The fighter who knocked out a Hawaii Democrat has revealed the brawl was caused by the wannabe politician pulling out a knife and claimed he had a gun.
Kama Homan claimed Kirill Basin, 40, threatened to shoot the wife of a 61-year-old man after he complained Basin was playing music too loud on the Maui beach on Saturday.
Viral footage showed Homan battering Basin before leaning over his limp body and branding him a “Haole,” a pejorative term Polynesian islanders call white people. Homan told Hawaii News Now: “I’m like, maybe I should intervene, and then as I got closer and closer, he was just getting more irate and violent and then saying stuff. ‘I’m going to hurt you’ or ‘I can injure you’ or ‘You like to scrap’ to the aunties.”

he spelled ahole wrong ...
I dunno... Kama Homan looks pretty white to me in these other photos.
“How about a nice Hawaiian Punch?”
“Sure!”
He had to have said that.
What a bizarre twisted thing.
"Owlie", round eyes.
I never thought of it as pejorative, just descriptive.
I can’t make any sense out of the article. Who is who?
Haole technically means white, but a lot of native Hawaiians, including mixed race and light-skinned Hawaiians, use it to refer to white people who aren’t from the islands not to whites in general.
They both look kinda white.
No, technically haole means anyone who isn’t ethnically Hawaiian, but it’s used for people who are white.
Wapo trying to make it about race and that white supremacy cause their BFF candidate got pummeled.
So many candidates for public office are saying the wildest things to try to stand out. It truly worked this time
Kirill Basin is a haole terror....
Sleeping on the beach can lead to sunburns. I hope the Democratic candidate had sunscreen
right - my feel is that this was more cultural than racist.
Kirill Basin is a haole terror....with a glass jaw.
He picked a fight and he lost. That should be the entire story, who cares who said what?
“How about a nice Hawaiian Punch?”
LMAO!
Basin is the twit swinging the chair. Homan is the one who punched him out.
