Yeah, because we here in Japan are not used to all this crime in America.
We’re not used to it in Hawaii either. Don’t let Japan get ruined the same way. We vote for same criminal politicians, who just steal our money and protect criminals, over, and over, and over! Just keeps getting worse. You also have to remember that our border is wide open and we probably honestly have been invaded by close to 100 million illegals (total) in the last 40 years (30 million in the last 3.5 years alone). New York and other states are giving criminal aliens free one way tickets to Hawaii. I see tons of non-Americans living on our streets here now. It’s very scary.
Hawaii is not what it used to be. It's so sad.
Oahu is not what it used to be. Kauai is still full of Aloha Spirit. My home 🏡
Honolulu is not a safe place.
The world is not a safe place !
100% AGREE
As a victim of armed robbery here in Waikiki myself. I always warn tourists to be careful. I had family asking if they should come visit I told them to save their money. There's so many nice places to visit on the mainland where it's safer and where they will be appreciated. After COVID things have changed big time.
No. After Maui poeple and children were killed for land, Hawaii has changed big time. Its now war.
Of all people to target omg, Japanese people are so kind. 😢
What's race got to do with it? Whose life should they have threatened to take?
Aloha is a myth. Hawaiian be stealing and robbing everything
@@jamesmanolakis2420 They should go after Filipinos😆........ jk
@@jamesmanolakis2420 Obviously, they shouldn't target anybody, but especially people that are not troublemakers. Jeez. Troll much?
@@Jah-Sun808No? Valid question, as if you mean to imply that whether or not someone is “a troublemaker” is tied to their ethnic background or race… 🫤
haha safest city in the world
" Honolulu the safest city in the world"
Are you drunk? 😂😂
No they are paid to lie.
SharonHarHarHar
By midnight, most of Waikiki becomes an eerie and menacing place
Hawaii is known as a crime ridden place.
Just watch the Simpsons episode.
The rep. is delusional.
"Isolated incident?!"😂 with all these new chronics being released and imported to Oahu, good luck with that. Us older kupuna are strapping up and buying byrnas and blasticks just to go grocery shopping.
the robbery happened right in the tourist area where tourists shouldn't have to be on their guard even late at night. The scrub must have been watching them walk out on the Waikiki groin (pier).
Japanese consulate doing something Green won’t
You hope they'll look at it as an isolated incident? What island are you living on Molokai? Nobody believes that including the Japanese consulate. Either get cops on the street and put some blue security stands out there even if it looks like RoboCop it'll still prevent or help prevent people pulling knives and guns on tourists watching the moonlight..
"Safest city in the world" - Was that published on Apr 1?
Hawaii becoming san francisco
It will be
It is not same like before! Safe place for travelers? Not anymore!
Here we go again. Every time something happens they say that it's an "isolated incident" & "Hawaii is safe". The police can't be everywhere, at every time. Our elected officials are doing nothing to make Hawaii safe. It should be you do the crime, you do the time. Not you do the crime, you get set free hours later...
The police don't even respond to crime at all anymore. Worse yet when caught they're released immediately. No wonder crime is rampant and violent crimes surging.
Isolated incidents because the REST OF THE CRIMES ARE NOT REPORTED!
Safe…ha…
Lol, the safest city in the world? BS! Who’d they pay to make that claim?
The Aloha Spirit is alive with a gun😂 2:43
Let’s see if she cares enough to help. I have a feeling it’s all just empty words PR speak word diarrhea.
Crime is down no? 🙃
Nice kool-aid we are being fed with friendly smiles...which organization voted Honolulu the safest city to visit? Was it the Hawaii Tourism Authority? What a joke.
lets get some undercover agents with rolexes walking around alone....
Common sense? Lady, nobody should be in fear of getting mugged at night.
That's a psychological ploy..... To transfer blame to the victim and steer it away from poor policing and a lenient judiciary.
1:30 in the morning? Nothing good happens after midnight in any city.
Hyperinflation can change this place of Aloha to a place of crimes, 😢
Inflation has nothing to do with it.
@@jamesmanolakis2420 Have u seen the crimes as of lately, 4 ATM heist within this year, 2 families committed murder/suicide this year cause of debt and the high cost of living, shoplifting is on rise that many retail stores has to close up, etc. should I go on???
