When will they honor the lives of the officials who intentionally turned off water, blocked roads and refused to sound the alarms?

[donnalayton]

God recieve his soul. Condolences to all he loved and to those who loved him.

Maui leadership really honored this hero by cancelling the contract with AMR.

Sometimes you have to wonder if the movie "Blade" was actually a documentary.

Fires don't spread in patches. Look at the Satellite images. These fires were started in many locations

What a heartwarming dedication by the Lanai community to Tony Simpson in EMS, who died in the Lahaina DEW attack Holocaust carried out by the NWO against innocent Americans. As stated here, Tony treated the community like family, not a case number. He was a special breed of medic. The WEF and the rest of the crime syndicates of the NWO saw him as expendable. There were Warriors in Emergency Medicine who were very special people. Rest in Peace, Tony. You are loved by Humanity.

Did anybody see Opah or was she still handing out "comfort pillows" as her distraction ?

It´s time to arrest the Mayor, the Police Chief, heads of Hawaian Electric, Department of Water Supply, Maui Emergency Management Service and and all the government employees that are still following orders from them and lock them up for negligent homicide.

They didn't even explain what happened to him. Sloppy reporting.
