The online forum Stolen Stuff Hawaii will attempt to flex its political muscles next month with a rally at the state Capitol.

The all-day event, planned for April 15, will not advocate for a specific issue, but will instead call for a generalized anti-crime and anti-corruption agenda, founder Michael Kitchens said. It will push for change within the state government.

“Thousands of victims have posted their stories here on SSH,” Kitchens wrote in a Facebook post announcing the event. “Every day, we wake up to find more and more crimes committed against our communities. The law is weak against crime here … with repeat, habitual offenders run through a revolving door that neither punishes nor provides sufficient opportunity for rehabilitation. As a result, Hawaii has some of the worst property crime in the nation while violent crime like murder has begun to rise.”

The group, which was created in 2014 on Facebook, provides a forum for Hawaii residents to warn others about crime and to help crime victims.

“Our leadership, by their own actions, are more concerned about the plight of the criminal and budget concerns as opposed to the actual victims,” Kitchens wrote.

Kitchens told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser that a rally at the Capitol has been discussed before.

“Petitions don’t work,” Kitchens said. “Even testimonies doesn’t seem to work. A lot of the times our legislators seem to have their own agendas; no matter how many people cry out against it, they still do what they want. So it’s one of those things where we think we need to show a physical manifestation, or physical force, in person.”

University of Hawaii associate professor of political science Colin Moore said a rally that does not have a specific issue may not be effective.

“Their list of grievances is a bit vague,” Moore said. “It’s tough to get much accomplished if you’re not asking for anything specifically.”

He noted Stolen Stuff Hawaii is a group whose identity is solely online. That makes it different from traditional advocacy groups, he said. One of its challenges will be to transfer its online influence to the “real world.”

“They might be tapping into sort of this common frustration, which is … people don’t feel like they’re responsive to their concerns,” he said. “But it sounds like sort of one of these ‘throw the bums out’ populace rally cries, which doesn’t tend to lead to specific changes. But if you get enough people there, the legislators will certainly listen.”

Stolen Stuff Hawaii is maintained by volunteers and currently has 123,900 members, who are vetted by administrators of the group to be Hawaii residents or have Hawaii ties.

Rallies might also take place at the same time on the neighbor islands, Kitchens said.

Kitchens hopes this rally will be the start of Stolen Stuff Hawaii’s political footprint that continues next year with legislative action.
