Starting a new thread as it probably shouldn't be in the TMT thread.
Ian Lind posted this thread yesterday:

Basically, a UH student called for beatings and slitting the throats of TMT supporters. When called on his behavior, he said it was a post from a long time ago in a separate argument, but that holds no water since the post refers to Mailani Neal's TMT petition which only started on 13th April.
I've been in touch with UH. Apparently, action is being taken, but am not holding my breath. Part of the answer I got was Mailani ought to get in touch with the police. That is probably good advice but UH needs to be more proactive than that. A school kid just got threatened of being beaten. There was no answer about death threats to those working on Mauna Kea.
But the JCMT and UKIRT might be closed to appease someone like this, and the discussion doesn't actually involve staff at either place.
There is something so terribly wrong here.
Edited - wording.