Hawaii is like the mainland.🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
We have Mainland people so...🤷🏿♂️
VASH is a great organization. They are effective in the way they deal with problems visitors might have
Hawaii gon be the next LA
Do people realize how bad this is? The Japanese actually do look at warnings and abide by advice unlike us in America. Hawaii depends on tourism, or maybe those in power know something we don't and we the tourist economy is a sham. The excuse of being undermanned is not acceptable. Throwing money at people to recruit them into the police department is not the answer. At some point tax payers will push back against paying for services that are not met.
Hawaii depends on wage slavery and the deep state corruption that Hawaii is most famous for.
It doesn't matter if being undermanned is acceptable or not. It is the reality of the police department! Unless you are going to draft people to be police officers!
Welcome to REALITY Hawaii. Aloha is make believe!
Only on Oahu. Kauai is not like this.
Ban crime and drugs Josh
Hawaii needs Japan's law and law enforcement system. Sensible drug laws and a police box on every block where the officer gets to know the people and who the bad actors are.
@@alexcarter8807 more police isn’t the solution. Most here are a part of the problem
Our demographics,are changing
Vraiment..peuple du Atlanta Géorgie
Makes it hard for us who speak Japanese and ever since the 90’s they messed it us for all of us Waikiki boys!
Mufi...audacity safest. Not even! Stop ! You're all about promoting your position, Tourism promoting the industry and slamming us with the "RAIL". Just being part of the "machine".....God bless 🙌 brother, we reap what we sow..❤..
"Isolated"?! Being robbed in Hawai'i? 😂😂😂
What you talking about? The crime in America is all time low. You can go anywhere anytime without any worry. Well, that's what Bill Maher said in his RT show.
greatest country in the world, they say ...
Non Stop Stab bing, Random Shoo ting, Mass Shoo ting, School Shoo ting, Road Rage Shoo ting, Smash and Grab Loo ting, Homelessness, they've got it all ..
What tourist town is safe when you hang out in an isolated area at 1:30 in the morning. Get real people!!!!!!!
Come to the Big Island. You won't be carjacked here.
Good, I hope all the tourists stop coming to hawaii then everyone can get what they've been asking for.
Such BS, there are many other places safer then here. Japan is probably the safest place in the world, you can even park your bike without locks.
On Oahu, I parked my nice bike outside a bowling ally lobby 30' away, to drink of ice fountain water. Turned around to never see it again. 15 seconds.
It's America, we made our cities this way....or should we say our government made them this way indirectly.
Democrats rejoice
We are having a rough time since pandemic and you have people robbing our tourist is gonna create a worst outcome Who wants to visit paradise and get jacked?!!! 😢so sad
"Safe and Sound" declared chef Logan. Safe. And. Sound.
AhloooooowHAHAHA
Soft on crime like any blue state . Protect yourself and your family CCW !!
Actually Red states have higher crime. But the US overall can't claim first world status with its high crime rate.
Hawaii is just like Compton😎
The tourist could help by not going to dark areas in Hawaii at 1:30 am kind of common sense.
Common to who though? Those tourists should’ve educated themselves and not been wandering around at that hour in a place with more crime than their own, but it’s completely normal to be in any city in Japan at 1:30 am and not worry about being a victim of armed robbery.
There is literally a police station right there, wtf are the cops doing on the island. Japan tourism is already at an all time low, once it is completely gone Hawaii is done.
Nothing to see here folks, it's just crimes of opportunity. The old democrat spin, I think im getting dizzy.
Don’t need tourists.
Molokai is doing great economically.
If the tourists stopped coming our economy would crash.
Niihau doing great economically.
😂small population and few businesses, which means there is no economy of scale.
Some challenges facing residents:
limited employment opportunities, high cost of living, welfare dependency, and income below the federal poverty line 😮
We need tourists... All the kamaaina's are in the mainland😊
@@mr808steelersthat’s the Molokai Slide.
Take me back
Take me back
Back to the kine
When i was jumped and robbed the police arrested me for jumping him back to retrieve my wallet . Hawaii cops are currupted
