Orders to kill the locals?
Most of the cops and national guard here ARE LOCALS . Nobody’s killing nobody . Besides , ‘ the locals ‘ mostly all have guns themselves . Problems in Maui stemmed from utility company malfeasance and complacency . County government too, total , initial, ineptitude. . Topped off by State DLNR incompetence. The cops, MPD ( again: ‘locals’) did some really sketchy things , in vehicle movement control. But they also saved a lot of lives in real time ,while the fire raged... These State & County officials are lucky ( so far) that ‘ the locals ‘ haven’t gone after them. People are pussed. Beyond pissed . Verging on mental . Can’t really blame them . It was the f- of up of all time...
