“Hawaiians must have the IQ s of MORONS !” As a MORON yourself, put down that broad brush.
Nothing will happen to the officials who were in charge before and during this tragedy because they are all DEMOCRATS.
Exactly !
My thought as well.
Bump
Did anyone cry out..”I can’t breath?”
I think it is country wide.......
I heard he was reassigned to a non emergency part of the government. Any word where he was assigned?
From Wikipedia:
“Mazie Keiko Hirono: The first elected female senator from Hawaii, the first Asian-American woman elected to the Senate, the first U.S. senator born in Japan, and the nation’s first Buddhist senator. She considers herself a non-practicing Buddhist[1][2] and is often cited with Hank Johnson as the first Buddhist to serve in the United States Congress.[3] She is also the third woman to be elected to Congress from Hawaii (after Patsy Mink and Pat Saiki).
This is pure identity politics, the bedrock of Marxism.
Surprising since Asians have high IQs but are also subservient to authority.
When government senses that things are spinning out of control, its instinct is to clamp down, asserting control in ways that make no sense or are actively harmful — all to maintain the narrative that We Are In Control. There was a lot of this after Katrina.
Loss of life is a misfortune to these people, but loss of control is the whole world. It’s why they exist.
bkmk
We have forest fires quite often here in the pine barrens, often with only one road in and out of towns. I would think if Maui fire departments would have focuses on keeping the road open so people could escape, but then then again they didn’t have water to do even that.
“Disobeying barricades?
It’s an insurrection!”
Exactly, and the FBI will get right on it.
This needs to be front and center.
Again no plan for evacuation and incompetent leadership
Did they?
Guess what Hawaii uses to count the votes...
Please, do tell.
I learned a long long time ago to not be like sheep.
Specifically, according to accounts of four people with knowledge of the situation, M. Kaleo Manuel, a Native Hawaiian cultural practitioner and DLNR’s deputy director for water resource management, initially balked at West Maui Land Co.’s requests for additional water to help prevent the fire from spreading to properties managed by the company.
According to the sources, Manuel wanted West Maui Land to get permission from a taro, or kalo, farm located downstream from the company’s property. Manuel eventually released water but not until after the fire had spread.
Gov. Josh Green spoke candidly Monday during a press briefing about conflicts over water on Maui – although not the DLNR-West Maui Land Co. incident directly – and encouraged news media to explore the issue. The conflicts are rooted in the diversion of water by large plantations, which starved downstream users from a resource essential for Native Hawaiian agriculture, particularly the traditional practice of growing taro or kalo.
