Because our childhood was so awesome they redid almost every movie you can think of. Awesome, Lets go watch this!!! Cloak & Dagger Next!!!

Eukarezt did a burner last week for the 7th Letter, depicting How we live in Hawaii but we’re not on vacation was the theme. A week later a bunch of homeless people get their things seized from the police and kicked out of the park. If I had to sacrifice going to the park so that people can call it their home. Why not. I say let them stay, figure out how we as a city and state can help, and stop giving tickets for sleeping at the park. Isn’t HI about enjoying the weather and relaxing? How ironic Waikiki and Kahala are just in walking distance of here. Would it be different if all these people were children? Would the state figure out a way to take care of them? what then? so yes, we’re in Hawaii but we’re not on Vacation & some of us are just trying to survive… We will overcome and succeed, don’t give up Hope. Godspeed.

Homeless people say they were kicked out of Stadium Park yesterday, but police had a different story.

A raid by the city yesterday scattered the homeless as police rounded up their shopping carts at Stadium Park. While deciding where to go next, an upset Bernadette Anderson was calmed down by Elijah Golden. Anderson claims the homeless were given 30 minutes by police to leave the public park or lose their belongings.

“It’s just a cleanup,” Capt. Jerry Wojcik said. “We’re not telling people to leave the park. We don’t want to displace anybody. We know there’s really nowhere to go.”

Police officers arrived at the park at noon and seized 18 shopping carts and several bicycles to clean up the park. The homeless people whose carts were taken were asked to carry their items or throw them away in a city dump truck that was on site, police said.

“They’re actually receptive because we made it clear we’re not kicking them out, just working around them,” said Maj. Robert Green, who added that no one was arrested.

Bernadette Anderson and other homeless citizens gave a different account.

“They told us we had 30 minutes to pack up our (expletive) and get out. They chased us out of there,” Anderson said. “They told us we cannot be in the park, we can’t be on the sidewalk. We have nowhere to go.”

Elijah Golden, who delivers newspapers in the morning with Anderson, added that police seized his bicycle, which was registered under his name.

Roxanne Highland said she was forced to carry her items to the sidewalk on King Street after police took away the shopping cart she was using.

“They said to carry it or lose it,” said Highland, who has lived at the park since April. “This is all I have.”

According to police, residents have complained about the homeless urinating and defecating and blocking the sidewalks around Stadium Park.

Greggory Cuadra, a member of the McCully/Moiliili Neighborhood Board, said the board has discussed the issue before and noted it is a problem.

“A lot of times there’s so many (homeless) there that people don’t want to use (the park),” said Cuadra. “It’s not how Moiliili used to be.”

Cuadra said he hates seeing shopping carts all over the place, but he remains sympathetic to those without homes.

“I would like to see more programs to get the folks off the street, to get them the mental help, the physical help, the addiction help, to get them back to being productive members of the community,” Cuadra said.

Ron Sexton, currently homeless, challenged the city administration to do more for the homeless.

“Nobody seems to be coming up with an alternative,” said Sexton, who attends a weekly Bible study at Stadium Park that includes a free lunch. “There’s actually a lot of pretty decent people who live on the street. They just don’t have a lot of options.”

13 Years ago at the Na Hoku Hano Hano Awards. A time that will be remembered in History forever. We gotta unite, stop fighting, and as IZ said “Choke Cars, Choke Pollution” Is today better than yesterday? What does tomorrow bring?

Matthew 6:34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Together we can all make a difference. What was your good deed of the day?
Miss yah IZ!

Braddah IZ lives on and was played for the Spiritual Harmonizers on America’s Got Talent. I remember washing a bunch of cars, mowing the lawn, and many screens cleaned to buy the E Ala E CD. Still have it and remember going to the State Capital when he passed away. I’m glad his music has made it all around the world and now American’s Got Talent.

What made this even more special was the group it was used for. Amazing performance and representation of singers, (I wonder if they sing the Gospel?) The most talented and humble people are there, even when being credited with having a great voice, the lead singer still seemed ashamed of it. Working together and each one playing their parts, none more important than the other. God can bring all generations together and do something great. Diddy got nothing on making this band.

Richmond, VA- RICH WHA? RICHMOND!! RICH WHA? RICHMOND!
If you haven’t seen Coach Carter go see it!

They almost made Nick Canon break down too, haha.

Some IZ for da road!
