Much like Batkid, Hawaii has found its own superhero. Except that instead of protecting the powerless from harm, he roams the streets with a sledgehammer and looks for homeless people in order to literally smash their possessions.

Remarkably, this vigilante isn’t just some random Hawaii resident, but five-term State Rep. Tom Brower (D-Idiot).

As someone posted on the Reason website, if that guy had an R after his name this would be frontpage on every outlet in the country.
Of course, Hawaii is a one-party state, so this guy operates with impunity. I still hope someone does something unpleasant to him with his own hammer for destruction of property.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no. That would NOT happen.

I mean, not inherently. But seriously, "a Democrat treats people the way Republicans wish they could treat people" is only news BECAUSE he's a Democrat. And "Democrat treats poor people like a Republican wishes he could" will always be news. Since 1960ish.
