“...’Native Hawaiian cultural practitioner ...”

Did have to sacrifice to Pele first and wait for a sign?

Those still missing after this much time in such an isolated small area must be nearly all dead, or never there in the first place.

Who gave the order for cops to barricade residents inside the inferno?

And you would get access to a weapon in Hawaii how?

It wasn’t dumb and incompetent.

It was intentional and evil.

Never follow the police. They are just there to hurt you.

As more info comes out, forget about prison, the locals might just burn him at the stake. Or toss him into a volcano, since it is Hawaii.

I’m sure that they will be prosecuted soon. They were supposed to die so they could commandeer their property.

In deadly Maui fires, many had no warning and no way out. Those who dodged barricades survived

EXCERPTS

Shane Treu wakes early on Aug. 8, and is in his backyard when he hears a utility pole snap next to Lahainaluna Road. He sees the downed powerline ignite the grass, and calls 911 at 6:37 a.m. to report the fire.

Small brush fires aren’t unusual for Lahaina, and the fire department declares this one 100% contained by 9:55 a.m.

Treu’s neighbor Robert Arconado said the fire reignites around 2 p.m. He records video of it spreading at 3:06 p.m., as large plumes of smoke rise near Lahainaluna Road and are carried downtown by the wind.

There are many ways. Most illegal.

Also depends on what is handy and available. Practically anything can be turned into a weapon when your life is on the line.

It’s hard enough to have weapons behind enemy lines here in Southern CA, and I wouldn’t be here if it was as draconian as Hawaii.

You’d be surprised on how many Californians actually are armed, and heavily. Automatic weapons may not be easily “owned”, but that doesn’t stop Americans from possessing them regardless of the “authorities”.

Reminds me of the scene in The Patriot when the British locked the colonists in the church and set it on fire.

>> to clear the island and rebuild it as a private playground for the elites.

Or a sanctuary city for the Elites when the Reset Revolutions break out on the mainland?

I’ve always told my kids, you do not have to listen to 95% of the people who pretend to have authority to tell you what to do. If a stupid person tells you to do a stupid thing, just ignore them and do what you need to do.

A most excellent comment! Authority exists to be authoritive. That is the prime directive. All else pales.

Firebombing Freedom: The New Sneak Attack on Hawaii by the Fifteen-Minute Fascists

I thought I read somewhere about something suspicious that the police chief was involved in prior to the fires, but I can’t find it now.

I think the police chief was the officer in a command position during the Las Vegas mass shooting years ago that killed so many people.

Somebody in authority in Maui was, I know that.

I read that the electric company had plans to deal with fires after a bad year in 2018(?). New equipment, clearing brush, etc. Instead they spent millions of dollars on “going green”.

Blindly following orders will kill you.

I know some will decry my saying that and whine about how I need to trust the system or some such nonsense.

Get bent.
