This is why no one wants to help them.

Let's all thanks Gov Green for all his compassion!

The area is under constant surveillance from cameras located near the ground. The drone flying overhead can't see anything the ground cameras aren't already surveilling 24/7. More than likely they were making an orthophoto map for the purpose of measuring distances, volumes, etc for enhancing the infrastructure trying to help these people. And they get rewarded by getting assaulted.

Just like the homeless. Think the world owes them. Don't know why tax payers should help them with anything. Don't do anything to help them. By helping them, your teaching them to not help themselves.

Unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle + assault= FREE housing

May boy here. I used train 5am running Kahana 2 miles. No way I would do that today. Maui is filled with people with no roots so they dont kea about anybody.

This is a prime example of why people in tents should not be allowed. Just who do they think they are freeloading off Hawaii which we all have to work and struggle to pay our rent let alone bills and food⁉️ Get a job or get out. Hawaii is not free for drug addicts and lazy people. Many jobs are available. Grow up and accept responsibility. Mainlanders go home. States are not allowing this behavior, it's against the law yes. 🙏✌️❤️🤙

So sad for both peoples involved.

District 9

The result of woke socialiam!

They did drone surveys like that in Kailua here on Oahu a while back and if you read some of the posts on the Nextdoor app people were immediately assuming that drones were illegal and that they were going to be robbed the next day, calling police demanding that the workers be jailed, asking others if it was legal to shoot the drones down, harassing and threatening the workers directly, ect. Eventually other people from the neighborhood managed to calm them down a bit but…

Assaulted at the new homeless encampment! Nah! No can be. The people who have not been about to get their lives together enough to keep public housing are not dangerous or mentally unstable. How could this happen?

No p.t. required?

Giving the land to haoles weathy forgetting about true kanaka maoli. Me ke aloha to the island may the culture malama aina and each other. County and entire government can and need to do betta

Nobody had a phone. No one knows who might have done this. It's a mystery. Who flew the drone? Nobody knows.

I thought it was safe there 😮😮😮

Just cuz you don't sleep in a box Doesn't mean your your not People People Deserve reasonable respect and privacy.

The mayor is physically here but that's it.

Were the drones necessary? because that's what triggered the attack. County no can go there in person and talk story or what?

Maybe the man should have said why they were flying the drone.

If people don’t want to be part of society and be productive then they need re-educated. Our society creates these problems because of the approach. You must work even if it’s picking up garbage to eat. Our give away society has created this mass of people not wanting to work. Why should they, we feed them for doing nothing.

Hey Kimo- ya know those Vetnam vets who were just given tents down at the park- whaddtya say we go down there and harass them wid drones cuz we got nuttin else to do on Aloha Friday. Wow- they mad!

The drones interrupted their illegal operations

Try to cage an aggressive dog, one might get bitten, the ball was dropped when no security was provided for the country workers. I would not be surprised if those workers sued the whoever. I would also like to add I’m commenting on what was reported here, in which I feel was a real travesty of investigative journalism-par for course? not even. 👎

I would have done the same thing those drones are irritating when they want to fly low and get into your space.

Drones are wrong, but don't justify this.

Lucky we live Hawaii!! NOT !!!!

They are aggressive.

Entitled jerks harming our workers. How much should we take!

They should all behave. After all, there is a sign.

Hazard pay. Give it a Shaka.

wack

BLM, peons?

Democrat Utopia…

Invasion of privacy

Hawaii is trash😂

Well, it proves that whether you are housed or unhoused there are consequences to unwarranted surveillance. It's not ok to fly surveillance drones over housing or private residence so why is it ok to do it against people less fortunate? We live in a society where we are separated by class and wealth status where rights only exist for those able to afford the luxury. Why are people allowed to be housed in tents in a parking lot for the fact proper, dignified low-income housing is being built?

Mika you are so beautifully gorgeous 🥰
