My brother, who worked at IRTF for years, is quick to point out that there is a history at least early on of heavy handedness on the part of UH WRT management of the summit. ....Unfortunately as long as Hawaii remains a state most of the protesters will never feel the true consequences of their foolishness.

Heavy handed as in genocide or as in no EIS/CIS? The most common complaint I've heard is blocking access for plant gathering and sometimes hunting but Amano is actually the judge that gave Native Hawaiian's right of access with PASH in 1994, which was a huge win for Native rights. So you think the protesters would be ok with Amano on the case.

At the same time a lot of the foolishness that might sound good to people inside their own anti-US bubble seems to not play well with the judge including the huge witness list:

“If they are repetitious or irrelevant witnesses, they will not be allowed to testify,” she said.
