He contradicts himself several times. Does he know what he’s talking about, or how to talk to outside media? Tonga should have some ‘new bloodline leaders’ in the prodemocracy movement to complete this very crucial job, not people like him. No wonder why people have act in such an undemocratic way last Thursday. Ne u talaange ki he fefine ni, Indeed he is craczy as you have witnessed, and this is the language kind they have been indoctrinated to their folllowers’ minds with in the past few years, i.e., political words of deceitfulness and cunning, and the encouragement of slanders and derogative words in its various forms throughout Newspapers and in their pulic meetings at Pangasi’i and else where. Worst of all, democracy leaders have implanted in their followers’ minds the belief that
...violence is justice/violent is the final solution, and this shall be the final solution if it is the only avenue to the gateway to achieve liberal democracy in the Kingdom. As it is reflected in Tutone’s interview, that, violence is a sign of people being enlightened and there is no need for obedience to the old system of Monarchy, and the riot was caused by the King and his Governmen. Pea toki pehe mai e TV Commentator he ‘osi e faka’eke’eke, ko e ola ‘o e being enlightened ko hono tutu mo e maumau’i.
