Morning news said NZ has extended humanrights to mountains.  Didn't get all the details.  May be copycat Hawaii will do the same for the "mauna".

See how bundled up the people up there are during the warmest time of the year". Can’t wait for winter to come, a time of year I normally hate because of the short days.
They'll have fully heated modular homes built by then... probably provided by Lyin' Harry Kim and the county... they don't want any "harm" to come to anyone involved, and will take any measures necessary to make sure everyone is "safe".

Lyin' Harry announced the upcoming second meeting yesterday, but it will not, again, include the actual people organizing the criminal activity. He apparently forgot the exact words to John Lennon's "Imagine" ("And all the world will live as One"), when he ("You may say he's a dreamer") said , instead:

“Right now, there are two sides,” Kim said. “But my dream is that we’ll have only one side someday that we all agree on.”

[Seriously, he said that. At least that's the quote in the Tribune-Herald.]

There is video at the site where someone, of course, claims that the criminals are only "protecting what actually belongs to us. It’s the settlers state that is breaking the law", and that moving people who resist being moved by using whatever force is necessary to move them is "excessive force". My only disagreement with the former mayor is when he says about "anarchy", "we are going to have..."... what is it now?

Former Maui mayor: On TMT protest, Ige should take a page out of Maui’s playbook

https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2019/08/22/strong-reaction-former-maui-mayors-comments-mauna-kea/

 Former Maui Mayor Alan Arakawa says the conflict at Mauna Kea has dragged on for too long and the governor needs to take some action to clear the road.

Arakawa claims Gov. David Ige’s delays have created in a no-win situation.

And he added that when he was mayor, officers at Haleakala arrested those protesting the construction of a new telescope on the mountain and cleared the road without excessive force.

“If that kind of action keeps escalating, we are going to have anarchy," he said.

Price tag for this circus is up to 3 million

pebbles compared to the rail, which i see no current protests for, and manini if any protests in the past, despite it's very existence desecrating iwi land and in general just being a bloody eye sore for me...  but --> :stopjack:

I found the article.  Who wants to bet the protectors are going to see this and demand the same for the "mauna".

Once it gets cold it will be so much easier to deal with the crowd. Don't need pepper spray or batons, just spray them with water and let the cold do all the work.

PD would get sued and our bleeding heart justice system will award them thousands for cruel and unusual punishment.

Let me explain this slowly:

Nonsensical posts that have no basis in anything realistic are not meant to be "rebutted".

If you believe otherwise, it explains a lot about your thought processes.   :rofl:

Don't waste your money at Mortons.  Ruth Chris is way better.
And the Mauna Kea protest cost is now over $4m and they are not accounting for the past two or three weeks.
