trash on Mauna Kea - kalakoa - 01-16-2020
https://www.hawaiitribune-herald.com/2020/01/16/hawaii-news/tents-other-items-remain-on-mauna/
Anti-Thirty Meter Telescope protesters intend to remove abandoned property left behind following the months-long occupation of the Maunakea Access Road within the coming days.
"Protecting the Sacred Aina."
Perez said that, as far as he knows, no state agency has requested that the items be removed.
State is "just doing their job" by ignoring the problem.
The state Department of Transportation has jurisdiction over the access road, the highway and their immediate shoulders.
So ... it's DOT that "allowed" the protest blockade?

It's all part of the protestors "decommissioning process" which was not required or demanded by anyone. There is no time line, or orderly proceedure. Perhaps they're waiting for 15 County workers to magically show up and do it for them?
In another thread someone wrote:
Mauna Kea's unexspected rise in the #'s of it's protector's from around the world?
Except those numbers seem to be characters from "The Little Red Hen" when it comes time to contribute in any meaningful way. An excerpt:
Then she went on with her daily duties through the long summer days, scratching for worms and feeding her chicks, while
the Pig grew fat,
and the Cat grew fat,
and the Rat grew fat,
and the Wheat grew tall and ready for harvest.
So one day the Little Red Hen chanced to notice how large the Wheat was and that the grain was ripe, so she ran about calling: "Who will cut the Wheat?"
The Pig said, "Not I,"
the Cat said, "Not I,"
and the Rat said, "Not I."
"Well, then," said the Little Red Hen, "I will." And she did.

It is a very sad sight, drove by on Monday and it just looks like a shanty town with dozens of tents, tarps and scrap just left all over the place. Guess they are only protecting the Mauna and not the Aina.

I spell it "desecration".

Is this not on the news? A picture is worth a thousand words.

It was on the KITV4 website, not sure if it made the news on TV:
https://www.kitv.com/story/41544339/kiai-questioned-viewers-send-in-photos-of-what-appears-to-be-trash-on-mauna-kea
That was a week ago.

The photos in the KITV story are a travesty.
Where is the cleanup rally?
Where is the convoy of pickup trucks to haul this trash away?
Where is OHA, the enablers of this garbage patch on the mountain?
A few weeks ago when protestors needed County workers to move a few tents because they couldn’t find enough supporters to do it themselves, I asked whether anybody else thought it was the death rattle of their movement. Those photos show all the broken promises made by protestors, their discarded arguments lying scattered in pieces across the sacred aina.

All of the photo's at the KITV link look reasonable to me. Stuff neatly piled, camps still in use, It isn't as if that stuff is abandoned, or that the effort to stand vigil has stopped. It seems to me that the posts here are just folks looking for fault in every crack and crevice you can find. Maybe you all would be best served tending your own gardens rather than being so concerned with how they tend theirs.

All I ask is that they get their own garden and pay for their own tending rather than abuse public land at the expense of all taxpayers.
