Dear friends,
If anything happens to my wellbeing, then you may suspect of a foul play, e.g. accident…etc.
Fyi, Two different people threatened to assault me (by throwing a punch) and (by drowning) at two different times, in Ala Moana park and beach, a while ago. (These incidents are other than the first incident that I reported that I was punched in the head last year.)
Note: I did not report to you when they happened, because I felt they might be isolated incidents like the first incident (punched in my head), and I did not get hurt at all in both times.
Thank you very much for your attention.
P.S.
1.In the incident of threatening to drown me, on the day of the incident, I called and reported the incident to a friend, who, I thought, might know the harasser better. But, afterwards, somehow, the friend is not answering my phone calls anymore, (for a while), til now.
So, I just felt weird that I should now report on facebook…
2.The other incident appeared to be happened (and threatened) by a mentally ill (unknown) person; but, it was not clear if he was in fact mentally ill.
But, luckily, I was able to avoid the attack because he did not throw punch after my continuous plea not to hurt.
Both incidents happened before I left for Kauai in November.
Our society’s one main problem.
Many people only demand their rights, but not want to take responsibilities.
Media in Hawaii may not be an exception.
I am pretty sure they know what they have been doing were sometimes against their journalistic ethics and professionalism.
But, they may want to justify in the name of their survival…
Well, even if and when I get elected, (if I run), Media Reform is not going to be an easy task.
But, my basic philosophy is going to be based on “Aloha”, (and “Ohana”).
We first need to forgive them of their past wrongdoing, once they are willing to reform.
Then, we may need to help promote their self reform, and ask them to provide their own action plan or blueprint.
If they need any government help doing their own reform, especially financially, then we may want to help them as much as we can. (Of course, these may have to be discussed and consulted with legislators and other government officials as well as many other people including intellectuals.)
But, after the reform, we want to make sure their independence of free press from any governmental influence, possibly by implementing a law, ensuring their rights; (so long as they don’t deviate much from balanced professional journalism–We may also need to implement and have a good media law, as well).
Media Reform may have to be the first among professionals, and also among all people.
It is because it may be most cost-effective way and for other future necessary reforms in our society.
