Hawaii wildfires - Malice of Government officials, or what exactly happened?

 Hawaii wildfires - Malice of Government officials, or what exactly happened?

It's disturbing to think that innocent people may have died due to failures of the Hawaiian government to take care of them, even worse due to potential malice or deranged beliefs outweighing the values of human life. However, this appears to potentially be the case and it's harder to overlook the deranged incompetence of the Hawaiian government, particularly a number of key government officials in Maoui. In a fire that has now killed over 100 people, destroyed over 2200 homes and is perhaps the U.S.'s deadliest in decades, Hawaii officials refused to air the sirens and give warnings for people who barely escaped with their lives [1][2][3], and many did not, with reports of people only aware the fire was approaching mere minutes in advance by having seen it. With little to no warning, people were forced out of their homes in moments, and many were not so lucky and literally burned alive through a failure to escape. When asked about this, these officials doubled down, defending their decision not to warn them with sirens, and said that these people would have died either way. At the same time, the officials refused to allow for water to put out the fires in people's homes, and even cut the water off in some circumstances, defending this again in multiple press conferences by saying that water is precious and not to be wasted. [4][5][6] What deranged ideology could value water more than human life, isn't water storage entirely meant to keep people alive? One official even claimed to be worried about "water equity", a socialist buzzword about sharing things equally. Another official delayed releasing water for more than 5 hours as wildfires raged. The Maui chief says he doesn’t regret not activating sirens during wildfire, claiming ‘We would not have saved those people’. These reports comes from both left and right-leaning sources, with CNN claiming to have had insider knowledge exclusively that water was turned off, and the new york post referencing statements by other politicians. On top of this, the government is now talking about acquiring the burned lands that were destroyed rather than giving it back to the people that were killed, in some form of opportunistic land grab, which begs the question who stands to profit off of this, and why kind of sick people would allow this to occur? It's hard to imagine how people could have such a callous disregard for life to begin with, and double down in disturbing fashion for their delusional and frankly insane decisions, so is it much of a stretch to say they perhaps wanted this?

The are numerous reports of people who barely escaped with their lives. In a disturbing trend across democrat states, with no firebreaks or controlled burns, massive wildfires seem to be breaking out just like in California, and instead of blaming it on govern meant incompetence and a criminally negligent lack of responsibility, instead they shift the blame to anything else, such as climate change or other erroneous ideas (ignoring that wildfires were under control for more than 50 years), instead of takin any personal responsibility. They have even double and trippled down on many of their statements. Very, very simple measures such as controlled burns to get rid of brush and flammable plants and destroying certain lines of plant life and digging trenches to prevent the fire from spread uncontrollably have been implemented for decades, if not centuries to control fire, and only recently due to eco policies have been removed or scaled back. According to a report by CNN, the Hawaiian authorities ranked fire threats consistently as low and ignored repeated warnings. Incredibly simple, and easy measures to prevent these fires were completely removed, and then no warning was given and water supplies were removed. I have no idea exactly what happened and don't claim to have unlimited knowledge, although I know people who personally were lucky to escape with their lives from the island and are in a state of utter shock and disbelief that they received no warning from authorities. There is a simple question to be asked; what the hell exactly happened? 

There was, indeed malice involved with all of this as they were warned of the signs and refused and now seem to be making a land grab for private property to make in to state property. I personally have no idea if this was in any way on purpose, but the brazen incompetence of the government to ensure basic fire safety or implement these protocols, or even to warn people in advance and shut off their water, AND publicly defend these moves is astonishing. Then more astonishing to talk about acquiring the land for public use, instead of giving it back to the people who lost it. It's difficult to know what is going on and why, but it leaves one begging the question of what the hell just happened, and if it's not exactly what it seems to look like; Government incompetence and malice. 



EDIT: In an almost unbelievable update to the Story, there were apparently government roadblocks to fleeing, and only the people who fled the areas survived and smashed through the barricades, with survivors telling of their account. I am at a loss for words. "Maui residents who disobeyed barricade survived fires: AP" [7][8]
