Thanks for posting this Dude.
In watching the destruction this incident caused in the news report posted below, the potential damage that could have been caused by this is amazing.
This could have set many houses ablaze. Could have killed many more.
And now the calls for "tough enforcement" "new laws" all coming out of the woodwork.
And for what? I really don't think that fireworks in Hawaii is going to be a topic that will just go away over this one issue. And I'd love to see HPD and/or ATF going in and making arrests today of the people behind this - possibly being relatives of the dead and injured. I'm sure that would go over just great with the population!
Where we live here in Hawaiian Acres - we had a good solid 6 hours of bang bang bang - and my guess is NONE of those were "illegal" fireworks - just the "legal" fireworks that people paid 50 bucks to get a permit to spend thousands more on sheer waste.
In fact, my opinion is there could be hundreds more stories just like this - and yet - the insanity would just continue.
Kind of like the "war on drugs" or the "gun debate."
""Just very, very sad — nothing I have ever seen in EMS,” said Honolulu EMS Director Jim Ireland. “Some of the folks who were here who have been to war, who have been in combat, said it reminded them of things they have seen in combat.""
