There are large amounts of homeless on Maui but most stick to public access areas. Taking the law into your own hands will only lead to law suits that cost you not them, I know first hand. Law enforcement is extremely laid back on the island. Had a guy crossing my land daily, had him on video and had video of encounters with him. Was told if any harm came to him on my land (he was illegally crossing) I would be in trouble for it. Security engaged with him and i was sued and had to pay the guy for crossing my land.
@@swanmaui595someone did a video in Oahu where they interviewed homeless people and they said most were coming in from the mainland. Is that also the case in Maui?
As a Polynesian u Americans fwucked hawaii up real good most pacific nations don’t have that much homeless…..in our culture it’s normal for us to welcome them into our homes and help them……….and p.s these owners feelings is exactly the same feelings as indigenous Hawaiians and it’s pretty fwucked how I have to say indigenous aswell soo it’s kinda of hypocritical for these owners to be complaining………
Its a failure of local government when private citizens are forced to use their own funds in addition to the high taxes they already pay, to get the basic services they need like protection from the droves of criminals Honolulu has released back onto the streets, leaving the public to bear the brunt of the problem. Its always some excuse why "nothing can be done" by local government: plenty of reasons provided why they: cant fix the roads, cant deal with the homeless, cant tackle crime, cant provide enough affordable housing , cannot reduce expenses for working people whom they were intended to serve in the first place. Great to see one person standing up and doing something, maybe local officials will take some notes on how to get things done.
The local government officials have so many things/services that they can't provide, just like you said, but those same officials feel they deserve a pay increase. I don't understand the thought process of these government representatives. Take those pay raises and catch that $15k per month security bill that the business owner is footing so his fellow shop owners and customers can feel safe.
@@johnjerman3421 its about what the ppl of ChinaTown have been saying for decades already and the lack of any effective response from law enforcement to address the consistent reports. Maybe the police are understaffed, maybe they are underfunded, but that is no excuse to stop there. Solve the issue, that is the job of public officials. Not to make excuses of why another basic thing cant get done. Law enforcement is either effective enough or not. If its not working as it was designed to, make changes. this is so basic.
@@educated_guess City council has spoken. Their top priority is to secure more pay for themselves, anything else is a secondary concern. that is a bad omen for the rest of us, as we can see they have no serious intentions of serving the community, as they have made their move to put themselves first and vote for their own pay raises against the will of the community and those who elected them.
Maybe the citizens should run the cause out of town. The same corrupt politicians that have made life time jobs out of stealing from the taxpayers.... And the city council, who caused this is giving themselves a 64% raise. Run them out of town.
This is good you hire the private security guards. Protect downtown and especially our elders who shop in that area. Take back the islands from the knuckleheads. Protect the kupuna
A lot of Hate for the Homeless… I’m sure there is a better solution… And the way that guy openly showed his disdain will not get him the people he needs 😢
It's sad that the business owners need to hire private security to keep law and order. However, it is a good thing that they are there so the vendors and customers have a sense of security and can shop and eat in peace.
But you're going to do what you got to do it every day for at least a week and then two or three days a week for a month. And then probably start all over with everyday of the week. I live in the Florida Keys and it's a nice warm climate but the homeless people stay pretty much outasight. We have places where no one goes, unless they want to feed mosquitoes.
It's more important to protect tourist areas than the local businesses. It's all about the 💵, relying on tourism for our prosperity. Unfortunately I don't think there's another industry that would be feasible in Hawaii. I could be wrong.
This hiring will also protect local shoppers and especially the kupuna who have had it with the drugs and theft they see. Many stayed away for fear of being victimized and now there’s a ray of hope shopping can get back to normal.
@@ronwhitfield8356 I wouldn’t cry. Remember the rooftop Koreans in LA? They gave and got it back. Nobody, including me cried about it. We all applauded those Koreans for taking the fight to the looters.
@@prst99 when they take it beyond legal means, that's the issue, then they face legit retaliation, especially if they accost law abiding citizens. vigilantes always incur the same need to be restrained / corrected, that's when the crying starts.
This is what SF should have done when vagrants and drugs moved in. The owner and vendors are taking the matter into their own hands. I applaud them! Private security is not cheap but it’ll be worth it in the long term. The owner cares about his customers. These are after all, the people who are his paying customers and they MUST be kept safe. And their presence alone is a very welcoming force to be reckoned with.
Yeah, but I live in California, and Hilo. In California, They make you look like you are an inconsiderate fiend without compassion for these people that destroy your private lives and businesses by looting or even lighting it on fire. They offer them temporary housing that many will not take and prefer to live outdoors. They see this as only moving the problem down the line. I have employed the homeless, they stay for a short time then quit because it too structured. They want a hand-out for free. It has become their lifestyle. I do understand the problems because it is bad here in Orange county also. I was about to get attacked by a drugged homeless man yesterday while stopped at a traffic lite. He stopped though because showed that I would fight back...like these business owners. Mahalo to them for taking charge.

