Fox News showed up with
their own heckler. The cameraman did not turn on
his camera until the heckler began to interrupt the
ceremony. He shut it off again when His Majesty
invited the heckler to come up front and get a
microphone so that he did not have to shout and so
that everone could hear his arguments. Majesty then
patiently answered each question until the heckler
wound down. Then Majesty invited the man to lunch,
made room for him among the royal family and asked
if it would be alright with him if they could
proceed. He agreed and the ceremony was concluded.
None of Hawaii's TV stations mentioned this
significant event in the history of Hawaii.
