I asked the people who fought the HPD case, and they said that it's a slippery slope.

I am waiting for his next response to see what I should do next; maybe wolfwood would like to chime in to save me the trouble.

How can you be belligerent on Facebook? Its a bunch of words...ones and zeroes

: angry and aggressive : feeling or showing readiness to fight

: fighting a war : engaged in a war

I've talked to at least 50 different people from my town that come from different lifestyles/beliefs/sides of the aisle, and 80-90% of them said that there are far more important things to be worrying about, like the homeless problem in my town and the micronesian problem. While some did say that they think climate change is a big issue, and also felt that his gay marriage fight was worth the effort, they don't see what else he is doing, as he keep harping on gay marriage and climate change and nothing else.

What's wrong with the microsnesians?

not cool...maybe they interpreted that COFA allowed them access to fishing too!!

Turtle is mighty delicious eating. Hopefully they come off the endangered species list soon.

I was just at the beach in the morning, prior to these events. There was a massive papio school that came through, and lots of local uncles and braddahs came in to enjoy a nice competition. Supposedly when night fell, the 'group of individuals in question' showed up and slaughtered some turtles, and were caught by some locals. Apparently, this 'vigilante group', Na Kua'aina o Waimanalo, has a mass text alert for their organization, so LOTS of people showed up and were able to detain the illegal turtle snatchers until DLNR arrived.

When the community had a discussion, the state named Na Kua'aina o Waimanalo at fault, saying we don't need vigilantes upholding the law. When confronted with the fact that DLNR and the state wasn't doing their job by letting these individuals continue this behavior in many places in Hawaii, they basically said 'what do you want us to do? we are understaffed.'

Yeah...lets call the group trying to protect their home the bad guys, and let people who take advantage of our government, our culture and our way of life do whatever the hell they want, simply because we bombed their islands 70+ years ago.

The main point of this is the same problem that is plaguing our country, with regards to immigrants in general: refusal to conform to OUR society. These people come to our country, and then expect us to conform to their way of life, all while disregarding our laws and shitting on our culture.
