Hawaiians call Mark Zuckerberg 'the face of neocolonialism' over land lawsuits
UK Guardian ^ | January 23, 2017 | Jon Letman and Julia Carrie Wong

A few days after Christmas, Mark Zuckerberg shared a series of photographs of his family at their $100m, 700-acre property in Kauai. The Facebook CEO and his wife “fell in love with the community and the cloudy green mountains”, he wrote, and decided to “plant roots and join the community ourselves”.

Two days later, Zuckerberg’s lawyers filed lawsuits against hundreds of Hawaiians who may own an interest in small parcels within the boundaries of Zuckerberg’s estate. The “quiet title” suits, first reported by the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, are used to clarify the often complicated history of land ownership in Hawaii and can result in owners being forced to sell their land at auction. In some cases, defendants are even required to pay the legal fees of the plaintiff – in this case, the world’s fifth richest man.

What else do you expect from a leftist like Zuckerturd, hypocrisy is the religion of the left. He demands the USA has open borders and no wall and what does he do? Sues for borders around his mansion and builds a wall around his other one.

If the Governor truly cared about the Citizens, he would SEIZE Zuckerbergs Property and turn it over to the Locals, using the KELO Decision as justification..

Zuckerberg COULD NOT STOP HIM!!!

Oops....there goes his plan to run for president. Bad optics to sue poor Hawaiians when you’re a billionaire with seven hundred acres of scarce island property. Pres. Trump never did anything that greedy.

Gee, I hope Hawaii doesn’t unfriend him over this.
Neocolonialists are often misunderstood.

He just stepped into a minefield. The Hawaii politics concerning native Hawaiians are complex and contentious.

Yep, if he was smart he would knock down the Walls he put up and stop the lawsuits, he will probably lose this lawsuit and he will piss off most of folks in Kauai.

Money and fame mean NOTHING to Kauaians. Aside from Nihau Kauai has some of the only native Hawaiians. They will not be welcoming Zuck. And they will NOT allow any wall or fence get in the way of getting down to the beach on that property.
