Governor Ige says the action is taken to honor the victims of the gun violence carried out in the Atlanta Metropolitan Area.

“I know the people of Hawaii join me in honoring the lives of the eight people killed and another wounded in Georgia this week and in sending our Aloha to the families of all those killed or wounded in this senseless act of violence,” the Hawaii governor said. “That six of the victims were women of Asian descent is particularly appalling and I condemn all violence based on race or ethnicity. It is our kuleana to stop the rising tide of hate crimes against people of Asian descent.”

My hamster died. Can I get half-staff days for him?
This site seems to be up to date on half staff proclamations...

We had one of those Asian “massage parlors” not far from our home in a little strip mall. It got busted for prostitution. The shooter had a sex addiction and used that as his excuse to go on his rampage. So he basically shot up brothels, killing one of the owners who had a “heart of gold”.
A lot of drug dealers support the local community, giving out cash and food to the poor. If some junkie goes into a drug den and kills the dealer with the heart of gold and a few of his runners are they going to fly the flags at half mast?
I suppose. If one were to equate a hamster on the same level as a human being.
This is another serious propaganda approach where the media is playing the racial game without offering proof are claiming those few attacks on Asians was done because of their supporting Covid 19. That should get stomped on. They’re doing this to cover the demons who worked with the CCP don’t want the CCP to be blamed for creating the CCP 19 virus. Let’s not forget the demons already acknowledged that Covid 19 really helped get Biden in. The conservative media should refer to it as “The CCP 19 virus not the “China Virus” and demand make the CCP pay by kicking Biden and the CCP out which would happen if that did with a Biden loss.
Why not drug dealers too
Half staff for hookers?
In other news, Governor Pritzker has ordered Illinois flags at permanent half-staff for the perpetual homicides in gun-controlled Chicago. Not.
Was it an Asian hamster?
Oh yeah, an Asian hamster, maybe, but not a European hamster. That's my point!
This is one if those area where you can resist without penalty. My flag won’t be half-staffed for a bunch if sex workers.
Maybe we should all go out and support our local Asian owned and run massage “spas”.
Let’s fly flags at half staff for an entire year for the nursing home patients murdered in NY, NJ, MI, etc.
They’re at half staff in TN now. Ridiculous.
