Along with burned flesh, I am smelling some hefty class action law suits coming soon, targeting the authorities at all levels. After all, speaking plainly, the deepest of pockets are in government.

The Incompetence is strong with that government

I can’t even imagine the hell those poor people went thru in their final minutes alive... RIP all.

The 1100 missing are incinerated by central planning.

I don’t think we’re in America anymore, Toto.

One family swerved around the barricade and was safe in a nearby town 48 minutes later

5-0 and the FBI have APBs out on those miscreants now and are conducting extensive searches to arrest them for that insolent infraction.

So— the electric crew that stopped them were not burned up? That IS strange. Electric “polls” and all the poles that were downed when the electric lines fell? Why were the poles down blocking a road? How is that possible without trees to pull them down? This is a bizarre story for certain.

Darwin is hardest on those who give up their personal liberties for some collective.

This makes no sense. Why would they put these barricades up at all? It won’t stop the fire from spreading.

If the goal was to keep people from driving through the area where the grass fire was then this was not helpful in a quickly changing fire environment.

Yes, the lawsuits will be in the billions. Every single person responsible should be indicted for intentional depraved indifference and about 100 other charges.

The videos I’ve seen show burned out cars and houses mostly very close to the ocean. Why didn’t people leave their cars and walk one or two hundred yards to the ocean for protection?

These very real Maui refugees get $700 while fraudulent refugees crossing our order illegally get $2200 in cash , new free clothes and an airline ticket to the destination of their choice

I expected Potatus to hand out bags of marshmallows and barbecue sauce, telling the assembled victims “You know what they say, ‘if life gives you lemons, make lemonade’. Well, if life incinerates your children, the least you can do is enjoy some good roasted marshmallows”, given how utterly tone deaf he is. Maybe next fire he will do that. And then get 82 million votes, or rather, ballots.

prevented from escaped the horrific wildfire by barricades that were put up after electric polls were downed

I stopped reading after that. English, as a second language, leaves a lot to be desired in journalism.

The stories a leaking out. Let those bastards die by a thousand cuts.
