The government studied the whole issue and concluded they had no culpability.... that's a shocker

[gexkgrl]

So the police determined that the response was so poor because they need more "Tactical Equipment"? What!?

[ThomasManiscalco-cbfl]

Nothing but more lies.wheres all the kids

[Staceypotterphotography]

Ugh I can't take this deception anymore. Lies, lies, lies.

[deidregreen]

Breaks my heart when I see all those cars in a row trying to leave and they were blocked in by the cops. Trying to get to safety and the ones they trusted to help them out blocked them inside to burn alive along with their kids and loved ones. That’s what I see!

[niallmccall]

Still doesn't explain why you've taken there property. This was a land grab plain and simple. Disgusting.

[frankmartin]

The Maui police set up road blocks preventing people from taking escape routes our of Lahaina.

How did the blue car and green motor cycle shown in the news drown feed, survive the fire?? Everything around them is scorched. Strange??⚖️🇺🇸

[horsemindedwtp]

we learned nothing. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR THE REPORT. Hey everyone, big big news!!! We now have a report. And we are going to share it with

[denise]

Shameful report just because you said doesn't make it true

[tedlewis]

This looks like one of those California fires we're only just the towns were burned.. and we even got photographs and videos of the lasers they used

[vduzdjl]

Why do all fire depts have such slow response?

[stoepomenokefalaio]

They made them stay in certain areas too. I wonder why so many people died

[johnhuey]

It was 3 satellites from the Chinese. Metel is what burned, not wood.

[justinewhite-hadley]

So they were at no fault?? Someone told those officers to block roads!! I don't blame the men doing what they were told-But Who The Hell gave that order???? THAT is the person in question!!

[sbpgous]

Yea they need new tactical equipment there body armor wasn’t fire proof

[dianebragau]

The whole lie of the story makes me as sick as George S. taking.

[BADDUDE_CORNPOP]

About a week or two after this we stopped hearing about the Thousand missing children what happened to them? Why are their parents and still not on the news every single night asking where the bodies where are the bones why did this whole thing just go away

[thatbme]

All a big show. They know what they did and know you ain't gonna do anything about it.
