It doesn’t matter if it was a weapon, a powerline or a match. The response to the disaster tells you what you need to know. They literally blocked people from escaping a fire.
Exactly! Our taxpayer dollars have absolutely funded the R&D for working DEWs and HELs, but I have no idea if they were deployed here. But the local government/police absolutely condemned their own citizens to a horrific and excruciating death when they blocked those roads and prevented people from fleeing the inferno.
The devil is preparing a special ring in hell for the folks that ordered and carried out that response.
Are you talking about the immediate, “while the fire was burning” response? Or are you talking about the long term response.
I think the authorities are upfront about how they screwed up the immediate response. My guess is you will find that radio communications were disrupted or that they relied too heavily on cel phone comms.
Long term? I am not sure what people expect. They will go through every square inch of that place looking for bodies/parts. Then it will be demolished. Then it will be up to every property owner to rebuild or not, depending on their insurance. The community/state/Feds will rebuild in the infrastructure.
I keep seeing people being outraged that we are giving X $10billion dollars but not sending any to Maui. What would Maui do with any of it until the are done with the search and recovery?
Folks are too influenced by “catch phrases” and “knee jerk” crap. They don’t think the people dealing with these emergencies know what they are doing because Alex freakin’ Jones says they aren’t.
The internet is full of arm chair quarterbacks who have zero experience and who have never been around a disaster-but they have all the answers about causes and responses.
