Couple that with how prosecutors HATE self-defense, and this story is very unusual. No Charges in Fatal Road Rage Incident
Prosecutor Steve Alm says the driver who was stabbed was the unprovoked aggressor and that there’s not enough evidence to disprove the other driver acted in self-defense. A spokesperson for the prosecutor says Gerald Waialae appeared to be intoxicated and intentionally rammed the car of the man who later stabbed him.
If someone "intentionally rams" my car, I am going to assume - even in absence of intoxication - that he means to do me harm.
Apparently the prosecutor saw things that way as well.
Self-defense is a human-right. Though I would not count on it being recognized as your legal right in Hawaii. (Hat tip Keep and Bear Arms.)
I GUARANTEE the DA desperately WANTED to charge the victim but knew doing so would cost him politically. That is the ONLY reason the victim isn't behind bars. And you will notice the weapon was a KNIFE....because firearms are strictly controlled, difficult to acquire and IMPOSSIBLE to legally carry in the pineapple state....unless you're an "only one".
ReplyDeleteOf course Hawaii is anti-2nd Amendment. This incident is an example of how the Elite think that the locals "always" behave. "God Help Us ALL. if Team Pineapple had access to modern weapons". The islands would be like Chicago with Hula skirts. They'd have to isolate all the resorts like Mexico has to.
