Why identify these people as “desperate”. The people who aren’t committing crimes are in desperate need, too.
They’re making excuses. Who here actually believes that “desperate people” are performing these robberies?
Hi has draconian gun control laws. This is proof positive that if guns are made illegal, only criminals will have guns.
Talk about government failure. Why hasn’t aid arrived yet? Why aren’t there flood lights on every corner? Boggles the mind.
Hawaiian Amish?
Does Hawaii not have a National Guard?
They voted for it. F em. No dem will come to help and the repubs who care should give them what they deserve. NOTHING. Let them depopulate themselves. Dems want us to depopulate. Start w the people in Maui. They voted for dems let them suffer the consequences. I wont give them a penney in help. May they all rot in hell.
It puts a whole new meaning of, “wow,” in Maui Wowie!
I hear as the residents die in the streets they cry out ‘where’s Mazie?’
That experience also made it crystal clear that we'd be sitting ducks on that island, in the event of a major emergency. We wound up moving the following spring (the NY unSafe Act was the last straw for us). But Hurricane Sandy was a serious eye opener for me.
The answer is to pull community together like family and work together.
This is just the beginning and mild in comparison to what is in the near future.
I would not want to live near any US city when the food and crime rampages begin.
Vote for Democrats, this is what you get.
Hawaii had a good decision concerning carrying your gun in “sensitive places”, however, I don’t believe enough good people have had the opportunity given Hawaii being a dimocRAT stronghold, to follow the advice my tagline professes.
This urban flash fire, not a wildfire, there’s a difference, highlights in extraordinary detail the FAILURE of over dependence upon government. Every government agency, both State and Federal, who are in charge massively FAILED at the mission the taxpayers have paid a King’s ransom for decades to prevent this from happening.
The genuine saviors are the people of Hawaii who at great peril for themselves, both from the fire and the AUTHORITIES that tried to forbid citizens from helping. They make me proud.
Hopefully the lost souls will not be in vain, this should be the catalyst of change. One party rule leads to complacency, corruption and death. We need to stop throwing money at FEMA and most other alphabet agencies that cannot do the work they’re chartered for.
Requiescat in Pace!
Furthermore Hawaii never should have been a State in the first place.
That’s why the first thing you grab are your guns before they burn up. When the Northridge quake happened in 94, I grabbed my rifle and pistol first after the shaking stopped. The house was wrecked. Never had any problems though. Our neighborhood pulled together. Now I worry about fires up here in the mountains.
or rapes ???
Hawaii has been a rat haven for years. When a crisis hits, the residents come out in droves to help, to help themselves that is, commie style, at gun point, - rape? no extra charge.
As with the left coast and NE states, this behavior is bred into their system. They cannot help it. Violence comes as natural and instinctive as catching mice is to a cat.
If the ChiComs ran Hawaii, could you tell the difference?
That fire moved so fast a lot of folks didn’t have the chance to go back into their homes .. for anything. They had to run to the shore and jump in the water.
Right....and where’s FEMA? This is a massive fail...yet it seems like absolutely nothing effective is being done.
Maybe the first level is the problem - by that I mean the media, they’re deliberately not doing their job. They should be all over this and being reported on 24/7. ....but crickets.
I’ve pondered that myself. If one is well prepared, the unprepared may soon realize it and make you a target.
In a city a home may be looted simply because it’s there, complete with rape and other physical violence.
