I heard a disturbing story that the road to Pohoiki was abruptly closed to pedestrians and bicycles yesterday (with no notice) because there was a "private event" being held. I was not there so I can't verify what happened. If anyone has more information it would be great to hear about it.
Reportedly, some particular vehicles were being let in and good old Talmadge Magno was there himself with other civil defense personnel. Some friends who hiked the lava trail to get there saw a huge gathering of people. Some said it was a gathering for Kanaka Maoli with ties to the area.
While I wholeheartedly support Kanaka Maoli gathering, I have to question the timing and also the County closing the publicly funded road to a publicly funded park for a private event.
What's next? A Japanese-only picnic? A Lithuanian-only lawn bowling tournament? Harry Kim's invitation-only birthday party? I suppose if one group gets let in it should be the same for everyone.
If anyone has more first hand info I'd like to know. It seems like there's no end to this administration's bs.
