Ma ke ahiahi Poakahi nei, ua ike mua ka Foothill Transit i ka hana ino pu maluna o kekahi o ko makou mau kaa. Ua hana ʻia ka hanana ma ka Silver Streak e hele ana i ke kaona ʻo Los Angeles. ʻO ka mea mua a me ka mea nui, aia ko mākou naʻau me ka poʻe i hōʻeha a me ko lākou ʻohana. Ua hana nui mākou me CHP ma ka hoʻokolokolo ʻana a i loko o 24 mau hola, ua paʻa lākou i ka mea hoʻopiʻi.

He ʻōlelo haʻahaʻa loa ka ʻōlelo ʻana ʻaʻole kēia ka mua a mākou i makemake ai e hoʻokō. Akā, hiki iā mākou ke ʻōlelo me ke kanalua ʻole ʻo nā hoʻomaʻamaʻa palekana nui, nā hoʻomaʻamaʻa papaʻaina, a me ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i ka pilina me ke Keʻena Sherriff o LA County a me ka Transportation Security Administration i loaʻa i ka hopena pololei i ke ʻano o kēia hanana. Ua hahai ikaika ʻia nā protocol de-escalation e ka mea hoʻokele kaʻa a lawe koke ʻia nā mea i hōʻeha ʻia i nā haukapila kūloko me nā ʻeha hoʻoweliweli ʻole i ke ola. Ua hoʻoneʻe ʻia nā mea kūʻai aku a pau ma luna o ka moku i kahi kaʻa ʻē aʻe a ma luna o nā wikiō a me nā leo leo i hōʻike koke ʻia me nā luna pane. Ua hiki iā mākou ke hoʻopaʻa i kahi hālāwai kūkākūkā hui ma ka pūnaewele me ka hui pū ʻana me ka California Highway Patrol a ua hiki iā mākou ke hoʻoponopono koke i ka ʻike kuhi hewa.

He manawa pōʻino a weliweli kēia i ka moʻolelo o kā mākou hui i ʻoi aku ka ʻino, inā ʻaʻole no ka hoʻoikaika pono a me ka hoʻoikaika ʻana o kā mākou mau ʻaelike, kā mākou hui Foothill Transit, a me kā mākou hui pū ʻana me nā mea pane mua. Mahalo nui i ko mākou Luna Nui o ka Palekana a me ka Palekana ʻo John Curley no kona nānā pono ʻana i nā protocol palekana a me ka ʻike pilikia o Foothill Transit. Ke hāʻawi aku nei mākou i ka mahalo nui no ka pilina ikaika i loaʻa iā mākou me ka CHP a no kā lākou pane ʻana a me kā lākou ʻoihana i waena o nā pilikia. ʻO kā lākou kauoha no ka mea i hana ʻia a me kāna hoʻokolokolo ʻana he mea hoʻohālike.

Ke alo nei mākou a pau, ma ke ʻano he kaiāulu, nā pilikia he nui me ka home ʻole, ka maʻi noʻonoʻo ʻole i mālama ʻia, a me ka hoʻohui lāʻau. ʻO ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i kēia mau pilikia e pono ai ka hui pū ʻana me kā mākou mau hoa kūloko āpau, me ka hoʻokō kānāwai a me kā mākou mea pane mua, a me kā mākou mau luna i koho ʻia a me nā ʻoihana lawelawe kaiaulu. ʻAʻole kūʻokoʻa kēia mau pilikia i ke kaʻa lehulehu a pili lākou i kā mākou mau wahi ākea āpau. Ua hana mau ʻo Foothill Transit i ka palekana i mea nui a i kēia manawa ʻoi aku ka nui o ka hana pū me kā mākou poʻe kuleana āpau e hoʻoponopono i kēia mau pilikia me ke aloha a me ka mālama. He kuleana ko mākou e hāʻawi i kahi ʻōnaehana kaʻa kaʻa i ko mākou mau kaiāulu. Hoʻopili ʻia ia i nā mea a pau a mākou e hana ai a ke hoʻomaopopo nei i kā mākou mau ʻanuʻu aʻe i ko mākou nānā ʻana e hoʻonui i ka noho palekana a me ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana no ka hoʻokō ʻana i kēia mau pilikia i ʻike ʻole ʻia.
