I normally ignore news but this has been surprisingly light on details so now I'm curious.
What's actually happened that we know, and what's the accompanying suspicions? Why is it newsworthy?
EDIT
Mike Cernovich summarised it well I think.
A tragedy caused by no-one, a symptom of the general decrease in society wide competence of diversity hires and something that will only increase. Similar to the train derailment or the large explosion in Beirut a few years ago. Corruption and lack of competence on a wide scale causes these accidents.
There will be plane crashes soon.
Latest in a long list of mysterious fires this year, especially in places where rich people like to buy property. And go figure, all of the middle class homeowners in Maui lost everything, and the billionaires are buying up all of the land.
Yeah. Also worth noting that the people in the Las Vegas police during their very suspicious mass shooting ended up moving to the Maui police force recently before this. There are reports that the police were actively blocking the highways during it. Considering the peculiarities with things like boats that were on the water being on fire, it's very interesting.
Too many people walking around with camera phones, too many surveillance cameras that actually work and are better than 1fps.
Meanwhile, out in the backwoods, no one can watch you start a fire unless you're really unlucky (or dumb, like that Italy wildfire dude)
There are quite a few peculiarities this time, but every incident and tragedy that happens intentionally usually has at least one smoking gun where stupidity can't be used as an excuse against critical thinking. There it is.
Well they accept the answer because it gets summarized down to "the local police were just incompetent, we'll do better next time". It's always the out because what never gets asked is "what did they do that qualifies incompetence? How were they incompetent?" In these situations, the police chiefs never admit to what exactly happened and media blasts that "incompetent" statement loudly. People go "oh well" and move on. What are the locals going to do if their police is thoroughly corrupt? Gut the whole rotten fish? A lot of normies just stick their head in the sand to avoid conflict.
Just from this surface-level cursory look into the "how", we find they were preventing people from escaping (this exact thing has happened before in the US on several occasions), which is criminal behavior. The police chief doesn't admit to it because he'd be dead in short order.
The disaster relief people refused to use their PA syst to warn people as well
