Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in Hawaii

[ironyak]

Wao nahele kane - retard poster ... some moron ... rat out legitimate law enforcement activity, ... missidentify ... Frigging morons.
For going on about people's cognitive abilities, you seem to have overlooked that the agencies tout their working together and both have been shown to perform detentions and arrests, even on U.S. citizens. If you've going to so slavishly presume their activities to be lawful, then they actually have to be known to follow the law, unlike what we've seen in Hawaii and elsewhere.

But being CBP maybe they're just here to enforce some of those arbitrary and dictatorial tariffs instead, so they should be granted the traditional American welcome for customs agents? Country has a long history of not taking kindly to the government picking their pocket, despite the servile admonitions of authoritarian boot-lickers.

MM - What makes you think Yak's post was about you?
lol, Brits and Tories, same as it ever was. Apparently TomK has forgotten the words of Copernicus from ASTR101 - you are not the center of the universe!

should know damn good and well, they aren't ICE.

Did I say that? Imply it?  What I did imply is I never saw them away from Kahului Airport, Kahului Harbor, or Lahaina Harbor.  Except when driving to and from those locations.  If I saw a vehicle away from ports of entry, like Pahoa, like Kula, I might wonder what they’re up to. 

You seem to know, care to share?  Can they drive a government vehicle around the island for personal use?  Seems like a good place for a cutback of federal spending right here in Puna.  So kids can eat.

We had a fool here assuming a CPB vehicle meant ICE raids. 
Don't mistake the two as one in the same, they aren't. 
And YOU declaring you saw the customs office on Maui weekly for 10 years should know damn good and well, they aren't ICE.

Speaking of fools and assumptions, the great bastion of humanity, known as Meta, has posts and pictures all over about some massive pieces of equipment being shipped through Pahoa today.

The equipment, from what my family "men" tell me, appear to be giant "heat exchangers."

But social media has them made out to be Elon's Space X Rockets, nuclear missiles, some billionaires underground survival shelter - hell you name it. Even more surprising, a former candidate for Mayor of Hawaii was chiming in on all the conspiracies as to what they were.

Never mind the very large stenciling on the equipment that clearly states, "Puna Geothermal Venture."

At any event, my head is still spinning on how a Customs and Border Patrol vehicle spotted in Pahoa went straight to a mass mob of "morons" beating up a cruise ship Customs Agent.  That's some "retarded" shit for sure!

Maybe they were on their way to inspect the billionaire's new underground survival shelter for some undocumented immigrant construction workers? Everyone knows no billionaire in his right mind would hire Union Construction Trade Americans to build his survival shelter.

"So kids can eat."
How the hell ones mind equates less CBP vehicles being used to kids being able to eat is beyond mental gymnastics and moreso a step towards a sociopath trying to display empathy.

You are seriously creepy.

"...sociopath trying to display empathy."

"You are seriously creepy."

I'd say dragging a dozen female Filipino teachers out of their beds in their underwear at the crack of dawn by some "sociopath" hyped up ICE Agents is as lacking in empathy as one can get and further, is actually quite creepy as well.

At any event, I see this meme being posted all over social media today:

   

I'd suggest we greet them with poison ivy leis, but poison ivy is not available here in Hawaii.

And by all means, watch the latest South Park episode. And lock up your puppies!

Well, I can't speak for HOTPE, but I am certainly honored!

I feel for you, big time. I just wish we had the ability to block certain users from seeing our posts in the first place. Seriously, it gets real old having the same person respond to every post and end up always dominating the conversation with her crass humorless nonsense. It's like PW has become her very own, and god help anyone that wants to converse with others.. you can't. It's all her all the time. Just look at all the threads in today's line up.. every single one is last posted by one person.. and nobody's interested in interacting with her. All conversations end with her.. It's as if she's single handedly killing PW.

Hopefully Mod2 can come up with a solution that gives us back the community her dominance has stifled.
