Strongest statement yet issued by Governor Ige:

[i]"The TMT project is lawfully permitted. This unlawful behavior on the part of the protesters will not be allowed to continue forever."

Well, just until I'm out of office and collecting my pension.

In video shot at the protest camp, a law enforcement officer can be seen cutting into the structure and leaving the Hawaiian flag cut and torn.

Protestors, who put up the flag before demo crews arrived, and affixed it with nails making it difficult to remove, then cried “desecration” when the flag was cut & torn. Seems about half the flags I see on the back of pickup trucks have been pretty well desecrated & shredded flying down the highway at 60 mph.

They could clear an illegally blocked public road or tear down a shack built by Hawaiians on Hawaiian homelands... Hmm...

With so much political ineptness it's a wonder these clowns get elected.

Desecration? So the Hawaiian Kingdom flag is a religious symbol?

Multiple rulebooks, remember?

That's because building a structure is unpermitted, whereas a roadblock encampment is merely unlawful.

I'm talking about the guy that's been living up there for years. DHHL said they are aware but that they couldn't get the man power to remove him.

Here's Kahele questioning Aila about the guy occupying hundreds of acres of land.

Only beneficiaries of the trust get punished.

Only beneficiaries of the trust get punished.

And taxpayers.

No, it's actually most people. The difference is that some will work to better their lives while others continually whine and complain that they didn't get everything handed to them.

Are the beneficiaries getting screwed over? Sure. Will driving a telescope off the island change this deplorable situation? Probably not.

If they put half as much effort into occupying a DHHL subdivision that was supposed to be theirs to use, I would respect their effort and maybe even find a way to help out.

I know some people who have gotten traffic tickets due to the "enhanced enforcement". Brilliant campaign by HPD to make people associate the protest with payment of fines and higher insurance rates. And guess what? It doesn't solve any of the problems.

Just another day in the land of "I got mine, screw you".
