On 2-15-2014 my wife and I, both Kihei residents, and our friends
visiting Maui for the first time, were having dinner at Kalama Beach
Park. A man at a nearby picnic table wound up and threw a small hard
object at a nearby dog that was tied up next to the bathrooms. As a dog
lover I stood up and said, "hey man, why did you do that." He claimed he
wasn't aiming for the dog. At that point a man at another table comes
over and begins threatening us. Prior to my wife recording, when she
stood up to explain what we were upset about, the dog being mistreated,
this man threatened to hit her and that he didn't care that she was a
woman. That he would also rape her. Around this point is when the video
starts.
As heard in the video he repeatedly tells us to "mind our own fucking business"
"who cares brah. This is Hawaii we do whatever the fuck we want out here - abuse dogs, hit women, that's all we do.
"you
know what I don't like, dumb white people like you guys. Fuck you guys.
Cuz you guys took this land from us. Fuck white people, fuck white
people."
"These are fucking tourists. Fuck that, we are fucking locals." Fuck white people they took our land."
We
live here and this was a horrible introduction to Maui for our friends
to say the least. When we moved here we had heard horror stories online
of similar sentiments but our time on the island has been nothing but
the opposite. We have felt so much Aloha from locals and Hawaiian's
99.9999% of the time. This guy is the exception and not the rule. I do
feel this video needs to be public so these type of sentiments against
other races, women, and animals can be condemned and the perpetrator can
be identified.
MPD arrived very quickly and has the video.
