So, Tom......Is work beginning as stated on the 15th? Or has ALL progress again been stopped by the protesters?

We're all here, because we're not all there!


In my opinion, the only chance the TMT had was if Governor Ige, from the get go, made it clear that any blocking of roads would meet zero tolerance. He caved. He then passed the mess on to Mayor kim. The protesters recognized the weakness and are unrelenting. Many protesters are getting more and more obnoxious as they smell a win. It is not looking good for the TMT. Hawaii apparently is not a locality run by the rule of law, and court judgements don't seem to matter.We needed a tough no BS leadership, and we instead have a milk toast.

Unbelievable...wondering why Hawaiians are pissed, while you spew racist BS....

LOL. It's a stereotype, and all stereotypes have some degree of truth to them, no? That one certainly does.

And then there's me, a dumb Polack true to form. [:p]

Excuse me boys; Did I step on your white privilege?

I don't believe I spewed racist BS.

TRy driving down to Keaukaha and tell me what you see.Every other yard has junk cars everywhere.It's a fact and they are saying a telescope is going to ruin the mauna.
What about the base of the mauna ? That's ok to ruin ?

Racism:

"the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races."
_____________________________________________________________________

Punaweb's racists have subtly made themselves known over the years with "those people", "local thugs", and "the protectors".... (complete with envisioned finger parenthesis).

It's alarming that they would openly proclaim their superiority here. Like only Hawaiians (or other people of color here) have abandoned vehicles, drug problems, practice superstition, or are against the perceived American dream..... What a burden they must be to the white man here.

If you other people aren't offended by this; you're just as ugly.

snorkle - you're just as ugly.

Who you calling ugly, Ugly?

On this note, Ruderman had to take down his facebook post about finding common ground due to the vitriol being spewed by both sides in the comments (and then apparently had to delete that announcement as well). People suck.

For clarification snorkle, I use “protectors” not because I am a racist disparaging a particular group of people. I use it to denote a self designated title affected by some, but which seems a little high falutin to me.

If I ever start referring to myself as King HOTPE, I hope and expect you’ll respond with “King” HOTPE. I wouldn’t think you’re a racist, just a fellow Punawebber making an astute observation.
