" how effective would it be if we had the ability to shoot people that came on our property? feels like our hands are tied, and the criminals know it."


Hah? What the hell are you talking about and how does that connect with a shooting at Walmart parking lot?

The police have been absolutely superb for a while now. I am so impressed and grateful. Punk criminals need to find another place to live or get their lives straight if they want to live on our island.

I pity the girl scout who tries to sell you cookies. Not everyone who goes onto your property deserves a death sentence.

"if we had the ability to shoot people that came on our property"

Yes, right, that's what we need here, more guns. The number of firearm deaths is unacceptably low.

Must have been suicidal or stupid, or both, to fire at police.
Glad this punk is out of the population.
Gives me pause to think I could have been at either of these places, Honolii or Wally world.
Nice job HPD.

I wonder if these crazy criminals were high on crack or is this the way they were naturally?

Likely ICE / Meth
Smoking mind altering chemicals

I too have been impressed with our police force! Seems to me, they are doing a fine job.

The bad guys, since they will break any law, at ant time they want to, pretty well know that the rank and file citizens will not do that. Therefore, they know that we are all unarmed, at least when we are out in public. That makes us sitting ducks.

In a society that the lawmakers are trying to totally disarm the populace, the cops had better be doing a first class job. Keep up the good work big island cops!!!

More like protected Nene. There are laws against shooting rank and file citizens. When is the last time a Big Island resident was shot standing around minding his/her own business?

Hah? Now what.... more hysteria. What nonsense.



"Therefore, they know that we are all unarmed, at least when we are out in public. That makes us sitting ducks."


Right. Logic and reasoning at it's finest. Hold on, need to reference my NRA talking points handbook. I'm sure we can add to the list here.
