Not really,HPD did it again! Just like in 2022/2023 when they gave out 1283 cases for prosecution but 1038 were rejected. Of those cases 300 were for blowing below .08 and 69 for blowing 0.00 ?
It seems that the only main reasons why many or most people come to visit Hawaii is the Haiku Stairs, but I understand the resentment form the residents, but I’m wondering if an agency of a group or mainland agency would pay residents who lives at the close vicinity of the stairs money for all the trouble hikers cause that would satisfy the residents and keep the stairs open
A long time ago, before HFD upgraded their frequencies and "vanished" (encrypted...), I would have a scanner and listen in to dispatches for Kailua, Kaneohe, Air 1, Rescue 2, Battalion 3, to be dispatched to Haiku Stairs for an injured hiker call.......this is resources taken away if there was ANOTHER emergency that was MORE IMPORTANT!!!! A HS supporter told me once that there never once was a fatality up there.....I can tell you this much, anyone can have a stroke, heart attack or miss a step and FALL to their deaths.....one day it WILL HAPPEN.
The farmer that owned the banana plantation in Maunawili used to shoot trespassers with his shotgun that had rock salt packed shells if he caught you sneaking thru his property to get to the falls and everyone steered clear of that banana patch! 😉
So a local boy decided he can break the law? Even flying in to do his childhood dream? He even has the audacity to brag about it with a smile 🙄 Kid you’ve got no respect for your aina. Best you do not return here
I reside in the Kalihi area. A while back, in 2012, our community was being stalked by a burglar. Cops knew his name and they said he was sorta sneaky. He often would hide when the cops showed up and then come out when they left. Per neighbors, he did burg and ransack my mom's old house and he often would "stalk me" by parking across the neighbors home and would "smile" at me cuz he probably see me peeking, looking at him as he would go up the road to see his "chick". Few years past and my neighbors son has told me that C did pass away. So to those folks that trespass thru yards and property, you think you have the "legal right" to do so.....pretty soon you going end up like that micro kid who got shot and killed all because he and his "buddies" climbed over the fence and TRESPASSED!!!!..........btw, the cops/dlnr should NOT only ticket cars, they should TOW THEM AWAY if they are BLOCKING a hydrant or total driveway!!! especially rental vehicles.......call up your rental agency and they probably tell YOU its not on their hands, YOU PARKED THERE illegally, you pay the tow bill, and storage fees.
I want to hike the ILLEGAL way, but I RESPECT THE HOME OWNERS. (If I was the homeowner, I would be pissed too) Dogs barking, people littering, pissing and pooping.
This entitled millennial magnet needs to be dismantled once and for all and residence given back their privacy. However, I'm somewhat perplexed as to why the Navy isn't paying for the removal and land remediation. They built the stairs to install an antenna back in WW2 and should be responsible for removal since it's not an active facility.
Now you know how we Hawaiians feel. We can’t get to our beaches to our water, to our fishing and hunting places. Now you know how we Hawaiian feel. #FreeHawaii
@@QuantumOfSolace1 if you are ignorant of the theft of the Hawaiian kingdom by the USA, subsequent loss of all our lands and assets and resources, and how our people live in complete poverty as the tourist slaves in their illegally occupied country where there was 99% literacy rate and electricity before the White House even, maybe you should use your Google.
Ridiculous it is being torn down. Never had a serious accident (except for one heart attack). Much, much safer than alternate, completely legal route without any improvements. State could grant an easement through its land so that homeowners would no longer be bothered (that’s really bad that ppl were going through peoples yards).
I think it’s a waste of money but people waste money all the time. I wanna know why the news doesn’t talk about china buying up ag land near military bases…. Including Hawaii!
The main reason why, i wanna visit Hawaii because, i wanna do this hiking but sadly its been closed. lucky i didnt booked my flight in advance. thats very sad
Who owns the top of the hill?? I heard it was used by the U.S. military way back so there should be an easement as to get to the area keep it open for all 🏆🇺🇸
@@casedoumasr656 if it were “public” easement “private” property could not be built. Besides the point is it is illegal to access the stairs. No amount of should do this or that is going to change that fact
If safety is such a concern, are they going to shutter the current legal trail too? Distress experiences are impossible? Can't possibly ever need a rescue? Make it make sense...
Feels like the same logic as blocking public access to beach. If there isn't a good public path to the hike, then yeah it is what it is. Those who trespass took the risk into account so it's nobodies business but the trespasser and the property owner. The state should not interfere at all.
Who pays or is in charge for the ijjits that require helicopter rescues or body removal? The state determines these things... and I believe the satellite dishes at the peak were navy or military owned, so... but it's NOT public access because it's not an open trail. That logic can go straight out the window.

Great Job KITV interviewing people breaking laws. These are the people responsible to why it is being taken down as we speak.
You broke the law
These trespassers give hikers a bad name. No shame in gloating about it publicly and the only thing you can relate to is a video game. Grow up.

Who's land is it NOW they pay !!!!! Look a Maui $Billions spent and nothing Done.
They should charge people like the diamond head trail.
Diamond Head I believe is a state park or national Park we went all the way up diamond Head great place thank you for the park aloha 🏆🇺🇸
State should take a easement, and change the law where you cant sue the state if you get hurt on state land...
haiku stairs can be a bigger money maker than the north shore , even a great world heritage site and a museum to teach history of ww2

It’s more cost effective to remove the stairs.
After it's removal more hikers will attempt the climb.
