Thanks to the the team at Civil Beat for spending time to fully explore this story. In response to the 1:00 min. introduction that says there is more to Hawaii than paradise, I have to respond: yeah, but how many people get fatally shot in Hawaii? Not many, not even Waikiki. Deedy brought some of the trigger-happy, casual gun-toting of Virginia to Hawaii that weekend. He was a cocky haole thinking he was the one who should be in charge of the situation and came head to head with a proud local Hawaiian, but he walked into it without fully understanding the racial dynamics he was getting into. A quick lesson that "haole" is equivalent to the n-word simplified the situation and only added fuel to the fire. What does this example teach us about the police killing of brown people on the U.S. mainland? It teaches us that reducing the numbers of guns on the streets would be a good way to reduce gun violence. Is that too obvious?
