Interesting stance Opihikao. No wonder you are loved on Punaweb.
Interesting that you would advocate to "let the cards fall where they may," imploring Ige to arrest anyone who stands in the way. Again, no wonder you are so loved on this dear Puna forum.
Like it would be that easy to simply arrest folks. When will it stop? Remember, the first 31 is just the start. There will be 31 more...and 31 more...and 31 more. Where does it stop? Arrest 1,000 Kanakas? Most folks over the age of 40 do not realize how powerful social media and the age of information is. It has been the great neutralizer that has allowed this current battle to move further than any one in recent history.
And yes, Ige, The visitor industry, construction industry, real estate would just LOVE to have images of Hawaiians being arrested being broadcast to the world. Easy for older, captured generations to brush this one off as no big deal. This will prove to be the fatal flaw of the empire. Play that violin while the walls crumble. It's easier to not think of the inevitable.
The current generation up on the Mauna says..."go 'ahead. Make our day. Arrest us with all of your glory." Keep arresting us and see how far this takes you. Again, this is not an easy decision for Ige. Don't make it out to be so simple. And if you still do, then you are living in a bubble.
Things are falling apart for the empire that be. Don't let it be used to scare you. Let it be used to guide you. Stay tuned.
