TMT construction begins Monday 15 July

It's a comment form, not poll. Has zero statistical value, other than some percent of respondents support or oppose TMT (regardless of where they are from (name & contact info not required), or if they comment more than once, etc, etc). it would be asinine to try and tout any numerical results from this effort.

Voted in support, with comments.

This has been mentioned on the social media sites along with taking over the airport.

I say go for it.

an extension of demonstrating sovereignty on "their land". Why haggle with DHHL

It's possible to reach the summit of Mauna Kea without crossing DHHL land. State merely needs to grant permission, permits, etc.

if protestors set up lawn chairs at the entrances to Target, Safeway, and Home Depot?

I think it's a great idea. They should occupy the airport while they're at it. Stop screwing around, show everyone how it's going to be so the rest of us can make appropriate plans.

How is it that they didn't manage to stop the $9B rail project? That's like 6 TMTs worth of desecration.

After yesterday's incident of not allowing the technicians to drive past them to service a serious problem at Gemini, when will our sworn politicians and LE get into gear and send these destructive protesters to jail or home?

Well Mayor Kim is having his people arrange meetings with the movement leaders, so after some input gathering sessions and slide show presentations, they should be ready to made some recommendations. I think it's on the schedule right after they wrap up the arrangements needed for lava viewing.

Even Rudderman? He's calling for more negotiations too? What a bunch of spineless weasels we have for politicians. The intimidating protesters are but a small percentage of Hawaiians, the vast majority want TMT NOW!

Why don't these miserable excuses for politicians negotiate with the 77% of Hawaiians who find this circus ridiculous? How about the rest of us citizens regardless of our race?

Every politician who has not called for immediate police action needs to step down immediately if they cannot follow the rule of law coming from the supreme court. Seriously, step down.

How about the rest of us citizens regardless of our race?

The rest of us don't get a carve-out in the state Constitution.

Are there any ways one can show support for the TMT besides waving a sign by the road?
