Edge - Did anyone in Hawaii vote for an high level of acceptable collateral damage, of innocents?
Do you mean like, ever?
If you are decrying the violent nature of law enforcement Edge then I am in complete alignment with you. I lean heavily non-violent and really wish it could be kinder and gentler all around. At the same time I really appreciate our people in blue and have never walked in their moccasins.
If you are decrying recent deportations then assuming the best I have to ask, very sincerely, where were you when Hawaii's own son deported 3 million humans? There are no statistics specifically for deportations from Hawaii between 2009-2016 but if we do the math proportionally by population with the US population being 320M at that time and Hawaii's population being 1.4M at that time, then our share could have been roughly 13,200 deportations from Hawaii over that eight year period. That equals One Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty contributing members of society violently yanked out of Hawaii each year.
I searched the words "deported" and "deportation" in the old search bar in the upper right quadrant of your screen here on Punaweb and you pop up - but not advocating for any of the poor people that were deported out of Hawaii from 2009-2016. I'm curious, were you less empathetic back then? Am I searching the wrong terms? Did Punaweb purge the posts demonstrating your concern? Was it not reported in the sources that informed you? Did you think that no guns or collateral damage were involved when the worlds of all of those good people came crashing down? What changed that made this topic so important for you suddenly?
