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.

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.

I noticed that immediately Hawaii congresspeople and many others blamed Trump and his handling of North Korea for the panic. Almost made me look for some tin foil.

When I first heard of this, I thought it might be a prank as a way to test Trump. My opinion gradually changed when I saw a screen shot of the menu, which I had to admit, could cause an accidental alarm if the operator was not careful. But now with four people losing their jobs, I might be back to the deliberate false alarm theory.

We were initially told it was a "glitch". It's a human error. It's almost always a human error.

If the lower levels are fired (or prosecuted) for following orders from upper level political overseers, the problem will self correct.