@@hawaiiguy1kawikadee might be joking but this kind of security used to work in the old days. It shouldn’t be looked down on as “no class.” Now we have contracts and unions and mandates for the protection of those security guards too so everything has to be on the up and up. But I remember my kung fu friends from high school who had to “punch the clock” on nights and weekends to hang around the entrance of their parent’s jewelry and snack shops. Those shops were protected and were never touched by outside elements.
Politicans in office makes island local life harder everyday. Higher taxes, price out of paradise. Criminals get more rights than law abiding citizens. Everything starts from the top and work it way down to the bottom. When rail starts at the end of the month. Crime going get even higher.

criminals need more rights than law abiding citizens cos some citizens want to abuse / kill the criminals. what politicians are better then our politicians?
I wont go to ChinaTown anymore because of all the druggies and homeless i just don’t feel safe. Kudo’s to the owner for hiring his own team since HPD is good for nothing.
They are good at monopolizing the civillians parking spaces around the Chinatown station, where they hang out in droves, while crime occurs outside their door.
I like that someone is taking initiative for this stuff. But not the "I wanna play dress up like a cop tacticool security." I bet they will become a liability and big headed.
Less bums mean less crime, a more inviting place to shop, more legit customers, and higher sales. The landlord can then in good conscience pass some of the security cost through to the rents. The security will pay for itself, maybe not right away, but give it a few weeks.
Private security has limited authority, jurisdiction The have no aithority in public, esp public didewalks. They are limited to employer property. Caution impersonators. 🤺💐
Unfortunately, It's a place of business, where money and goods are being bought and exchanged, but if customers feel threatened or intimidated by homeless, panhandlers or drugggies and alcoholics, they will not patronize the businesses, causing loss of revenue!
Shouldn't have to hire private security to do what the government that caused this problem by cutting taxes that supported programs meant to address mental health issues, as well as facilitating the export of manufacturing jobs to offshore markets, and aggressively busting unions through legislative decisions.
Money corrupts the good, that had very weak souls to protect themselves from serving innocent they were trained and hired to protect, takes a strong soul of good meaning to be one with the people that it intends to protect; at the cost what taxpayer pays and nothing more or less.
It’s a hard time trying to deal with a cracky especially fresh off a new batch lol…easier to sit in the squad car under a shady tree with the speedometer and then take a 45min nap after the first 5 speeders

Why so many homeless and druggie in Hawaii ??? It can’t be that hard to put an end to drugs and dealers in a small island why is it so hard to control it ?
Someones opening themselve up to a huge lawsuit. He will be held responsible for any injury or illegal removal. In my opinion. There is so much wrong here. The owner should be careful.
An overblown tactic from a guy wanting a tax break. The first lawsuit that comes in and the security will cease the answer is more affordable housing and services at the point of stability.
What are you even suggesting? The City doesn’t have the money to hire police to patrol the area, where is the money coming from to hire security? If the City had the money and man power, they’d have placed officers on foot patrol. But sometimes private sector has to kick in to protect their own and it’s a brave, caring, guest owner that stepped up. Good on him! He’s a hero for the vendors and customers.
The officers have to follow the law by the tee, which gives the homeless too much rights. Private security can be like bar bouncers, rough up the homeless.
@@jasestrickland1704 They had the money, but it was more important to fleece the taxpayers and fatten their wallets by wasting billions on their stupid rail, which is going to bankrupt the city. And no bathrooms at any station.

Many qualified men and women would love to protect our communities serving as a police officer and all the hardships that come along with the title, work life balance and potential mental issues that come with the territory. They should be paid as much as nurses and then some. Make the policyholder see, make them live there. Take your pound of flesh Hawaii IMUA!
Chronic joes!...run while you can!
