Interesting.

While I would not say that this mindset never comes into play, I don't think criminals usually take the time for such philosphical considerations. Many crimes are crimes of opportunity with little or no planning. In those instances where planning is involved, the usual consideration is where the pickings are the best and easiest to get at. In our local area this might often be the homes of the well-to-do (vacation or otherwise) and successful businesses. The fact that the homes are often owned by haoles is probably a coincidental economic reality vs. a burglar's racial philosophy. In the case of businesses, they are quite often, if not most of the time, owned by "locals."

At the recent HPP Neighborhood Watch meeting, we learned that burglary and theft were significantly down in HPP during December, despite the economy and holiday greed. The crimes reported were once again preponderantly near the shoreline. The fact that these homes are mostly owned by haoles does not necessarily reflect racial consideration since "that's where the money is." In the past two years, the burglaries I have had personal knowledge of in my central district of HPP have nearly all been at homes inhabited by "locals."

BTW, kudos to Glen for sending current and past guests at his home to the Watch meeting. It was a pleasure to meet them, and they contributed to the discussion.

Sorry Jerry, The ""locals to rip off houlies to feed their families. ..."" was more of a side note as opposed to being contribltable to the current problems. I did say and do believe:

Not that we won't see these types of incedents on the rise. Sorry but it sounds more like a group of tweekers. Tweekers think that the world is their play ground after 12pm. Thus you see crimes of opportunity such as these, late at nightand some what petty. I know, it's not petty when you're on the Ruedogg/Island trust realty side of it.

My thoughts on the houlie comment were followed by "If the economic situation gets real bad"
