Organized poisoning of the Aina. Federal charges are very serious.

If in fact the alleged illegal dumping of toxic materials is true, those slime-bag environmental terrorists should be locked up for life. Poisoning people via drinking water is no different from pulling the trigger.

Pretty sad considering you can take your tires and batteries to any convenience center and dispose of them at no expense. The only thing is you are limited in how many you can dump per day, so lazy people and businesses just dump them anywhere. Do like the homeless do and just throw them all over the parks. If caught, they won't do anything to you if you're a bum. Don't worry about law enforcement, there is none that I've seen.

It is all well and good to send these guys to prison, but what about the so called business men who paid to be allowed to pollute? They ought to be in the cell in the same prison.

Evidently, money is in control here. People don't care for the safety of other when there is $$$$$$ involve. Let the "law of the land" take its course.

What a dog and pony show, busting a couple old burn-outs on a junk farm. Tell me there aren't any bigger fish to fry, corporate types with attorneys. Oh, that explains it...

Good to see attorney Kubo involved in something more useful than busting Korean liquor store owners for selling rolling papers!
Way to go EPA!!!!

As part of their sentence they and those that dumped there hazardous material should be given hand tools and made to reclaime the land. House them in tents and feed them Bologna sandwiches.

Rather than a fine and prison time (on our dime mind you) how about they live on the land they poisoned. Grow their own food on it and sink a well there for water.....now THAT would be justice.

TIRES???????

I thought that was something that fell of the trees in the beach parks and was what killed the trees on Maili point. Aren't they an important part of landscaping?

No, an important part of landscaping in Hawai'i involves cutting down native plants and building beachfront resorts (so the monk seals and honu have playmates nearby at all times) and new condos marketed to off-islanders (mainly from Asia).

It does wonders for the soil beneath the foundation, and the new condos add more trash to our already overflowing trash system.

Now that's how you run an island with the most endangered and extinct species, and least amount of land!

Bleh!

Any "REWARD MONEY" for turning in these toxic sites? I know at least 5 more out here on the Westside I see every day. Go to Google Earth, photo's, 3 years old but you can still spot the dump site out here.

Its about time that EPA gets off their butts and go after these people in Waianae and Nanakuli. This has been going on for years. Look harder and you will find more waste dumps out there. You'll probably find some bodies too.

Turn 'em in, I'd like to see what the government will do about it. I think you'd have better esults telling the press first.
