The brother just showed how ignorant he is with that gansta wannabe attitude. "Shot like a criminal" Duhhh if getting arrested 30 times don't define the teenager as a criminal or at least a juvenile delinquent then what is. (I don't condone the teenager being shot) Just makes me sick to my stomach that they again glorifying the life of the wrong doer. What about all the innocent victims? The person whos car was stolen and now destroyed, the purse snatching victim, the home invasion at gun point victims. Now all of those victims got to pay the price of property loss and trauma for life. Sorry I have more empathy for all of the victims. SmH.

Did any of you hear the interview with the brother of the kid that got shot he saying the cops shot the brother 5 times like he was a criminal? Hello then he says the cops no like them because they Micronesians? Now tell me with this kind thinking how anyone suppose to help them?

So if they invade your house and pull a gun on you and your family? It's ok because the kid just made a bad choice, Aloha. Even more reason Hawaii should pass the castle doctrine and lose the terrible laws in place that only favor criminals over law abiding citizens. I don't dial 911 it takes too long, 357 is much better to have on speed dial.

You dial 357, I dial 556.

Apparently the bother is on the Hawaii's Most Wanted list!

See, the thing is, your "social circles" have a lot of impact on your life outcome. It's how money and privilege easily find each other, and druggies and criminals as well. The real problem with the "Micronesian situation" is that we just gave them free stuff, but did not support them through other means. Think about the purpose of something like a prisoner re-entry program. If we just gave everyone who is getting out of jail $10,000 and said "ok, go free", how many would you think would just acclimate back into "regular life"? Probably not a lot. That's why instead of just giving them a bunch of free stuff, we should have provided "less money and more access" to programs like education and jobs. Right now, there are all these "thugs" in the Micronesian group who are sitting around with too much time on their hands. If they were working and going to school instead of sitting around doing nothing and getting checks in the mail, I'm sure we'd see this a lot less.

Poverty = crime. Solve for poverty and you get less crime as a generalized theory. Not pushing any political narrative here, but all research suggests that the poorer a person or their surroundings are, the more likely there is to be crime. This applies to juveniles as well as adults.

Age 16 and arrested 30 times = 30 wrong choices?

But his brother saying he wasnt a criminal?

[Local1234]

The vehicle was seen fleeing the scene of an armed robbery and burglary in addition to being stolen. The Honda rammed several Police vehicles and refused to stop. Maybe get all the facts before so judiciously passing the blame.

FYI many AMPs got robbed too. Young thugs with guns (real or maybe fake gun). They just could not report it.

That is why most small places close early in the evening or not respond to strange young guys.

These cops be getting trigger happy killing kids for trying to get away in a cheap stolen car. The kid made a bad choice that only leads to jail the hospital or dead.

Be safe all.

Yeah, they just kids but they doing adult crimes. The 22 yo was on probation and probably using these other kids to do the dirty work; trying for establish one gang and giving them instruction on criminal and thug tactics. I guess he never school them about LE / Military tactics and weapons. Sad story all around; be alert and prepared.

These thugs no longer kids. Chose this lifestyle as evidenced by their long list of prior convictions--keep in mind this represents maybe a tenth of the havoc they have been causing.

You know they already out on the street again today. Bet you they commit more crimes guarantee. No rehab for those who chose the lifestyle.

This is just another instance of increases in violent crimes of all sorts. Young guys involved in armed robbery, home invasions, auto theft. Can't expect to get by with a slap on the wrist. WTF are they thinking! This is a tiny little island. Everybody knows everybody. Cannot get lost in the mass of humanity cause there isn't any mass!

If you going to do this kind shit. Go SoCal, NYC, Philly, Detroit, Chicago where you can get lost in the mob.

Stupid shit.

You are absolutely right. I feel no pity for punks who break into someone's house with gun or terrorizing innocent people. Its ridiculous how some people like blame police for everything when it's there job to protect. This is not like George Floyd where he was already cuffed and down. Another thing I not sure how others feel but George Floyd is not the hero a lot of people making him out to be he didn't deserve to die but people forgetting he was a drug addict and he was using counterfeit $$ and that's what cause him to be arrested and in the end his death and again I'm saying George Floyd didn't deserve to die the cop should pay for that but George Floyd shouldn't be known as a hero either.

So you OK with kids more likely gang since was 6 of them stealing arm robbery running from cops driving on opposite side of the road possibly hurting innocent people. This is not police fault the kid got shot. I'm sorry but you hurt innocent people you deserve what you get. What if these 6 people did what they did to someone of your family?

Passed by. Looks like the whole building was shut down. No "Open" signs on. Too much drama the night before?
