The gun owner probably thought, and rightly as well, that he was a looter.

This guy was on Fox News a day or two before this incident. He needs to go to jail. You don’t aim a loaded pistol at someone unless you intend to kill him. The guy he aimed his pistol at was apparently unarmed and was a resident. This nutcase just thought that being on TV was cool. Hiring a lawyer is going to cost him a bundle

Not very neighborly. The old-timer should have backed off.

Odd, Hawaii has some of the most strict gun laws in the Country.

Well, here is 1/3 of the story.

A Hawaiian hothead.... reached a boiling point

Okay I got it, volcano metaphors. They had a 'heated discussion', one of them 'gets his rocks off' on having meltdowns....etc.

The people repeatedly said, 'We live here'.

At no time did the shooter stop to ask for proof; 'Put your drivers license on the ground and back away'.

The shooter was completely irrational.

He's lucky he was arrested for menacing and not first degree murder.

If he was standing on his own property and these people threatened him that would be different.

Blocking the street while waving a gun and shooting at people you don't know who show no threat to you is indefensible.

This proves guns are bad

Tensions and stress is over the top for those living in the area, which used to bepeaceful.

Note: I am advocating neither for nor against Mr. Hubbard here. I just want to shed some light on the situation that may be helpful.

Through the efforts of a gentleman that posts video to YouTube of the destruction and events in the Leilani Estates subdivision, I have become aware of Mr. Hubbard and his property.

The gentleman that posts the videos has a YouTube identity of “ApuaHawaiiTours”. He has been posting videos almost daily that chronicle the destruction that is currently taking place in the neighborhood. The videos are fascinating and at the same time heartbreaking. The videographer lives in the neighborhood but his house is not threatened.

Followers of the video channel have come to know Mr. Hubbard and his property. We know him as “Bill”. Just yesterday the videographer was in Mr. Hubbard’s yard watching the advance of the lava onto the property. (Mr. Hubbard at the time was busy dealing with the authorities). I had thought that Mr. Hubbard was resigned to the fate of his property and was ready. Frankly, I was surprised at this turn of events when he went off on the young man.

If you are of the mind, I would recommend going to YouTube and watching the videos from ApuaHawaiiTours. Most of them are dated and go back to May 5, 2018 when this volcano mess started. Again, the videographer is an amateur
and does not have an agenda unlike most of the media.

I don’t condone what Mr. Hubbard did. It was surely wrong. But I don’t wish to be the judge, jury nor executioner. Walk a mile in his shoes, etc...

Just my two cents worth....

As the videographer says at the end of each video, “Aloha”.

Must be the hot lava baking people’s brains!

Where is the video???
