I doubt all the fringe folks who have defined their lives as misshapen “protectors” are going to have an aha moment and realize the error of their ways.
What is going to matter is which politician will have the integrity to order them hauled away if they pull any of the blockage stunts they did previously.
Should be interesting, if not entirely satisfying...
Cheers,

"I wish at some point the statements of the protestors would match the reality in front of their eyes."
The reality is that their ancestors studied the stars, learned to navigate by them, and were eventually brought to this mountain by them. I wonder what these early astronomers would tell their descendants if they could speak to them now?
"What do you think about Wednesday’s protest against the Thirty Meter Telescope held at UH Manoa?"
They have already claimed the votes to establish Hawaii as a state was a rigged/illegitimate vote so I'm sure the newspaper poll is equally some sort of conspiracy.
ETA: the conspiracy stuff

Our ohana attended .
The take away we noted most was the huge amount of litter left behind - especially fast food discards and cig butts littering the entire grounds .
This is not taking good care of the aina and created more work for the up keep of UH Hilo personnel who maintain the grounds and rubbish removal .

The anti TMT folks are the worst litter bugs we have seen in a very long time. At the rally we got there early by an hour or two with the grand children and the area was pristine and spotless.
After their chanting and speeches cig butts by the 100s littered the lawn area and side walks , open smoking of meth and pakalolo and drinking vodka and beer and plate lunch Styrofoam along with 7-11 and Mc D;s and star bucks empties strewn about .
And the grand children took all this in and wonder what is the problem about TMT .
randomg - you must mean fred - in the country illegally - no drivers license - no insurance and is starving and expects hand outs . He needs to go back to Europe we think .We once helped him with food from our gardens and he complained.So we do not help him any more.

Mimosa - Are you talking about the UH Manoa rally? Your other post says UH Hilo... Was there a rally on Hilo campus with all the litter?
