Sigh - You're Not Safe, Even in Paradise

I might expect this in LA or NY - but in Hawaii?

"HONOLULU - Josh Holloway and his wife reportedly were robbed at gunpoint in their home. There was no indication that the robber recognized the 36-year-old actor, who plays hunky con man Sawyer on the ABC castaway drama "Lost," television station KHON reported. "

EDIT - add, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Palm Springs, CA; Tulsa, OK, Little Rock Arkansas; Crivitz, WI; Denver CO; Phoenix, AZ; Newark NJ, Chicago, IL, Ontario, Canada, Toronto, Canada, Anchorage Alaska; Miami Florida; New Orleans, Louisiana; Tampa Florida; Dallas Texas; Houston Texas; Atlanta Georiga; Oakland, CA; Charlotte, NC, Memphis, Tenn; Kansas City, MO; Kanas City, Kansas, Detroit, MI; Plano Texas; Frazier, Penn; Albany, NY; Davis CA; Las Vegas NV; Washington, DC; Fairfax VA; Boston, Mass; Baltimore, Maryland; Hartford, Conn; and every city in every state where a crime may have once occurred and where a movie, commerical, TV Series, Play, Musical, Music Video, or any other entertainment function or event may have occurred.

And, if you have any other cities to add, please feel free.

Edit 2: Corpus Christi -- where Selena was killed.

you've obviously never been to Hawaii.......it can be as dangerous on Oahu as it can anywhere else. Crime among native Hawaiians, and Samoans due to the poverty level can be really bad at times.
And I know of no tourist destination where crime does not exist......

Hana, a very, very tiny spot on Western Maui that all tourists drive to can be scary. We drove into town into what apparently was some sort of local fair, and the looks we got were worse than anything I ever got anywhere else in my travels. We left quickly.

What surprises me is he does not have a security system on his house? Or if so, it had to have been turned off......very stupid

Tourists' paradises are often built on a foundation of low-paid hospitality employees. Surprise, surprise.

Well, I was actually focusing on areas where most movie productions occur. I live in LA, and was born and raised in Los Angeles.

I was going to start adding other cities, but again, I was focusing on where the US entertainment hubs are located.

The military guys on the island are warned where to stay away from and to travel in groups so they don't get beaten up.

Corpus Christi -- where Selena was killed.

But I wouldn't know anything about crime. I live in New Jersey. There's no crime here.

I wouldn't recognize this guy (never heard of him), so am I a suspect?

ConvinceMe2 is dead. Long live BrendanStryker!

Elphaba, I saw the replay when I got back from Temple last night . . .

It was a "WTF" moment.

Let's hope for a sweep back home.

excellent post Nom. I've had Hawai'i as part of my sales territory for over 15 years, and have made some close friendships there. While it took a long time to gain their trust, they are friends for life, and make you feel like family.

Interestingly enough, the place I felt safest on the planet was the Big Island.

I am assuming you live in Hawai'i? Lucky you.

Island time is a lot like Desert time....

Intercourse, PA!

It figures: only an Amish town would have that name!

"Intercourse is the hub where the Amish and local folks do their business and host thousands of visitors each year . . . The Village stands as a clear reminder of our traditional American heritage as people live by a simpler way of life."

And, Calvin, Corpus Christi, done.

The Village of Intercourse
