Man Beats Ex-Girlfriend to Death

Yesterday at about 5:45pm, a black Ford Explorer ran a stop sign at about 60mph and slammed into a white car on Maluniu Avenue.  When the woman stepped out the car, which had spun around since the impact was so great, a man came out of his Ford Explorer, ran to the woman, and punched her in the face.  He then went back to his car and grabbed a gun, came back to her, and started clubbing her with the gun.  A neighbor tried to help the woman out, but the suspect pointed the gun at him and told him to step back, to which the woman tried to run away again.  The suspect then chased after her, hit her in the stomach, and when the neighbor tried to help again, the suspect hit the neighbor in the back of the head with the gun.  She tried to crawl away, but the suspect repeatedly beat her on the head again, then got in his Explorer and drove away.  She was pronounced dead by the time she was in the hospital 15 minutes after the incident occurred.  (Source: Honolulu Advertiser).

What is going on.  The suspect is believed to be her ex-boyfriend whom they both had a child with together.  The man was 6 foot 2 and 340 pounds.  I’m sure she couldn’t do anything to defend herself, and with a gun, most people who wanted to help would be scared for their own lives.  This is jsut messed up.  I can’t believe someone would go as far as beating up their ex-girlfriend in such a vicious way.  Maybe he wasn’t trying to kill her, but you have to admit that he was out to hurt her, and real bad.  To take a metal object like the butt of a gun and repeatedly hit someone…I don’t think anyone will escape without injury.  And from a 340 lb man?

Domestic violence is just not necessary.  It angers me that people to this day still hit their supposed loved one.  Why resort to violence?  What will violence ever solve?  It will only cause more conflict, and you can be sure they aren’t going to love you back as much.  Some men think that violence will empower them, so that their wife or girlfriend will do whatever they say.  Really?  Those guys need to get punished just to know what it feels like.  OK, I know I said violence isn’t the answer, but I was getting ahead of myself.  Anyhow, bottomline is domestic violence isn’t the answer.  It’s wrong, it’s messed up, and it will solve nothing.

    What pisses me off is how nobody thought of just going into their car n giving the a$$h013 a taste of his own medicine by chasing him down. I don’t mind immigrants living here, don’t get me wrong,but if they are going to live here they have to adapt to our ways and our laws. Yes, we have laws and manors and a “civlization” here. If guys like this Ike Turner wanna be can’t deal with it then go back to his island. And these guys wonder why they are loosing they’re polynesian women to white men. It because the better gender would rather be wooed by chocolates and flowers then blows to our head so men can drag us back to they’re caves for they’re having. What did that huge Samoan man think? We would pat him on the back for what he had done and he could so romanticly walk off into the sunset with his pretty yet submissive corpse?

    I think we got our answer as to why Hawaii has so many happily single women and an ever growing lesbian population.

    I agree with running this guy down with your car. It’s unbelievable that no one thought of that; they stood by and let this man commit murder. They are all accessories to the act. I was beaten for 10 years by a local and I am a local too but don’t live there anymore. My now ex got away with everything from several beatings that could have escalated to murder, he almost killed my father, he kidnapped my son (not his) and held him at gunpoint, he followed me and my mother and did everything but actually attack us. Watch the movie “The Burning Bed”…that was me and I sometimes wish I had burned him up or shot him to stop his psychotic acts but if I did, I would not have 2 more children who are the light of my life. However, this psycho still lives, makes good money, never paid child support and tells lies to my children; he apparently is living in a fantasy world. He is the one person that I and God know I can not seem to forgive. He made my life, my kids life and my family’s life a living hell. The sad thing is that others in my family and those in his family knew what he was doing and they did nothing…they too stood by like cowards afraid. Now I suffer from the continued beatings to the head and the kicks to my back. I can not work and my only relief from the back pain which is caused by (him) and fractures and bone spurs in my lower back is to live in my wheelchair. He has never said he was sorry or admitted to what he did; according to him it was all my fault. If I read another story like this I just don’t know what I will do. Violence towards another has escalated and we wonder why the world is going to hell.

    Do something about it!
