This surge in crimes is an indirect result of the crackdown on massage places. The authorities have just opened pandoras box. How else will some of these guys vent their frustrations if these places are all gone.

You can rob, murder, kidnap, torture, anything that's considered a crime and you'll get a free lawyer and low bail and out you are again. Our judges like to let the criminals out to do more damage. Maybe commit a crime against a judge? Like extortion or run him / her over in a crosswalk? Hopefully they will keep the public safer.

Interesting you say this It's always been my theory as to why police sometimes let these places operate unless politics get involved.

Seriously though don't sexual crimes spike as a function of crackdowns?

Well when you think about the people who apply to becoming cops, think about what kind of individuals are applying. This doesn't apply to all of HPD or LE but from my understanding it's guys with a chip on their shoulder, like the power / abuse and control for one reason or another, the biggest criminals themselves, or those who needed the job because of unforeseen cirunstances occurring at that moment. Again, this doesn't apply to some. What a shame though, wish they'd go find the real criminals out there instead of easy targets.

The best is when you get stopped or pulled over and out comes a 5'5 midget That's when you know your not talking your way out LOL.

Don't you guys feel safer that HPD is busy busting mama-sans and hard working girls, instead of trying to stop the slew of violent muggings, car jacking, and armed robberies that have recently impacted our community? I don't know about you, but I feel much safer.

It's a lot easier carrying search and seizure of those dangerous massage establishments. It's way too difficult going after violent thugs. Thanks Honolulu's Finest. Keep up the good work.

Those purse snatching punks need a dose of neighborhood justice. Mobs of local people taking the neighborhoods back from the punks. Anything that makes it on the news to embarrass LE. But then LE may decide to protect the punks. Holiday season too. Things will get worse with more shoppers out.

I agree. I feel much safer now that the police are not going after the muggers and other trouble makers. Keep focusing on the little old ladies jaywalking and harassing the mama-sans at the massage parlors. You men in blue are doing a great job.

I honestly used to think police had integrity and were honest people.

But after all this extremely disturbing stuff happening at HPD, yikes. The police chief tried to frame his own family. Can you imagine how often the cops here must be framing the general public. Fucking scary.

And then they have the nerve to try and deflect the public's attention from their own corruption by lying to the public in press releases and statements to the media to make it look like there is an epidemic of human "sex" trafficking here in Hawaii. But the fact is, there isn't. If there was, there would have been a massive number of human trafficking convictions after all the police raids at all these spas. But how many human trafficking convictions were there? 0. And how many human trafficking victims did the police rescue? 0.

Want to guess why there haven't been any human trafficking convictions. Want to guess why there haven't been any human trafficking victims rescued. It's because it isn't that common here in Hawaii. The cops are lying to us. Sadly it was all just another example of the police targeting the most vulnerable members of society because: 1. Sex workers are easy targets for the police, and 2. Sex workers are vulnerable due to their legal status and can't easily fight back.

Hey HPD, ever here of the word pono? I didn't think so.

No forget still get pimps like the death row 2nd chance scum make their way here for easy trafficking of girls. And the biggest blatant Chinese connection at Empire and Mayflower. Dozens of girls allegedly trafficking here for years. Convictions yes. But they never get the head of the snake. Loverboys you know the real game it was a very, very dark and dangerous play exploiting girls. Glad and sad at the same time.

Problem is that they not good at catching the scum pimps and go fo easy target AMPs. You are right, HPD is CYA and lying to Hawaii.

Someone should call the HPD out and ask them for numbers.

I totally agree that the Police in Hawaii are very corrupt -- especially the Pearl City Cops. Hopefully, the New Police Chief will put these crooked cops behind bars. If it doesn't happen, then we have to assume that we have another corrupt Police Chief taking bribes, etc.

I was Raised by a Police officer I had lots of respect for them. Then when I got married a long time ago. My parent that rised me told me HPD was in the fbi top 5 in the states for the most Corrupt police departments now think about that for how small the islands really are that's bad.

[Chubs]

Skepticism towards all news media. They do reveal a bias and utilize strong, inflammatory word usage to sway public opinion and attitude.

Per HPD investigation and work, there is trafficking OUT of the state much more than what we are led to believe going on in the state. It is sad how it happens and who it happens to, it's just not as much volume. We already know how flawed and illogical the Arizona farce study is, and that only exposes how much of a farce SJWs have become and have a death grip on that study. Like vegans on the China Study.

My apologies for posting links and writing about older issues but I want to keep these things fresh in our collective minds. I was just reading this article about our Hawaii legislators trying to pass anti-porn bills here in the 50th state in 2019.

https://www.civilbeat.org/2019/02/th...ck-porn-sites/

My first thought reading the article was: Mike Gabbard is still around? I thought he was voted out of office after his little anti-homosexual campaign a few years ago. I guess not. Huh.

My second thought was: Is Mike Gabbard a butthole? His picture seems to show that he is a man, but when I read what he had to say I became confused and I think he might actually be a butthole.

My third thought was: Holy shit, Rep Sam Kong also introduced an anti-porn bill. Is he also a butthole?

My forth thought was: OMG! Rep Sharon Har wanted to get in on the action and did an anti-porn bill too. Is she yet another butthole?

My fifth reaction was: There seems to be an awful lot of buttholes out there.

Anyway, my main takeaways from the article were that Mike Gabbard might not be a man but might actually be a gigantic butthole and that maybe we should stop electing buttholes here in Hawaii.

I too was rather surprised to learn the excellent Mr. Gabbard continues to be present and active in Hawaii's government. I thought he'd retired and slithered away with his tail between his legs. Anyways, the other day I was on Wikipedia researching Tulsi Gabbard, 2020 presidential candidate, and smoking hot piece of ass IMHO, and then from there I started wondering what the heck ever became of her wonderful dad. So he's involved with anti-porn legislation. Okay, but what sort of anti-porn we talking about here exactly? Turns out it has to do with restrictions on personal viewing of internet porn. At first I'm thinking, well, this has nothing to with me so why should I care one way or the other? The only internet pornography I ever view is the photo section here on USA Sex Guide! But then I suppose there's the problem, if they do pass whatever anti-porn bill, maybe this will become a foot in the door to further assaults on freedom, and eventually it could end up effecting the rest of us!
