And we’re not talking about pea-shooters here. The charges are for conspiring with a known Chinese organized crime lord to illegally import millions of dollars worth of serious firepower, including rocket launchers and machine guns!
In 1992, Yee was arrested for the alleged shoplifting of a bottle of tanning oil from the KTA Superstore in Kona’s Keauhou Shopping Village. The case was not prosecuted, as Yee disappeared before he could be prosecuted.
We should totes trust these people, rather than GREEDY HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES, cuz like they’re Democrats and we all know that Democrats are the SMART people, the GOOD people, the CARING people … except they’re not. I’ll take a greedy health insurance company over government any day. If they break the law, I can report them or sue them or take my business elsewhere. With the government … not so much. I won a settlement against Social Security for improperly shorting my disability payments by $4,000. That was 12 years ago. I’m still waiting for them to reimburse me. The lawyer just shrugs and says, “They’re slow. It’s in the system, so there’s nothing to do but wait.”

You know, the longer I live, there is one observation that seems to be crystallizing into a truism: When an individual (e.g.: preacher, politician, major leader) rants on a particular issue to an unusual degree, look closely at THEM, for there is a strong likelihood they are either struggling against that very thing, or they are NOT struggling and this is a smoke screen.

Yes, and the more cognizant of it I am, it changes the way I look at someone. I think of some political “reverends,” local “anti-violence/drug/porn activists” and their ilk and I now watch them with a different understanding. It has been enlightening.
