This has to be the ALL TIME worst false alarm EVER! And the last I read was that the employee who sent out the alarm wasn't cooperating with the authorities. I don't think this story is over yet.

So the “one person” responsible story wasn’t true.

This smacks of some millenial punk’s idea of a “dry run” to demonstrate with some twisted logic just exactly how horrible Trump really is........either that or a Deep State FF muscle flex

The governor was advised of the false alert within 5 minutes of it going out but he could not tweet that it was false because he did not know his twitter password. Took another half hour to get a tweet out. Does the idiot governor also get his walking papers?

His refusal would appear to make it a SWATting of the Trump adminstration.

Leftards suck

It seems ONE person was directly responsible but naturally management has to be held responsible also.

That’s the way it is.

Wow. I guess working for the People’s Democratic Republic of Hawaii has its risks.

“””The worker, who was fired Friday and whose name has not been revealed, has confused real-life events and drills in the past, the state said in a report. His poor performance has been documented for years, and other members of the team say they were not comfortable working with him in any role.”””


Another example of repeated incompetence by government workers and these employees are not terminated until people get injured.

The OP mentions two others - one of which resigned almost immediately. Sure, holding management responsible is normal but it sounds like there are others that were involved.
