I have read comments made by both TMT supporters & TMT protesters that have been less than civil.
But this Facebook post goes far beyond that. It's full blown ISIS, with calls for the death of TMT supporters in the most gruesome, detailed way possible. His attack on a high school girl, who only wished to express her own opinion by way of a petition is beyond offensive. The way I imagine a member of ISIS would treat a woman who dared to speak her mind.
I certainly haven't read everything people have posted about the TMT, probably none of us have, there's so much that's been written. But I can't imagine pro TMT advocates have said anything that comes close to this tirade.
And he's not just a protester or protector, he claims to be a leader in the Hawaiian soverenty movement and has accepted money for the group camped on Mauna Kea.
I have two questions:
1) would anyone on Punaweb who supports the Mauna Kea protesters consider this man a leader of the movement as he says he is?
2) has anyone here read something comparable by a TMT supporter? I don't mean unpleasant or uncivil, I mean truly comparable?
