Aloha in Oahu
ALOHA: Reposting from Kellie Halemano Mike K: Pretty horrible to see this...I understand everyone has their own lives and things to do but you have to stop for things like this. He was in such a dangerous situation. Also, kudos to the EMS paramedic that pushed him uphill all the way to QMC. "I’m sharing this out of altruism,not for any personal accolades…it’s crazy , Hawaii people complain about how our island is changing . Yet, for all the vehicles that drove by before me and after- why are we not surprised ? -------- Don't mind the horrible video in the beginning, but I'm ashamed of all the vehicles that drove by this poor poor elderly man on Fort Weaver Road this morning. Believe me, I would have wanted to be home too but my conscience couldn't be like the nearly 100 of vehicle that passed him before I stopped and while I was stopped. What made it worse? I called 911 and the operator hung up on me while I was talking and just said police had been dispatched. I said this was an emergency. She didn't ask me what the elderly man was wearing, what he was doing, etc -the normal questions one is asked when we call 911. Ironically an ambulance came but still no police .. I stayed for a long while ! Eventually left when another ambulance came . My moral compass would not allow me to leave this man in the road. So I stopped, what could be so important in your day -that no one would stop prior to me? Vehicles were speeding pass as I waited, going well over the speed limit for the road... Do better people! I may never know what's so important that the vehicles before me would let a person, let alone an elderly man …whose partially in the left lane not help? As you l was leaving driving in the opposite direction, a Honolulu Police Department subsidized white forerunner with no lights on … then a little further down, another subsidized gray forerunner with but his blue light on , just no sense of urgency -driving at a normal speed. Good thing these 2 men driving behind me on Fort Weaver Rd got out of their vehicles to help! See less" Let's continue to spread aloha and help each other in our community!
