In sum, seems the PCC is really old history, again, grandfathered in...
I agree. But then, wouldn't it be the same for the 1893 overthrow, grandfathered in after all this time? But yet...
The choices of what to protest appear ala carte, with little to connect the dots. My assumption is "The Protectors" have too many relatives who are church going Hawaiians, and it would create more trouble than it's worth to them. So churches get a free pass for any and all historical activities, no matter how culturally detrimental, or what types of desecration were involved. Same with OHA. Same with DHHL.
