We already have a lot of county and state holidays specific to Hawaii and Hawaiian culture. If they want a new one, they should have to decommission one of the older ones. As I understand it, today is not a legal holiday, but rather an observance. The long overdue police action was likely coincidental to the date and not an intentional inflammatory act. Why would they suddenly be provocative when they have bent over backwards for months to placate the protesters?
