If they keep extending it though, I know how to start some major shit at least.
Hawaii's legal "system" is based on retaliation. It doesn't matter if you win or lose in court, you won't be allowed to live here anymore. This is one reason why there are no challenges to the "obviously unconstitutional" travel restrictions. The other major reason is a prevalence of the culturally ingrained "may I please/I think I want/if it's OK" attitude.
I'm pretty sure the emergency order will be extended again, with looser restrictions for Oahu that don't apply to the other islands. Ige will continue to parrot hand-picked "experts" that support his position; surging case counts elsewhere will be used as "proof" that our restrictions are "keeping Hawaii safe". All of this is necessary for Safe Travels to perform its primary function: tourism enhancement.
It's all about tourism, always has been, always will be.
