HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – There was another night of protests Tuesday outside Lt. Gov. Josh Greens’ condominium in downtown Honolulu, but Green said harassment was increasing, with a few attacks crossing the line .

I absolutely support the rights of peoples to freedom of expression and assembly. However, they follow me and make death threats and film me through the windows, Green said. I think I leave that to others to judge.

In addition to the death threats, posters were put up on the sidewalks outside his condo, with the face of the Greens and the word Fraud – and racist writings about the religion of the Greens.

So that gives you an idea of ​​who they are, what they look like as people, Green said.

Some critics posted videos of Green, which drew threats from commentators. One of the last videos showed an activist following Green and his security guards to his SUV, shouting comments and questions at him as he drove home.

When you come home from dinner and people threaten you, of course now is not the time to talk to them, he said.

When he returns home, protesters are often outside to greet him.

You have individuals shouting hate speech against me, lighting up my apartment and the apartments around me, my neighbors.

Another video circulating online was posted by critics, who said they blew up Green without a mask at a restaurant on Tuesday night.

Green said it was a campaign dinner that followed the governor’s mandate to limit gatherings to ten people inside.

I had a private dinner for a total of ten people including myself and again they were all vaccinated but unfortunately people follow me everywhere I go, Green said.

Green, who has said he’s been working 18 hours a day lately as a lieutenant governor and emergency doctor, is fed up with the harassment.

I know there are going to be people attacking me because they are very anti-vaccination, or they don’t appreciate having to wear masks. But I will continue to do my job as lieutenant governor and I will also make sure I follow the rules.

One of the groups that protested Green’s and COVID state mandates, the Aloha Freedom Coalition, said it would comment on Thursday.

Green said some of the threats are being passed on to local law enforcement for further investigation.
