Once forensic evidence gets washed away, there's not much the HPD could do. It will just be the fines and minimum sentence, which can be served with community service instead.

KHON2 is very polite. At least, they are calling it an “incident” now as opposed to Chelsea Davies’ “accident”. Is this the type of journalism we have now? The DLNR investigation was obviously botched. It is up to HPD to make things right. Chances are this will be blown out into an international interest, not because of the incident but because of a bigger issue: How it was handled. If so

Journalism is being taken over by social media and journalists still don’t get it; and FBI is being taken over by another FBI, Facebook Inquiry. I hope law and policing bodies, like the DLNR take heed if they still want to remain relevant to society. The law and the media are there “for” the people, not the other way around. The media, being private businesses, is hurting in finances. Layoffs

Sad day for the Shim family, sad day for Hawaii, sad day for Justice and sad day for the Truth. At least, this finally unmasked the Butler cult for what it really is. If the families still involved in this cult could still justify what the hell are they in there for ... that not even God or the Truth could ever change their minds, I rest my case. Absolute Truth my ass.

An excellent piece by Flash, very journalistic. Shame on Hawaiian journalists covering the Sri Shim tragedy. To not follow up a legitimate public issue is a betrayal of journalism standards and ethos. In the old days, journalists will go out of the way to get to the bottom of things affecting communities.

It is really up to the Kailuans if they are to own Kailua, particularly Lanikai, free from unscrupulous self-interest groups, let alone a destructive cult disrupting the local ways of life.

The inflatable is indeed punctured and is sinking, fast. I’m elated for what is happening in Kailua. My heart goes to the family of Sri Shim, R.I.P.; together with step-son, Trey. He will remain an icon for what’s unfolding – a monumental event, perhaps pivotal for the anti-cult movement; thus, his demise is not in vain.

It’s called Psychic Sleep. You lie flat down on the floor and meditate on a mantra sound or mind picture, usually a god. An airy feeling flies you off to an otherworldly world of dreams, where sometimes you get to speak to a deity, and you wake up feeling divine. That is the exercise.
