Politicians leave the citizens to deal with violent criminals while they demand pay raises. These businesses pay taxes to be protected by the police not to be told to do it themselves. What a world.... SMH
I heard a military officer give a speech why merchants are important and without them there is no society. Merchants are the ones that can pay for the protection of property and life.
Yep! That's how I they get government funds or federal funds to provide so-called programs and then they pocket the money it's happening in the doe right now with special education students
That's why I carry my Louisville Slugger in my backpack as I walk back and forth from Makiki to my gym in Ala Moana. Someone that wants to scrap will get cracked.
sadly this is a very blue state... What do you expect? criminals are NOT punished, but the good people ARE. WHY should private citizens pay for security, when police and judicial system already gets tax money.
There’s a McD’s on Beretania that’s usually quite busy and because of vagrants asking/demanding money from customers, they finally hired a security guard part time. He sits inside reading while at the pickup window, homeless dance and beg for money. He is barely visible and doesn’t get that he has to circulate constantly. I’ve seen drug drops happening in broad daylight. Also giving one dollar isn’t enough apparently because after I gave it, the guy held up two fingers. The worst was while driving through, I showed the beggar that I had only one dollar in my hand and loose change in the coin valet. I got a bird shot at me. Really makes me want to give to these eternally grateful slobs. They aren’t disabled, they aren’t helpless. They are lazy, drug addicted, sloths who act like victims but are really victimizing hard working, tired and broke customers looking for a cheap pile of calories.
I used to stay at the shelter when it was on Beretania years ago in the early 80''s, then they moved the shelter on a back street somewhere past King street, then you wonder why you are having so many problems there.. Look also the bottom line is jobs are not exactly obtainable over there, I'm not saying that's the only reason but it's one of them.
💯 i hear you! Downtown Honolulu just doesn’t have the vibe anymore. The only ones buying there are foreigners that live here 2 weeks out the year. It’s disgusting- heading straight for Socialism. The KGB calls it Ideological Subversion. Look it up!
If your neighborhood is plagued by crime, it means it is first plagued by drugs.....our nation needs to start there and get all these humans off of the drugs if we have any hope of solving crime, homelessness, mental health, ect....
In the 80s I could walk all up and down King Street day or night with no hassles. I actually worked for Burns Security for a short while and there was ONE homeless guy we worried about, a popolo rasta type guy, but when I saw him at least he was quiet and didn't bother anyone, just wandered around. But then, back then there wasn't the internet reporting on every time a fly sneezes back then, I wonder if the kind of troublemaking bums we have now, would have back then, get a "tune up", "dirty lickins", whatever you want to call it and get taught a lesson to behave?
Bring the people out to take part in the security. They can take shifts and carry legal billy clubs to chase these punks away! Police needs to be prepared to pick up the punks!! Mahalo😊
I feel bad for the temple to have to deal with these issues. Private security paid for by the government sounds like a good plan since HPD recruitment is down so much.
Many years ago churches left their doors unlocked for all the sad or weary people to come in to invigorate their souls at any time, day or night. Now, not only are all doors locked but wrought iron gates are bolted and locked over them and sacristies are secured too. If you seek pastoral guidance in an emergency, you have to press a buzzer and hope a clergy member will answer it. Temples are left open at all hours but if they cannot protect against vandals, they may have to adjust their thinking too.
What the HPD should consider is having auxiliaries or volunteer units. Heck, maybe even expand the parking enforcement since they're out there enforcing parking in the downtown area. I know most of that is in the downtown area where the homeless are causing the problems.
Okay, but, "you get what you pay for". HPD average salary is about $65,000 per year. Can make arrests and use deadly force. Security guard at $20 per hour is about $40,000 per year. Cannot arrest nor use any force, but can call 911. Security guard at minimum wage is about $20,200 per year. Just watches TikTok on his phone.
I'm registered Dem and will never vote Red they are unabashedly evil. But! Dems are failing the working class and middle class, the party they were traditionally on the side of, by not taking care of this problem. The Dems need to set up asylums where the homeless can go, live out their druggie lives, get the good drugs there, and let us workers get back to working.
I never thought things would get this bad here. In New York in the 80’s (?) they had to implement a neighborhood watch the Guardian Angels (red berets) to patrol, report, and make citizens arrests, preferably peacefully, not through vigilantism.
