Dillon Ching
21 05 2007This post is dedicated to Dillon Ching who was fatally shot last night in his hometown, on his own property, trying to break up a fight that took place Saturday evening.
Although I do not know him personally, I wanted to take this time for us all to pray for his family, wife Desiree and 2 year old son Isaiah that he leaves behind along with his extended family.
What is it with the guns in Hawai’i? This is the second murder by someone being fatally shot point blank in one week! What’s the freaking deal people? I know we’re all stressed, I know we are all caught in a bind, and struggling financially and within our own selves, but what is the deal? Have we become a people with no pride? A people that has weakend into this kind of filth? Have we allowed others to choose this way of life without carelessness, without honor? I am sure what ensued was men testosteroning out from alcohol or what have you, and I’m sure during the hours of the aumoe, men are more macho with that mixture, but Lord help! Why could they have not come to a different conclusion like take your frustrations out daily at the gym, in the ocean, or working hard daily? This is why exercise is sooooo important. One of the reasons anyhow, but you need to empty out the poison we comsume from the stresses of daily life somehow! And, it should not be amongst ourselves we empty and unleash the beast within. WE ARE IN CONTROL. WE CANNOT ALLOW THAT PART OF US TO CONTROL US.
And then, what will our future look like? When an altercation arises, what then do we do? Mind our own business in fear of ourselves and the livelihood of our own family? Hawai’i nei has NO ROOM FOR PEOPLE LIKE THIS. YOU WANNA FIGHT AND ACT MACHO, CARRY GUNS, CARRY BATS AND BEAT PEOPLE WHO ARE STILL ON THE GROUND? GO FIGHT IN THIS GOOD FOR NOTHING WAR WITH THOSE GOOD FOR NOTHING ENERGIES YOU CARRY AROUND INSIDE OF YOU. WE ARE NOT THE ENEMY. YOU WANNA SHOOT PEOPLE? THEN SHOOT THE PEOPLE WHO SET BOMBS IN PLACES WHERE WOMEN AND CHILDREN GO SHOPPING IN IRAQ, GO BE MACHO OVER THERE. GO BE THE MAN WITH YOUR GUNS AND TESTOSTERONE OUT OVER THERE. WITH MEN AND WOMEN WHO CHANT “DEATH TO AMERICANS”. GO! BECAUSE YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE IN OUR HAWAI’I!!!!!!!!
If anyone has any information to the shooter, I think it right that you turn him in unless he has one ounce of pride or honor to turn himself in. Shoot someone and then run away, what kind of person is this? Is that even considered human? I don’t even think cowards are human. Rats.
And to the Ching family, we send our deepest aloha and farewell to your fallen beloved Dillon Ching.

greetings people of mighty j land.... i come in peace. i've come to BREAK the SILENCE in this SHOUTBOX!!!!!!! Hope all is well where you are! 
it's friday!!!!!!
Wow, I’m sorry to hear about what happened to Dylan. It is truly a tragedy that should never take place here in Hawai’i. Personally, I’m not an advocate of guns or the need for guns. I can’t fathom what kind of thoughts go through someone’s mind when they feel the need to go to such a drastic and dangerous extreme. I sincerely hope that justice will be served and my prayers go to the family who lost a loved one so unfairly.
Yes… violence and gun use are unacceptable …and cowardly … and with the addition of alcohol use and much testosterone driven bravado good people can just be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Oddly enough I just spoke to Desiree at the the gym like a week or 2 ago and we spoke for about 20 minutes just catching up on old times since I hadn’t seen her since high school. She spoke with such anticipation as she and her family were planning on moving to the mainland to be with her sister and her family. My heart goes out to her and her son and the rest of the Ching family … this is a wake up call for me and hopefully for everyone … to remember that life is too short and precious to be taken for granted …
the Ching family will be in my prayers as well …
what a bummer! Mai… I’m glad you share these issues and thoughts. it’s soooo true. these things shouldn’t happen anywhere… but in the land of ALOHA?? not cool. I hope they find the guy too. my love to the Ching family also….
