The Angel at the Bus stop arrested and back within 48 hours
My Angel at the Bus stop fronting the Kapaa neighborhood center was arrested Thursday November 2nd for open lewdness for being exposed while cleansing her body under a tarp that had blown away. ElAina has lived
at that bus stop the last 11 months. She eats there, bathes there and discreetly performs her bodily functions there. After being arrested a water truck was there spraying and disinfecting the area at county expense.
I was happy for my friend after she was arrested, I finally thought she would get the help she so desperately needs--however now she is back at the bus stop after the minimum 48 hour incarceration period.
ElAina was sent to the hospital and medical professionals found nothing wrong with her besides diarrhea.
You can physically look at my friend and see her legs and feet are inflated like balloons, 4-5 times
their normal size. She cannot even walk across the street to the Chinese restaurant on her own since her legs are in such pain. Plus anyone living at a bus stop needs help, in my opinion. This does not take a medical degree to diagnose her. These doctors should have their licenses revoked as far as I'm concerned. The judge released her without prejudice.
Political correctness will not improve the situation for this lovely angel.
If every homeless person decided to take residence at a bus stop what would happen? Would the county still do nothing and say their hands are tied? That's what they say when you call and talk with them.
I also guarantee that an attorney could find a technicality in the law to get her off the street and find her the help she so desperately needs.
I rest my case.

November 8, 2017 marked the 1 year anniversary since Donald J. Trump was elected president of the free world. My editorial appeared that day in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser... "Liberals should show respect for presidency"
The November 10, 2017 edition of the Honolulu Staradvertiser complimented my above letter form November 8th. This is a nice change from the usual getting my chops busted. Check it out!
