On the way to Lucy's car, which was parked in front of the photo shop, Stephanie argued with Respondent. They stopped when males parked in the row behind them started yelling at them. According to Stephanie, Kala told [Respondent] to shut the F up[,] and Respondent replied, [M]ind [your] own business[,] to which Kala responded, [S]hut the F up you stupid haole[.] [6] The males walked towards Respondent, Stephanie, Lucy, and Ilia.

To defend himself, Respondent [t]hrew [a] couple [of] punches[] but was backed into a corner. Stephanie was with Respondent and sought to prevent the men from striking him. According to Stephanie, the men took Respondent into a corner and [p]unched and kicked and stomped on[] Respondent 30 times[,] and, as a result, Respondent had bumps on his face[,] big lumps on the back of his head and a black and blue[] mouth. Respondent curled up in a ball about 15 feet from the car. He was punched and kicked for three or four minutes. No security guard became involved. At some point, four men approached Ilia and started attacking him. Lucy attempted to prevent them from doing so, but she was hit in the face and fell to the ground. According to Lucy, the fight between Ilia and the men seemed to last for five minutes. After the confrontation between Ilia and the other men had tapered off, Respondent escaped from the corner and was in the parking lot near Lucy's car. He was still being punched. At some point, Respondent slipped out, ducked under[,] and moved away[,] to where he was steps away from Ilia and a male who was yelling at Ilia and using his hands to explain a point. Respondent came up to the male, apparently Kapena, and struck Kapena. The male fell and hit Lucy's car. At the time Kapena was struck, other men were continuing to brawl. Lucy did not see any bouncers or security guards in the parking lot during the altercation. Respondent fled and one of the bouncers from the bar held him on the ground. The police arrested Respondent, who, according to Lucy, had blood on his mouth and whose head was lumped up pretty bad.
