“We have made the Hawaiians feel like strangers in their own land,” Kim said.

Here, plain as day, the Democrat socialists reveal the crux of the issue in their warped deluded and delusional belief that this is not a state of the United States of America, but some far flung outlier that belongs to some group of a particular genetic code who not only own the place, but have special status requiring them to be treated as above the laws that apply to all other citizens.

This place isn't any more "their own land" than it is every other single legal citizen's land. One person, one vote... but no, not here... not when obviously racist policy is implemented by the Democrat socialists.

Mayor Kim is well aware of the legal status of Hawaii in relation to the USA.

Let's not open that can of worms and stay on topic with TMT.

You cannot reason with the unreasonable and they should never have been allowed on the road in the first place.   The only acceptable “compromise “ for them would be that the TMT goes away.  It doesn’t matter to me one way or the other if the TMT gets built or not.  What bothers me is that a company that has spend all this time, huge amounts of money jumping through all the legal hoops, has gotten all the permits and granted permission by Hawaii's highest court, is being prevented from proceeding with their project by the ones that lost the court case and receiving no protection by LE or the government.

Like I said in the very beginning, this should have been nipped in the bud.  Protesters should never have been allowed to stand on the road, much less so to erect several tents on the road.   It is rapidly getting to the point where you will need 1000 or more LEOs to clear the road unless deadly force is used.

Response: "It's because I'm coming for your guns"

I think "indigenous", in this or any context re humans (versus plants and animals), means "the most recent invasive wave/force to have taken over and controlled a particular geographical area, often by committing genocide on the previous inhabitants, prior to contact with european civilization".

Lets hope we get the kind of showing the TMT protestors have if they try to take our guns

The "legal status" or the "purported legal status"?

what I am more interested in is what you are going to do when your command gives you the order to take away guns...

What command are you talking about?

What command are you talking about?

He believes that I am secretly an undercover police officer sent to spy on 2Ahawaii members so he is asking whether I will obey a hypothetical to confiscate guns.

He likes conspiracies, especially the dumb ones and he keeps pushing it with little comments like that one.

There is no dispute that the USA has no legal authority over Hawaii and that Hawaii is illegally being occupied by the USA.

This morninh HNN showed event tents have replaced many of the pop up tents.  More pottys added and about 1000 people now there daily and swelling to over 2000 on weekends.  At this point I don't see how TMT can get built.

1 of 2 things will happen if command gives the order:

1) Followed to the T because "just following orders"
2) Those who do disagree will not say anything because they don't want to get fired.  So they will just wait outside, instead of going inside the home/office to confiscate the guns.  That way they can say "I didn't confiscate anything, the other guy did".

That's what they said about the Dakota Pipeline protests with 3000-4000 protestors onsite.  It ran from early 2016 to February 2017.

In the end, the protestors lost.

Because Trump signed the XO.  I would love to see him sign an XO for Mauna Kea, just to watch libs heads explode and crazy Mazy to make a statement.
