(Dem Gov.) Green says improved response in Lahaina could have saved lives as key questions remain unanswered

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - One month after the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century, basic questions about the government’s preparation and response to the blaze that destroyed Lahaina remain unanswered — as the painstaking task of identifying remains continues.

No one will say who was calling the shots as the disaster unfolded or why the Bissen Administration waited until after the town had burned to ask the state for help.

Between county officials dodging basic questions and state agencies playing word games, deciphering who knew what — and when — has been incredibly complicated.

What is clear is that one month later, no one has taken responsibility or even apologized for failures the governor now says could have contributed to the death toll.

From the stories about roadblocks on the ground, no response in Lahaina could have saved lives.

Never happen. The Democrat Party with the help of the Educational System has finally got the voters dumbed down to the point they desire. The media can tell the voters that shit is grape jelly and the voters will demand jelly sandwiches. They already got them where they don’t know if they are males or females. The rest will be easy.

Then more of them will die like sheep.

Throw the bums out, or let your kids and grandkids suffer and die.

It’s right there in plain sight.

The Democrats can call it Magicland, but it is what it is.

They will and they are. One cannot present facts to a indoctrinated Democrat. They refuse to believe anything anything except what the Democrats tell them. And they absolutely refuse to check anything out for themselves.

“no one takes responsibility or even apologizes...” — doesn’t that just sum up Leftie MO - Hawaii, Afghanistan, Russia/Russia/Russia, leaving Southern border defenseless, allowing in cartels and fentanyl, mutilating children, attacking babies in the womb, spending zillions on homeless as numbers continue to rise, spending fecklessly and creating a debt crisis and inflation....et cetera et cetera et cetera as the King of Siam would say.

And they won't apologize (people should be losing their jobs while they are "apologizing"). Once this is area is all cleared up and forgotten about, I expect to see new, wealthier people (Democrats) moving into that area.
