I've been here for a very, very long time, and the only thing close to "civil unrest" I've seen are protest marches and sit-ins against the Vietnam War and against telescopes on Mauna Kea. These kinds of protests are routine behavior on the mainland for a multitude of political and social goals, and are never classified as "civil unrest." Never have I seen the "mainland-routine" rioting that happens when a sports team wins or someone doesn't like how they are treated by the police.

The idea that we are going to have civil unrest, ie., rioting, is ludicrous. And, I don't care what General Hara said about this topic.
