It is my understanding as of this afternoon, that TMT crew will "possibly" be attempting to take extremely heavy equipment up to the construction site on Monday, May 11, 2015.
The protestors/protectors have allegedly been advised that arrests will be made on the spot, with no forewarning, should attempts be made to stop the heavy equipment being transferred. As the gravel road to the site is steep, the trailer hauling the ("rock crusher") equipment will not be able to stop or slow down due to the weight. If it stops, it could roll backwards, or roll over.
It is also quite evident the protestors/protectors, are not backing down, nor will they. There are those willing to lay their life on the line, if it comes to that point. Auwe! [V]
Hoping with some guidance and wisdom, on both sides, this will not be the beginning of a potentially life threatening confrontation. No matter the permits in place, or the protestors/protectors position, they are all human beings, and my concern is for everyone's safety. So very concerned at this moment.
My message to the participants that are ohana (protestors/protectors), is Mauna Kea (Mauna A Wakea) can take care of herself. Always has, always will. E pule kakou for a peaceful end to this protest.
