PM2 makes a good point. I'm completely in favor of taking off the kid gloves, but would prefer to do it without unnecessarily creating any martyrs. Let's start by putting more police and DNLR agents up there and making them do their jobs.
I recently had a fairly civil discussion with a protester in the Safeway parking lot in Hilo. When I suggested that his group might be more productive by demanding that OHA and DHHL be reformed, he told me that as a haole, I had no right to criticize those organizations. I walked away after pointing out that he and his friends were buying their junk food from a haole dominated mainland US corporation. Gotta have dem Doritos even in the middle of restoring the kingdom.
