The observatories should file lawsuits against any/all of the organized protest groups, plus those named individuals who act as if they speak for the protestors.
That would be an excellent start, but lawsuits need to be filed in every possible direction so that a few of them will survive technicalities imposed by the courts.
Off the top of my head:
- State for issuing the invalid permits
- Ige for claiming that construction can begin
- DHHL because access road is on "their" land
- County because it "owns" Saddle Road
- Kim generally
- UH failing to support its own educational programs
- UH making special concessions for students who wish to protest
- Finance Director for withholding/obsfucating direct cost information
- Everyone for violating the 14th Amendment
Note that some of the issues are similar to County's (mis)handling of the lava "recovery", which needs its own handful of lawsuits, some of which might well bolster the 14th Amendment claims.
