Law & Crime reports:
A federal judge threw out a lawsuit filed by a vocal critic of Black Lives Matter challenging the city of Honolulu’s refusal to allow him to register his red Pontiac Firebird with a vanity plate reading “FCKBLM.” Edward Odquina sued the city after his preferred license plate was revoked for being too profane.
Odquina said in 2021 he incorporated a business called “Film Consulting KravMAGA Bloomberg, LLC,” and that he wanted a vanity plate reading “FCKBLM” to advertise his business.
He also owns the website www.fckblm.org, where the letters reportedly stand for “Fight Communism and Knucklehead Bitch Liberal Marxists.”
Read the full article. Odquina first appeared here last year when Honolulu sued him to the get the plate back.

The FCKBLM 👀 license plate guy is apparently a Kaiser grad who spent time as an MMA fighter in MA where he was convicted of felonious assault and battery with a dangerous weapon in 1998. He’s also an Oath-Keeper (!) and a… Space Force trainer? He likes to wear a civil war hat. pic.twitter.com/Mtq2bW15Lk
