Hawaii State Rep. Smashes Homeless People's Possessions With Sledgehammer

Democrat Tom Brower

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 Hawaiian, but five-term State Rep. Tom Brower (D).

Noting that he's "disgusted" with homeless people, Brower told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser about his own personal brand of "justice": "If I see shopping carts that I can't identify, I will destroy them so they can't be pushed on the streets." Brower has waged this campaign for two weeks, estimating that he's smashed about 30 shopping carts in the process.