My business I work at sales are down 40% in this area, these guys scaring my customers off.... old stadium park is nuts. Vote Red people the democrats are worried about feelings more than tax payers...
There's a really nice older guy that runs the UPS store in downtown Honolulu I feel so bad for him cuz I see customers about to go into the store and then don't some crazy scares them off and they change their mind. I've seen it many times but what does our state do? They pocket federal funds meant for this problem and do nothing
Okay, but, (1) sometimes a homeless person is not a criminal, (2) sometimes a criminal is not a homeless person, and (3) sometimes a criminal IS a homeless person.
@@Liberty2358 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I see that "in this case" YOU do not understand that I replied to the comment, NOT to your reply. Was my reply above addressed to you? NO. Do you always think that every reply is to YOU?
We do not need private security! We have a massive Police Department in Honolulu. We need to give them the laws to control the homeless, and then demand they do it. I sold my homeless problem without the police help. If the police say they don’t have the laws to keep them in jail, let’s make sure we get them. The other issue is the massive influx of drug and alcohol abuse on our streets. That should certainly be in arrestable offense.
@@lihihongan5289 how do you know is Democrat I can never wrap my mind around why Hawaii is so political LOL in Hawaii no matter you democrat or republican or green or whatever all politicians are corrupt out here
Look to what’s happening to our islands as only the wealthy can live while others can barely survive day by day . Crime will get worse , homelessness, and mental illness will rise . Even our children with what there expose to and you blame them for the killings been happening, look what occupies their life’s . My heart breaks at the conditions of our Hawaii the homeland of my kanaka ancestors, but then I look America it is falling apart with every major city covered in homelessness and the government with its sweeps , these are people your citizens that is not Lessing but growing in numbers and it’s not affordable home you will build but prisons cause there aren’t enough to house them unless like many your police just kill them 😢
Five families I know alone she removed the mainland because the deal here failed their kids it's the education and it's the cost of living and it's now the crime

1:16 It's freakin' Hawaii. I thought to myself, "there's no way those problems would be there too- how would they even get to the middle of the ocean." But lo' and behold there they are. They we need to all work together and solve these problems once and for all. We need something final.
You get what you vote for Hawaii. Vote for the people and policies that will better your lives not the politicians that fill their pockets from big corporations and lobbyists that control them.
Who are the individuals committing these crimes? Are these people from outside the area or are they locals? Are these crimes being committed by homeless people? Are these crimes being committed on all businesses or just specific ones? What is the police doing about it?
This was last week, but I saw a guy riding a nice blue fixie on algaroba and makahiki behind the library. He almost fell over trying to ride it, clearly didn't belong to him.
Oahu police is at a deficit. There needs to be more patrolling but at $60k a year salary to be a police officer in an island where the cost of a home is $1.2m? good luck. The $60k salary for police officers is from like 2000. You couldn't pay me to be a police officer here for anything less than $120k a year.
Put every officer, lieutenant, captain, major, detective and even the chief on patrol and if they refuse cut their funding and use it to pay for people who will do the job.
Doesn’t do any good when the progressive DAs refuse to prosecute and liberal lawmakers pass laws that favor criminals…this is not a cop problem, it’s an elected officials problem
Homeless Bill of Rights: I don't do much. I'm too drugged. That's my problem. Hang around sidewalk watching you, Just too lazy and druged I realized this the other day, I get hit by a truck tomorrow - a big truck could hit me - paralyze me from the neck down. Wouldn't effect my lifestyle a bit really..
Crime worsens because the transfer of wealth increases. If everyone were getting a living wage, living in houses they're buying, how much crime would there be?
Also because money and that is outsourced to reduce crime or provide security are going into the pockets of criminal politicians in Hawaii same thing is happening with the special education program of the doe that's going into the pockets of the d o e and not to the special ed students
Democrat run state. They don't hold criminals accountable. Starts with the Governor and Mayor of Hawaii and the entire city council...all need to be held accountable and liable for not protecting locals and tourists.
