  1. They let the brush grow
    Didn't shut off the power
    Cut off the water
    The island is under Martial law
    No donations are getting through
    FEMA HAS NOW TAKEN OVER
    THE GOVERNMENT SAID THEY WILL TAKE OVER ALL PROPERTY
    15 MINUTE CITIES ARE COMING.
    DID ANY IF ZUCKERBERG, OPRAH'S OR ANY OTHER RICH PEOPLES PROPERTY GET BURNED?

  2. When Oregon burned…
    We were out with hoses & buckets of water from the lakes & streams..

    Looks like they were sitting & waiting for nonexistent help.
    There was an entire OCEAN to get water from..
    Entitlement

    We had No Help. We Helped Ourselves.

  3. It's starting to sound like that Governor of Hawaii is a real piece of work. I think that there's going to be a LOT of stuff coming out about how unprofessional and shady that guy and his organization is. I've got my popcorn ready for the show!🍿

  4. Here is what I think. They left lines energized and let this event unfold with the pre planned excuses. Now the state is going to cheat these people out of their land, and the State acquires the land, they will then bring in someone like Blackrock and up goes the Claus Schwab you will own nothing and like it neighbor hoods. And when the state acquires the land, It will be though imminent domain most likely and not a fair real-estate transaction. Wait and see………

  5. people put in an area a fuel load 1000x bigger than the natural fuel load for the area and 1000x more ignition sources than are naturally there with full knowledge that hurricane-like winds are 100% probable not infrequently … and do not provide adequate escape routes and public emergency training and practice sessions … and then blame some poor slob who didn’t push a button as soon as they think he should have! take note that when we point a finger at someone a number of other fingers are pointing at the one most responsible. on top of that, 2/3 of the people would balk at spending a dime of increased taxes on adequate disaster planning, equipment, procedures, prevention, protection, and relief … and 1/3 of the people would not follow the guidelines provided in these areas and would not obey the command to evacuate because they view it as their personal fundamental right to not cooperate with any state edict however beneficial it may be to themselves or to the others. (after the fact, however, they will sue for damages, hang the button-pusher who didn’t push the button when they think he should have, and ask for federal money and sacrifice from everyone else to re-build their paradise. we are the problem, people, not the poor slob who didn’t push the button when we think he should have!

  6. They could have gave warning and began evaluating as soon as they knew the herricane was coming. As soon as they saw the first fire break out. They could have helped people get out. Sent out choppers and boats to get people out. Government didn't even try. So said. And government does so little. Giving $700 is not going to help. What is $700 to a family in this economy?

  7. If no one is held accountable in the Deep state Government (The 4th branch of Government ). More criminal acts will be happening such as killing of JFK and his brother, Katrina criminal acts, The fire in Hawaii , January 6 Capital attack and the refusal to answer congress questions if there were Federal agents on site or not?these are only examples

  8. ASK WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN OF HAWAII! ASK WHO HAS BEEN GIVEN POWER OVER THE PEOPLE TO REBUILD MAUI LANDS. THE ANSWER TO BOTH QUESTIONS IS STOLEN. Research the truth for yourself. Answers will not be found in the corrupt mainstream media press.
