluu. Pabre said she woke up at 4:30 a.m. to attend the hearing in Hilo and vowed to fight the project “at every corner, at every junction.”"

""If we don’t prevail, we will stand on the road and block you. We will call all of our people and make this another Mauna Kea,” Pabre said, referring to the controversy over the Thirty Meter Telescope project. “We have 17,000 people on the petition without even trying.”"

Maybe by protesting, the squatting, robberies and taking whatever you want will subside as well as give the homeless camp or two something to look forward to doing and start letting the normal people live without fear.

Hopefully, the homicidal maniacs can control themselves too.
