Government is almost completely useless. Need to dismantle it as much as possible.

Wasn’t there something very similar to this during the Sandy Hook shooting??
There was a crisis reenactment going on???????
And during 9/11 as well which was why there was no one nor any military planes available to respond????

Every one of these people need to face criminal charges.
Every one.

Ain’t Democrats great. Can’t interrupt their conference for real world situation. Pathetic.

I heard on talk radio yesterday the Emergency Management Director was hired from among over 30 applicants and had ZERO experience in managing emergencies. Maui burned while he pondered where water should go based on equity.
Also to note, the Sheriff from Vegas mass shooting event is now Sheriff in Maui.
Incompetency can run and hide, but boy does it show up at the worst times.

Its been said that a lot of Hawaiian officials simply got their job based on ‘friendships’ or family connections.

Fixed, in a general way.

Hawaii governor explaining why warning signals were not activated:
“When the warning sirens go off, it traditionally means a tsunami
and you should seek higher ground which in this case stupid
Mauians who cant tell the difference between a fire and a tsunami
would have run straight into the fire.”

How can you run out of water to fight fires when you are in the middle of the Pacific Ocean? Have to say that is a curiosity of my own. Obviously, they didn't have any plan to do so. It would take separate infrastructure to use seawater very far inland and it would kill everything, including any of their limited soil. In reality, I doubt any previous planners ever contemplated having an Emergency Management Director that was not smart enough to use water to fight a fire. Hard to plan for stupid.

Bottom line. They turned off the alerting system after the nuke scare and no one knew how to turn it back on. You get what you vote for.

As far as being competent, they ARE completely useless.
As far as subjugating us, they are VERY good.
