Honolulu: Man Stops and Kills Mass Shooter, and Is Promptly Arrested...for Murder

The Chief of Police is an idiot and a liar.

But Hawaii may be the most leftist state in America, but it is so far away we get so little news abut it.

This is pure crazed leftist nonsense here.

The police chief of Honolulu was happy to announce that it didn’t matter if you have “license” to carry a gun and you are defending yourself and, in fact, stop a mass shooting on your own property you will be arrested for murder. A few days ago the following happened:

Three people were killed and two others injured in a shooting at a home stemming from a dispute between neighbors on Saturday night in Waianae, a west Oahu community. The shooter was also fatally shot by a resident, who was arrested on a second-degree murder charge, police said.

Police Chief Arthur Logan (he wants you to call him “Joe”) told the local paper that in the state of Hawaii and in his city, you cannot defend yourself based on “stand your ground” principles. He said:

“In Hawaii, we are a non ‘stand your ground’ state. Even if you have a license to carry, if you're an individual that discharges a firearm that is involved in injuring another person, ... you're going to be arrested.”

Oh, ok Arthur. The Hawaii Penal Code begs to disagree with Mr. Logan:

§703-304 Use of force in self-protection. (1) Subject to the provisions of this section and of section 703-308, the use of force upon or toward another person is justifiable when the actor believes that such force is immediately necessary for the purpose of protecting himself against the use of unlawful force by the other person on the present occasion.
(2) The use of deadly force is justifiable under this section if the actor believes that deadly force is necessary to protect himself against death, serious bodily injury, kidnapping, rape, or forcible sodomy.
(3) Except as otherwise provided in subsections (4) and (5) of this section, a person employing protective force may estimate the necessity thereof under the circumstances as he believes them to be when the force is used without retreating, surrendering possession, doing any other act which he has no legal duty to do, or abstaining from any lawful action.

Logan had the man arrested although it seems pretty clear that he killed a would-be mass-murderer and was defending himself and others. Logan had the man who stopped a mass-shooting arrested for “second-degree murder." Logan seems like a man high on his own fumes. The days of "Magnum P.I." are over. To repeat, “In Hawaii, we are a non ‘stand your ground’ state,” he said. “Even if you have a license to carry, if you're an individual that discharges a firearm that is involved in injuring another person ... you're going to be arrested.” Arthur will have you handcuffed, perp-walked, booked, photographed for murder. Yes, the man who stopped a mass murder was eventually released, but he will forever be the guy "arrested for murder."

Nothing like chilling a constitutional right, Arthur.
