Because they are not even remotely similar, it is like comparing apples and white supremacists...

While I strongly disagree with the Hawaiian protesters, (I was there for their protests against Keck's outrigger telescopes... which eventually were cancelled after 10's of millions of dollars were wasted ) I would never compare the two groups in a million years.

The hawaiian protesters were non-violent, and they were ARRESTED for their civil disobedience. They actually have ancestral history on the land there, they have ancestors buried on the land.

Did the Malheur wackos have ancestors buried in the bird refuge?

The Hawaiian protesters can legitimately claim the land was stolen from their people and that is why they were peacefully protesting.

The Malheur occupiers were using threat of violence to protest the conviction of guys that set a fire on federal land to destroy evidence of poaching, and another fire that endangered BLM employees.

The Hawaiian protesters were trying to protect their cultural heritage, The Malheur malcontents were vandalizing the native american's cultural heritage:

Stop and THINK before you claim these ridiculous false equivalencies...
