The news says there are over 100 protesters being allowed behind the state road block and they are free to hike all the trails and cultural areas. So, they are up on the preliminary access road to the TMT site and generally wandering around all over. Hilarious part is some of those rocks were stacked by kahuna and ali'i to have some meaning unknown to the uneducated maka'ainana. Now, they are taking rocks down from the sides of the access road to pile in the middle. The pretenders compared the rocks they picked being like their grandfather. So, that was part of the Hawaiian way, use your grandparents for shielding? Whole thing makes the real Hawaiians look ridiculous. Tameshiro is in there, so this is the same bunch that used to plant taro "fields" in the park in front of the Kamehmeha statue. What Uncle Billy did was let them finish, then he went in and cleared it out. Now they have a bigger rally point, higher up. Somebody is making a fortune, probably in China, making all those Hawaiian state flags.
"Aloha also means goodbye. Aloha!"
The tourist dollar is mighty in Hawaii, explaining all sorts of eccentricities. People who go to a place just to have fun also leave an indelible mark, which you can like or dislike but the economic facts won't change.
