Tyrone Vesperas, a Big Island resident, won't have much of a Father's Day this year. He will be spending it jail after killing his 14 year old son and his unborn child when he repeatedly stabbed his estranged wife in the abdomen. The teenager stepped in to save his mother and received a stab wound to his jugular. But he didn't die right away- this brave kid was able to call 911 and basically tell on his father. The police arrived at the house at 11 a.m., after the father hung up on the 911 operator, but the boy was already dead. Interestingly, he wasn't pronounced dead until after 5 p.m. Was the cornoner on a lunch break? Ironically, the family lived on Paradise Drive. The stabbing happened last month and charges were finally filed against this human detritus yesterday. The punishment he deserves is far more severe than what the liberal judges in this panty-waste state will order. Since Hawaii law doesn't consider an unborn child a person there will probably only ...

Hawaii Senate Majority Leader Gary Hooser (D- 7th; Kauii, Niiihau)had an on-air interview with Perry and Price, one of Hawaii's oldest talk show programs. In the wake of the Waikele parking lot beatings and the bad press this state has received in recent months concerning racism, Larry Price thought it would be a good idea to bring up Senator Hooser's ethinicity as it relates to helping the State and other irrelevancies. Here is the transcript: Price: "You keep using the word 'honest' senator; where you from?" Hooser: "Where am I from? Kapa'a." Price: "Yeah, where were you born and raised?" Hooser: "I was born in California. I graduated high school at Radford High School." Price: "You got blue eyes?" Hooser: "(Laughs) I do. Does that matter?" Price: "Yes, to us it does. Because when local people hear somebody from the Mainland talk about how honest everything is that means that something's wrong. Y...

The recent story about the two men who beat into unconsciousness an Army Sergeant and his wife in a parking is still brewing strong feelings. A local paper featured a commentary by Rick Hamada who labeled the two thugs as "lawless rogues" and "cretins". Many readers wrote in with their outrage and felt the attacks were a disgrace to the people of Hawaii. Please read his article because it will lend credence to something a few paragraphs down. Hamada’s article caught scrutiny from a local woman who tried, in vain, to make the two thugs out as the victims. Unbelievable. Puesta Wong , in her first sentence of her letter titled Paakaula defense, says, "There is really nothing that should excuse or rectify the Waikele beating of what Rick Hamada describes as an 'innocent' military couple." Of course the discerning reader will pick up right away that Wong intends to do just the opposite with her presumptuous use of quotations. What follows would rival...

It was quite a wake up Sunday morning as my bed was shaking like a frat house bed on homecoming night. Hawaii had experienced its hardest earthquake in 20 years and it showed. The islands experience thousands of earthquakes a year but many of them aren’t even noticeable except by seismographs. This is only the second earthquake I have felt (that I can remember, that is. As a child living in CA my mother tells me we had them all the time), the last one was when I was in Guam. The 6.6 magnitude earthquake sent our son running into our bedroom with eyes as wide as saucers. My wife grabbed him and I rolled over our 3 month old daughter who was in bed with us. The whole ordeal lasted about 25 seconds. I thought it was fun and didn’t panic; my wife, a California resident for most of her life, dismissed it as if the quarter had just run out of the vibrating bed in a cheap motel. I got up and surveyed my living room and the only proof of a shakedown was a cigar tube that had rolled onto the ...

An ad for a cruise company offended some people in Hawaii when they portrayed a statue of the late Hawaiian leader King Kamehameha holding a glass of wine in his outstretched hand. Evidently, some Hawaiians feel that their culture is being disrespected. They demanded a full page apology in the magazine the ad appeared in and sensitivity training for the cruise company’s staff. I say, "Go shit in a hat." This embarrasses me as a Hawaii resident and here’s why. The Honolulu Advertiser has several quotes from outraged Hawaiians and also non Hawaiians in the tourism industry. This statement by Wayne Panoke, a member of a Hawaiian culture coalition, had this to say: When I saw it, I was appalled to think that any company would have the audacity to use our culture in that fashion and especially our icon, King Kamehameha Perhaps the ad should have had the head of one of their icon’s enemies? The fall out resulting from the ad is unfortunate; I think the ad is brilliant. It i...

I watched an A&E special called Dog: the Family Speaks Out tonight and I was inspired by a comment on my previous post about Dog to write this one. The comment was made by Anonymous, go figure, and as I started tying out a response the response morphed into this new entry. Anonymous, I can understand why you would not use your real name after a ridiculous post like yours. To someone who reads about this on the news it probably comes off as a bounty hunter getting a taste of his own medicine. Dog is intimidating to look at and most people probably don’t get a warm fuzzy from a first impression. For those of us who live here in Hawaii and have seen this patriot fight for justice, his arrest for a 3 year old charge is highly suspicious at best or, at worst, a new low for the US Marshals and the US Judicial system. "Americans are apparently supposed to happily accept presence the roughly 100,000 criminal aliens inside our borders – a number that is growing every year – while the M...
