Based on my personal FL experiences, I have to say that radioguy's politically incorrect observations are on target. In addition to the initial crime, I can attest that a whole lot of FEMA money given for roof repairs and relocations was instead spent on crack, largely by the same group. FEMA paid for roofs are still covered with blue tarps. It appears to be a cultural issue that doesn't seem to be improving. I sure wish I had an answer for it.
Every person is personally responsible for the protection of home and family. Even in areas with very competent police, they rarely can get to the scene in time to prevent or stop an in-progress incident. It is also every persons responsibility to be involved in their community, both at the neighborhood level and in broader concerns. Politician must be forced to do their duty, and when possible we all need to do our part, community watch, mentoring etc.
Question: How does the Hawaii County police chief obtain and retain his position? Is it elected or appointed and if appointed, by who? (or is that whom?) I believe there is some sort of police commision. Is it appointed and does it have any power? Do the Hawaii County police generally process burglary scenes?
Rob,
Depending on what ails your back, and not advocating drug abuse, I have discovered that a good dose of valium before bed can sometimes result in awakening with a repaired back. I'm advocating a one night cure and not continued use of the drug. This works for spazzed, strained muscles and not ruptured discs etc.
