What a novel idea, to halt all traffic, abuse, and especially further development of the summit for the time being. Maunakea has sadly been put into a grave state by those who had been trusted and paid handsomely to protect its fragile, and sacred environment.
Dlnr reminded many Wednesday who's interest they are still protecting. Again it was not the interest of our islands keiki who were offering Lei's and aloha to them. jmo. Taking a look at the majority of people protesting ( maybe 500 to 700) i can honestly say their feelings, passions, and emotions are strongly felt if not recognized by sight. Also Very impressive, was the amount of senior citizens standing ground( first line) and walking up very difficult terrain to show their side of support.
The Wahine line (3rdline) was the most chilling as many were standing arm in arm, chanting with hapai bellies. The dlnr officers intentions were listened to and made clear, while being met with aloha for the most part. A Suggestion for the future arresting officers, better learn how to deal with the mass keiki getting involved. The picking and choosing of arrests still gathered many leaders or notable supporters along the way(11), maybe more strategic than some might initially think.
Jmo's, Very concerning now that the Gov wants to start playing hard ball? Many protectors are feeling the walls, corners, and edges they have been being pushed in to. Tensions were noticeably higher on both sides of this standoff, obviously it did not go as expected for the dlnr pit bulls cause their jobs did not get done. This continues to be much bigger than some continue to think (most who are NOT from here including the acting Gov).
Tomk, good to see you are paying attention to some of the protectors now, as their numbers are no longer( the few) you may have once thought of them.
Did you happen to notice any tears, pain, or keiki? They are also very real, and should start getting some much needed attention in the days to come. The newly added hard ball or law approach( many would not be on the mountain today if laws and promises weren't already broken) will prove to be costly also, jmo. The TMT project, its investors, and its back pocket dlnr protectors has had no problems deciding the direction of our islands keiki for the past 7 years and longer. Now it seems they don't want to include them in the escalating situations. TMT Projects like these planned here in the islands have plenty to do with the keiki, The ones who are in schools today, also for those who will inherit these world decisions and projects left for tomorrow.
Hopefully no one got a trespassing or speeding ticket on this island Wednesday, stay safe everyone.
