He parked his truck across from today's Gay Pride festival downtown and had graphic anti-gay placards posted. There were a few moments of heated debate with several tourists and a few folks from the Pride Festival crowd after he pulled up. But then the pro-gay/anti-hate folks (not necessarily the same groups) decided it was better to be across the street where the fun was than to give more credence and attention to this guy and his outrageous signs. He exercised his freedom of speech, but the majority of folks exercised their freedom to not pay him any attention...

His FB page is public (as it seems to be with most crazy people), and makes me not want to get into a conversation with him IRL. Looks like he hasn't posted anything recently though. Formerly he also kept a page there called AMERICAN PATRIOTS MOVEMENT OF AMERICA.

Rich, we looked for you today. Did you watch the parade? Where were you guys? I walked right past Crazy With His Truck when he started spouting his cherry picked phrases from Leviticus (as they all do), and chuckled because one of the visions of loveliness walking the parade apparently tossed a bunch of glitter on his truck windshield and he was apoplectic, calling it "property damage." Anyway, Aloha was shared by all the rest of us, despite his rant. Missed you tho...

I've seen this dude's pickup truck. For quite a while he had an Obama doll hanging with a noose around it's neck. Seems like that is over the line to me. I have never talked to him, as having someone like him getting in my face, I have zero tolerance for a confrontation like that. Obviously, that's what he wants. He usually "works" the park Monday through Friday, so he was there for the gay pride thing.
For an American to hang our elected President in effigy, is outrageous. He has taken that sign down of late.

so the question remains; why isn't this illegal? i can't drink a beer in public, i can't 'jay walk', i can't smoke pot even in my own home, i cannot drive my car without my seatbelt on etc etc, but i can incite people to racial violence?? would he in fact be getting away with this anywhere else but Hawaii? what would happen if this was L.A.?
