Very little has been said about the hundreds of protestors (for the most part nonviolent , I might add) who were arrested during the Republican National Convention. This story actually pertains very directly to you, the people of Hawaii, because 5 kids from UH were among those arrested. Below is a story that was written by one of the arrested protestors' mothers (she lives in Makawao). Some of it may be a little theatrical in tone, but I believe her facts are correct. And I understood Lingles' office to say after the fact that they were not aware that 5 Hawaii residents had been incarcerated in what sounded like gulag-like conditions?
Hmmm...Seems like the Republicans don't like vegan, nonviolent Buddhists...
