Why does the State of Hawaii "err as a matter of law" but citizens who err become felons? Why did Governor Lingle promote Barry Fukunaga the Director of DOT to her Chief of Staff after he erred by allowing the Superferry to operate in violation of state law? Was the promotion just punishment for the err? Will protesters face such punishment or be thrown in prison? Why was a 30 year old law changed within a matter of weeks by a special legislative session to exempt the Superferry? Why has the penalties for civil disobedience suddenly become draconian (10 years in jail and $32,000 fine) compared to the penalties faced by those who committed acts of civil disobedience during the civil rights, women's, and anti Vietnam War movements?
Are these reactions to the Kauai Superferry protesters the latest example of government "shock doctrine" implemented by the unified command in their relentless efforts to impose a new economic order of corporatization, privatization, and militarization here on Kauai, or are these the misguided musings of a conspiracy theorist?
