The opinion column writer for the Civil Beat article is:
Anne Keala Kelly is the award winning filmmaker of “Noho Hewa: The Wrongful Occupation of Hawai‘i,”
Reading the entire piece gives the impression of wishful thinking and last gasp desperation. The death rattle of protests over the TMT. Nothing else they tried has worked. Some of them invented an imaginary past which never occurred on Mauna Kea for legal filings and hearings, or fanciful, inventive military connections, nonexistent environmental concerns - - so now, all that’s left is to frighten the taxpayers.
I don’t doubt there may be some final protests, but I do doubt they will be on the scale she suggests in her opinion piece, over the length of time she speculates.
The first load of people breaking the law (which, reminder, are laws they claim they wish to protect), will probably be the last. IF - - they are arrested, jailed, charged, bailed, and ordered to make a court appearance. Just as if they had taken a photo of the lava flow in lower Puna as it occurred last summer.
