I hear that people died in their cars because of police barricades.

[cnsmom]

This fire was the act of the Devil and they couldn’t buy your land if you escaped

Why Was A Barricade Blocking The Only Paved Road Out Of Lahaina?

——————————————————————

Good question. And why was the water turned off so these wildfires could not be contained?

[rktman]

Ask orca wimpfree.

I’m reminded of that scene from The Truman Show. When Truman started to realize his whole life was a sham, and he tried to escape by driving out of the city. Only to be stopped and blocked and hindered at every turn so that he could not leave.

[joma89]

For the same reason there was a door on the showers which kept the Zyklon B from escaping.

[exnavy]

It was a planned die off.

[marron]

Actually there were two ways out of town. And both blocked.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Human sacrifice to the old Hawaii gods…

[P-Marlowe]

The cops who put up the barricades should be tried for murder.

[DeplorablePaul]

A person could be forgiven if he theorized that the local officials tried to maximize the destruction. Eco zealots love wild fires to sell global warming. This disaster gave them a huge body count while putting billions in valuable real estate on the market.

[Jyotishi]

I read that tourists were allowed to leave.

[Chode]

who ordered it put there???

[Engraved-on-His-hands]

Absolutely horrible situation.

But don’t put me in the camp that says that this was a planned attack to wipe out the people. Unforeseen things happen. Comfort the survivors. And even when human actions are complicit, don’t be too quick to attribute something to malice if stupidity is an available option.

[JBW1949]

My opinion is this whole thing was planned...

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Halon Razor: Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by incompetence. But don't rule out malice.

The Court of Foolishness of Gerard de Lairesse.
The accused, pursued by Hatred, is led by Calumny, Envy and Perfidy before a judge with donkey ears, surrounded by Ignorance and Suspicion.

But don't rule out malice.

It is being reported that the wildfires that we just witnessed in Maui were the deadliest wildfires in the entire history of the United States

The 1871 Peshtigo fire in Wisconsin, which may have killed as many as 2,400 people, was worse.

[Fiji Hill]

A fire broke out on the outskirts of Lahaina at around 6.30am on Tuesday, August 8 and was declared ‘100 percent contained’ several hours later. Fire crews then left the scene even though the fire was still burning within the containment area.

Why did the fire crews leave the scene? I don't know much about firefighting, but it would seem to me that they would not leave until the fire was completely out.

[marktwain]

The far left are cultists who believe their made-up assumptions about the nature of reality are true, no matter how many times they fail in practice.

It is not difficult to understand how individuals who base their entire lives and outlooks on fantasies make bad decisions when an understanding of reality is necessary.

Remember: to the left, Math is racist. Objectivity is racist.

In short: Reality is racist, so it must be ignored.

You can ignore reality, but you cannot escape the consequences of ignoring reality.

[Bob434]

Came up with a sayign today- remember they accused bush of lying in iraq war claiming ‘Bush lied, people died”?

Well “Hawaii burned while Biden tanned” (or sunbathed- either will work)
