Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen refuses to say where he was the day of the Lahaina fire, August 8th. He responded "I don't have that for you."

Another HNN video released a little later tonight was titled:

"Maui’s mayor ‘not sure’ who was in charge at emergency management center as Lahaina burned"

They should all be tried for manslaughter.

The mayor looked like Redd Foxx. Although Redd Foxx might have done a better job. He would have been brow beaten by Aunt Esther and would have had the situation under control. And the Mayor was giving the press conference is his elegant Hawaiian shirt. (I know, it's Hawaii.) Basically the mayor proved he was an incompetent know nothing boob.

Another LOL moment was when Major General Hara was speaking and he told a reporter - "Let me finish brother."

Buck passing and professionalism at its finest.

You are absolutely correct. As more comes out on this, it will make people physically sick.

Remember “Chocolate City” and the dozens who perished there due to Nagan’s incompetence? “Bush’s fault” of course

The Democrats have politicized everything.

But when government becomes politicized (i.e., puts political objectives above the job of governing), it is rendered ineffective and incompetent.

No one expects the government to be free of politics, but when government becomes overwhelmed by politics to the exclusion of everything else, bad things happen.

This is apparent at every level of government in the U.S. At the local, state, and, most of all, the federal level. This is why the country is crumbling.

Everything is happening according to plan. The Marxist plan, that is.

What? Questions that show that they are too incompetent to answer or are just plain incompetent? Accusations of racism and White supremacy coming in 3, 2, 1...

Stupid hawaiians vote for stupid democrats and stupid democrats hire democrat police who then block escape routes when a fire hits and murder thousands.

Think the stupid democrat party hawaiian voters will ever blame themselves?

I have just become aware of something that is an important marker in this strange situation. Did you know that back in late November 2022, five previously rented vehicles from Hertz sustained damage similar to the vehicles in the Lahaina fires? My question is was this a shot across the bow to Old Joe saying “We (?) are here and in charge.” Maybe this explains his weird sheepish smile when he was first asked about the Maui fires. So who is in charge? My guess - it is uncontrolled black government operators who are working for the Cabal or it is unfriendly ETs making their presence known. It’s high-tech unconventional warfare for sure. The hit on the previously rented Secret Service vehicles was definitely meant to send a message to Old Joe.

Maybe NOLA has some of the FEMA trailers they can donate to Maui. Nagin never used them for his people so they just sat there, stockpiled, rotting away.

I don’t think this was manslaughter.

I think it was murder.

“I am the very model of a modern Major-General
I’ve information vegetable, animal, and mineral...”

These people need to be rounded up and tried.

How have all of their families/properties managed to escape any deaths or damage?

Curious!
