“All of them had burns, some even had shrapnel”.
Was it the fireworks OR The ALCOHOL….
😮😮
Illegal. Hawaii, what you doin' ?? Children with burns, people unlived…..
loosey goosey and laid back…. but accompanied by funerals
Woooo 2025 ain't starting good at all first new Orleans than New York now Hawaii smh 🤦
If the law makers just legalize normal fireworks again, they wouldn't have all these aerial fireworks. They tried last year but mayor vetoed it.
Stupidity strikes again!
Here we go, guaranteed no more fireworks in democrat Hawaii 😂
You’d think an island could control illegal fireworks . Shows how inadequate the US is in enforcing anything
This illegality has been going on for decades. It's expected
ILLEGAL EXPLOSIVES from CHINA have been unloaded at the state PORTS and SHIPPING DOCKS for years. Only HIGH RANKING STATE OFFICIALS could permit this to happen. Its time for the FBI to INVESTIGATE them.
Literally playing with bombs.
yes because outright banning fireworks will totally solve the problem, if anything that's just going to make them more rampant.
was anyone injured?
The people involved should be charged with 3 counts of murder.
And the District Attorney will offer a plea deal of probation.
It’s so unfortunate because this is how we normally bring in the New Year in Hawaii. Literally just posted a video on my page of our celebration. Prayers and love sent to the victims and their families.🙏🏾❤️✨
these are not home made. they are imported from outside of hawaii.
How do the fireworks get to Hawaii if they are illegal?
Pls pray for my family my cousin king he’s middle name is Ayden
And my anty died or my cousin
That was preventable. Sad.
My empathy extends the length of a coin
The natives are really into celebrating New Years. When i lived there they were always letting off fireworks and saying happy new year well into March.
People are so stupid! Pyrotechnic wannabes.
Ignorance should be took into account .
This is so sad
