Pure Mayhem: Liberals Blame Trump as Families Recover, Feds. Investigate Hawaii False Alarm
Townhall ^ | January 13, 2018 | Timothy Meads

Posted on 01/13/2018 2:34:44 PM PST by EdnaMode

Earlier today, Townhall reported that a false alarm emergency notification had been sent to every single person with a cell phone in Hawaii warning of impending danger. Now, authorities are investigating how this disastrous error occurred in the first place, while panic-stricken citizens recover from the traumatic experience.

The text message read "Emergency Alert: BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL," at approximately at 8:07 HST. While some took to Twitter to determine if it was real, most believed the text message was real and began calling loved ones and seeking shelter.

Jamie Lee Curtis ✔ @jamieleecurtis This Hawaii missle scare is on YOU Mr. Trump. The real FEAR that mothers & fathers & children felt is on YOU. It is on YOUR ARROGANCE. HUBRIS. NARCISSISM. RAGE. EGO. IMMATURITY and your UNSTABLE IDIOCY. Shame on your hate filled self. YOU DID THIS! 3:24 PM - Jan 13, 2018

✔ @JimCarrey I woke up this morning in Hawaii with ten minutes to live. It was a false alarm, but a real psychic warning. If we allow this one-man Gomorrah and his corrupt Republican congress to continue alienating the world we are headed for suffering beyond all imagination. ;^\ 4:01 PM - Jan 13, 2018

@MSNBC Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard: “Our leaders have failed us. Donald Trump is taking too long. He's not taking this threat seriously ... This is literally life and death that is at stake.” 2:19 PM - Jan 13, 2018

I wouldn’t even consider that it was an accident. The Left are coming unhinged period. This is the sort of thing only they could or would do. 2018 will be the year the moonbats go completely on the loose.

Jobim says it was total radio/internet silence for 40mins before the ‘false alarm’ was given.

Not so dumb these corrupt rats. I think this was their intention in the first place. Well typical liberals...they just spite themselves. I mean this isn’t going to help tourism is it? Only reason they have money in that place.

Did anyone make a video of what it was like in Hawaii during the panic minutes before the “all clear” signal was given? We may all learn from it.

Jack Posobiec has two amazing ones on his twitter feed, one in an airport, another on a golf course.

Just turned on Fox news and I cannot believe all the information they are giving to the soviets, and N Korea.. also to the rest of the world.

I cannot say at this point that everyone had the same experience that I had, but I could
find nothing on radio or internet or from cell phone alert that told me what the disposition
was during this time. Tulsi was sending tweets, but why on earth would I be aware of
that? I called friends who were all equally in the dark. One friend (a retired naval officer)
heard our Big Island civil defense chief say that the "nuclear" threat was a false alarm.
Nothing had been said about a NUCLEAR threat, although everyone immediately
construed as much. But for the civil defense chief to insert that word was utterly careless,
and indicative of this event from start to finish.

This didn't happen by accident.

Someone did this knowing exactly what they were doing.

Systems like this are designed with protections and safeguards to prevent exactly this sort of false alert.

It's not as if there is a large unprotected button on a desk that you can push by accident or by setting your backpack on in a careless moment.

Was this actually a test by someone connected to the NORKs to see exactly how inefficient the alert system really is?

Or to elevate the scare factor and put pressure on America to negotiate something favorable to the NORKs?

Here is the URL of DemocRAT in Hawaii explaining and admitting that the mistaken Missile alert was his fault. https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/904369/Hawaii-ballistic-missile-threat. What can go wrong with nothing but these folks at the helm/button.? In this democrat state we conservatives are out numbered about 8 to 1. Democraps: Governor, both Senators and our one member of the House.
That is about it here in Kea’au.

The fact that CINC hasn’t addressed it means it really could have happened. That’s been worrying me since it happened...

This would also explain Gabbard’s ‘Trump didn’t do enough’.
She tweeted 12 minutes after the broadcast that it was false. Quite incongruous.

Yep - went to Jamie's twitter and posted "Never took you for a delusional snowflake - hope it's just a bad hair day..."

I'll probably get kicked off for being 3% as combative/insulting as she was in her post.....
