The Bicker Board

IMO in all instances he's simply using different terms to identify Puna en masse as a relatively low income area.  Perhaps the intention was to stir up emotions with inflammatory language?  Fails to do so for me.

Yup, the spoken word means nothing anymore. Inflame the masses is now the key. For a transplanted mainland "haole" to move to Hawaii, claim its culture as theirs and then call parts of it a "ghetto" and some of its people "trailer trash" is just okie dokey.

Continue to justify the unjustifiable. No wonder Hawaii, and America is where we are right now.

IMO, rural ghetto is not an inaccurate description for much of Puna and to be fair he did not call any of its people trailer trash.  Rather one step away from it, which also seems to be true in some cases.  

Obviously you hold a grudge with him that colors your perception. He's not a politiican, just a lowly poster on PunaWeb.
