The Blame Game

Hawaii tourist dies on Maui beach, and wife alleges state failed to warn her about snorkeling danger – Patti Johnson believes her husband’s snorkeling death off the coast of Maui could have been prevented had he known about a little-known danger [More]

Because we all know whose responsibility it is to make sure you know what you’re doing.

And why stop there? I’ll bet there was no warning or safety indicator on the snorkel, and those gear manufacturers and dealers have deep pockets.

The Spirit of Aloha?

This bill would legalize the open carry of all non-firearm weapons… [More]

Then there’s:

…despite containing some anti-gun measures…

What are they? And I guess a “parade to celebrate the bill’s passage” has to be viewed as any improvement being better than what they had before, but somehow, marching with a spear emphasizes a different message for me.

The Spirit of Aloha

Under Senate Bill 2845 (Senate Draft 2, House Draft 1), people would be prohibited from selling ammunition to anyone under 21 and those under 21 would be prohibited from owning, possessing or controlling ammunition except as specifically allowed by law. [More]

In the Kapu tradition…

Tribal primitives are beating the celebration drums.

Hey, they’re not eating with the men, are they?

Trouble in Paradise

In January, Hawaii Republicans dumped caucus locations for Lahaina, Captain Cook, Lanai, Hana, and Molokai. Now they are cancelling four Oahu caucus locations due to their inability to find anybody to staff them. [More]

In case you were wondering how Democrats keep getting away with stupid $h!+ that’s offensive to freedom— wherever they take over and ruin.

Hawaii’s Butterfly Knife Decision and ‘Spirit of Aloha’ Both Offensive to Freedom

We have two citizen disarmament cases wending their way through two courts, but they both rely on essentially the same thing: superstition relying on ancient barbaric belief systems that say the people exist to serve rulers rather than the government exists to serve the people. [More]

We are supposed to be beyond rule by kapu, where offenders are severely punished for offending the gods, which judges and politicians increasingly portray themselves to be when they presume to deny unalienable rights.

The Butterfly Effect

Ninth Circuit to rehear Hawaii butterfly knife ban… In its en banc petition, the state only briefly touched on historical arms regulations in its pre-territorial days. However, the state Supreme Court recently harkened back to the Kingdom of Hawaii — which historically levied heavy regulations on weapons — while pushing back on the Second Amendment. [More]

We’re talking Stephen Stamboulieh and Alan Beck’s case,

Judge ReTodd Eddins thinks “the spirit of Aloha” is the supreme law of the land there? I know they had history and tradition– did they have text? And does that spirit mean they’re bringing back Kapu?

Mark W. Smith thinks this may backfire.

Just Be Thankful They Don’t Throw You in a Volcano

Hawaii poised to slap tourists with $25 climate tax… “It’s a very small price to pay to preserve paradise,” Hawaii Gov. Josh Green, a Democrat, told The Wall Street Journal. [More]

And who better to pay more tribute to than “the most corrupt state in America“?

I’d think this would run afoul of the right of citizens to travel freely. Then again, they already require visitors to abdicate their rights under the Fifth Amendment.

And don’t get me started on the Second…
