Go ahead and fact check it:
Didn’t warn people with warning sirens
Turned off the water, even to fireman
Barricaded people from leaving disaster
Government benefited from death toll by taking property
Now media censorship and blaming on CO2 climate change.

There is absolutely no comparison to Katrina when:

People told to leave. Transportation available.
Nobody blocked exit
Nobody denied available services
Government didn’t benefit from death toll.
No censorship. Republicans to blame for climate change.

Liberals think Katrina worse but
This is probably the most preventable loss of life by negligent or malicious government in US history. It’s the poster child for why Socialism doesn’t work (paid for government services useless) and why it leads to censorship (government covering up facts) and government misdirection (climate change, not horrible decisions to blame).

Welcome to Fascist Government!!! “You will know them by what they do”

If not deliberate, then at the very least probably a “never let a crisis go to waste” opportunity for long waiting land investors.

Lesson learned. Never leave home unarmed.

Tell me I can’t get away from an inferno, and even declaring I have to turn around and go back?

If that’s really what happened, then it would be me shooting my way out of that inferno I suppose.

People who obeyed, died.

Short term PR problem over barricades killing off undesirables to make way for Schwabbville Beach, versus decades long evictions politics.

The NWO chose the first short term option.

There most famous HI Republican was one of their first two senators: Hiram Fong, who supported Nixon.

Charges of insurrection for those disobedient peons will be made as soon as they review the video. Then they will be rounded up like dogs. Maui Leftnicks have a smile--a sadistic smile--for their control over the masses. Just look at our Cheshire Cat, Biden:

So dumb incompetent libtards prevented people from escaping and killed them

And they refused to set off the sirens that warn of fires and tsunamis.

And they refused to turn on the water to fight the fire because in might not be equity.

Absolutely ! The Maui County Poli e Dept directly caused many deaths by enforcing their stupid barricades . “ Just following orders” claimed the officers on the scene . People should have crashed the barricades and totally bolted , regardless. It will all come out noe , but too late for those who have died from this cop stupidity

I hate to say it but it was probably a mistake to make HI the 50th state in 1960, when it sent competing elector slates for VP Nixon and for John F. Kennedy, who was proclaimed the winner in the new state. HI did voted Republican for president at least twice, 1972 and 1984.

Having lived on Oahu...

I can confidently say Hawaii is run by the most incompetent racist scumbags available. And the idiot Hawaiians vote for them over and over. Just look at Mazzie. It is incurable stupidity running those islands and that’s how the people of Hawaii want it.

Just look at Mazzie.

No thanks, and her voice is even worse.

Anyone who uses the word "equity" is either a real estate agent or a Marxist. The Marxists are really into real estate--the redistribution kind.
