Tulsi Gabbard’s brother was arrested and charged after he allegedly tried to lure several children to his Waikiki hotel room on Sunday.
The older brother of former Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard was arrested and charged after he allegedly tried to lure several children to his Waikiki hotel room on Sunday.
The suspect, 55-year-old Batarti Gabbard, was charged on Friday, July 17, 2026, in connection to the “stranger danger” incident that occurred at a hotel in Waikiki on Sunday afternoon, July 12.
The Honolulu Police Department (HPD) said that at 2 p.m. on Sunday, the suspect approached several children, including a 9-year-old boy, at a pool area of a Waikiki hotel. He allegedly offered them gum and money to get them to join him in his hotel room.
Look at those parents put their son’s mental health on blast and blame “pot” to avoid their own shame. Sounds like the kind of family that would also produce Tulsi.
They were/are literally involved in a cult.
They used to be involved in a cult. They still are, but they used to, too.
Thanks Mitch.
And their son was kicked out of his house and these rich psychopaths left him to be homeless. He’s on the same island, they could have just gone and picked him up.
Hawaii and other island cultures have a very distant relationship with modern mental healthcare…
Culturally “hearing the ancestors” isn’t always a bad thing and “there’s no harm in listening” is common communal advice. As such people just don’t see a medical professional until law enforcement is involved. With the dad being a Senator, that takes something big or public like this.
But, when most people are referring to “voices” they mean more like gut instincts, those populations still experience normal rates of mental illness just like everyone. So when those people hear the advice “listen to the voices and think about what they’re saying” is literal dangerous advice.
The Gabbord family seems to be Vaishnava, and I don’t know how that religion views the concept. But like I said it’s a cultural thing and usually sticks around after religious conversions, that’s how important it is in oceanic cultures.
Should change your name to spouts some bullshit.
Jesus fucking Christ. Hawaii is a modern state with mental healthcare and people who go to that healthcare. The Gabbards being in a literal cult has a lot more to do with this than “island culture”.
givessomefucks constantly makes shit up on vibes and then confidently asserts it; they’ve blocked me because they didn’t like seeing me call out their constant stream of ass-pulled misinformation.
I don’t know how it relates to Vaishnava, but Tulsi herself has been involved with a group that has been called a cult.

The whole family was raised in the cult. The parents are kind of inner circle.
