TMT Work to Resume Says Ige!

TomK - "I've emailed a few colleagues about the earlier incident (the one about striking the protester in the knees) and no one knows anything about it. I do have other sources to try, but not tonight."

thanks for checking on this.


Something deeply troubles me about these claims on the part of the protestors of being victims of "violence". Even if "Maintaining Kapu Aloha" is tagged onto the headline, introducing such inflammatory rhetoric and false accusations comes across as almost a desire to instigate a dangerous situation which can be manipulated into playing the role of victim in an attempt to gain sympathy and support through the media.



Incidentally, in the link you provided for 'A Darker View', Andrew Cooper critically references a Will Falk writing for something called the San Diego Free Press. In that purple prose essay written by this Will Falk character he claims to have had his foot run over by a police officer on the mountain...

Will Falk writes: "Trailing the cops on the Mauna Kea Access Road, anticipating another brutal round of arrests, I told myself the incident with my foot was an omen: The cops simply were not going to stop their march up the Mountain for us. No, they would not stop for us, but maybe other beings could stop them."

Waxing poetic indeed. This vehicular assault thing seems to be a trend.