I was sitting next to a guy on a flight one time that used to own an electrical business in New York and he said that before Rudy Giuliani was Mayor of NYC, that he paid for protection from a protection racket and it was safe and better. I wonder what each Honolulu business could afford to ensure their businesses were void of vagrants and pan-handlers? If it worked, what would businesses be willing to pay? Protection rackets are officially illegal but they have resources (goons) and techniques (physical persuasion) unavailable to the police or security companies. They might request you eliminate your security cameras and sign a nondisclosure agreement as part of the deal for their services.
We will witness death by a thousand cuts... The Dominos has fallen as the house of cards burns for the paper tiger has been exposed while the emperor has no clothes on.🤔
The usual suspects. I carry potent pepper spray when out in public or on the buss here in SoCal. One Walmart closed there in Chicago all 4 closed. It will get much worse before it has a chance to get better.
Strange, I missed your comments about the stabbing on the SoCal bus the other day. Oh wait, your "usual suspects" schtick couldn't be applied to that situation, huh? Or did they spray the site with troll repellant?
I don't understand the math. The taxes and the hotels, all the money coming from vacationers from around the world, with the relatively low wages for workers in Hawai'i. There is wealth on the islands to pay for resources like police patrols. Where is the wealth going? Politicians and voters need to see what is going on in the big cities on the mainland to see how bad it can get. Things will not get better if you leave the problem alone. It will get much worse with criminals being emboldened to commit more violent crimes. This sort of crime and homelessness is another incursion on the Hawaiian population, and it feels like Hawaiians are suffering from another foreign invasion.
Good question! There needs to be more officers to patrol but at $60k a year salary to be a police officer in an island where the cost of a home is $1.2m? good luck. The $60k salary for police officers is from like 2000. You couldn't pay me to be a police officer here for anything less than $120k a year.
@@Frenchieeeee I personally don't know of too many hourly paid jobs that 'start' you right off the bat at $70K not including medical, full dental. Not to mention, most other jobs are not guaranteed employment for 20+- years or immunized from recession and layoffs.

Strange, I missed your comments about the stabbing on the SoCal bus the other day. Oh wait, your "usual suspects" schtick couldn't be applied to that situation, huh? Or did they spray the site with troll repellant?
The usual racists commenting. #AsUsual
Call your democrat lady senator 🙄
I'm sure she will care.
Oh, wait.
She already has taxpayer-paid security.
What a recession.
consequences of the policies you ask for
HPD should be called HPS instead.
Wow
Democratic Hawaii.
Perhaps the police should increase patrol on areas with high crime,
It's so sad...this place is supposed to be a paradise, but not anymore...its going to be worse.
Hanging
I don't understand the math. The taxes and the hotels, all the money coming from vacationers from around the world, with the relatively low wages for workers in Hawai'i. There is wealth on the islands to pay for resources like police patrols. Where is the wealth going? Politicians and voters need to see what is going on in the big cities on the mainland to see how bad it can get. Things will not get better if you leave the problem alone. It will get much worse with criminals being emboldened to commit more violent crimes. This sort of crime and homelessness is another incursion on the Hawaiian population, and it feels like Hawaiians are suffering from another foreign invasion.
Good question! There needs to be more officers to patrol but at $60k a year salary to be a police officer in an island where the cost of a home is $1.2m? good luck. The $60k salary for police officers is from like 2000. You couldn't pay me to be a police officer here for anything less than $120k a year.
@@Frenchieeeee the recruits don't start off with full pay like every place else. Big Island's starting pay is $70,000.
the police dept have a bad reputation. Nobody like apply. Is the bad reputation warranted? Not always.
@@ronw8628 and that's why nobody wants to be an officer on big island. $70,000 is poverty level, it's pay from 20 years ago.
@@Frenchieeeee I personally don't know of too many hourly paid jobs that 'start' you right off the bat at $70K not including medical, full dental. Not to mention, most other jobs are not guaranteed employment for 20+- years or immunized from recession and layoffs.
Moma Woo's sounds like good lunch man!
Vote republican
If HPD drive around to let these punks know that they are around and show their presence instead of hanging around malls and parking lots claiming reports are being done....c mon guys the people out there need you guys now.. FOCUS
We need to purge.
The guy that said he will rob old helpless people if he dont get money needs someone that learn him how to dive without air. I mean there is lots of opportunity
every such report should specify if this is a defund-the-police community - after awhile - citizens will figure things out
Arrest him asap, prosecute. Lock em up and forced rehab treatment
