I have no idea why this thread is still alive. There seems to be a moderation issue right now.
There was a video posted today from a riot somewhere, I forget where it was, but someone on the protesters' side flew a Palestinian flag. I'm sure that's perfectly legal, but consider what that entails. Now, go back 80 years ago when the greatest generation, including many from Hawaii, fought the Nazis. What do you think they would say if they saw someone, for example, waving a Nazi flag in a protest here and saying "death to America"?
Maybe the odd native Hawaiian would agree with that sentiment, but I doubt many would. Flying foreign flags is not an invasion; it's just a pure insult to a country and its citizens that used to welcome immigrants and ask them to be respectful and obey the laws.
