HONOLULU — A lawyer for U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams said Wednesday that his client, who is charged with illegally entering a Hawaii public park that was closed because of the coronavirus, will plead not guilty. The criminal complaint against Adams, who was on Oahu in August helping with surge testing amid a spike in coronavirus cases, says he and two other men were looking at the view and taking pictures at Kualoa Regional Park on the island’s northeastern coast. The rural park offers a view of the famed Mokolii island, also known as Chinaman’s Hat for its cone shape. Adams did not appear in court or on a video call for the Wednesday hearing, but his attorney, Michael Green, said his client understands the charge and will plead not guilty.

How dare he be in open air. Our parks are sacred. One squirrel gets infected, then the park is ruined. If only I could shake my fist harder at this guy.

Oppose the USA and you get a free pass today to burn, loot, pillage, beat up and destroy anything and everything. I thought this was a joke. Its not. I cant believe that some idiot would arrest him for entering a park that apparently was closed and on a lock down because of Covid-19. Even the judge seems to be playing the heavy based on some of his statements. What a joke.

To go in front of a jury? Really? Why is this being pushed forward by the DA?
