Setting up anyone for destruction for revenge or retribution because of money, hatred, animosity is a predatory activity. You might say this is a family spat taken to cosmic proportions.... Such an old story told time and again everywhere from the Bible to Shakespeare and other classic literature - not to mention movies.

How many officers were corrupt by nature and how many were corrupted by the status of the two major players? We are told to be careful: "bad company corrupts good morals."

The Honolulu Prosecutor's Office needs scrutiny to see if power is used there to pick on others for spurious or unfounded reasons.
