Hawaii = Democratic state
Those in charge = Democrats

Bottom line = When democrats make a mistake and apologize for it, either nothing happens or they get promoted.
Simple science. :facepalm2:

Meh. I don't think it was a good thing, as it's highly unlikely that the boss had anything to do with it unless you just want to say, "he should have had foolproof processes in place," which I think is a bit of a cop-out.

Our society seems to have a burning need to assign blame every time something goes wrong, and make someone PAY. In this case, if it was intentional or somebody was acting irresponsibly, then yeah, let's make them pay. However, we need to recognize that mistakes get made, we're all human, and sometimes you just need to grit your teeth and accept that someone fucked up and they feel bad about it.

I'm sure that Hawaii will be flooded with fact-finding missions, after-action reviews, and a million boring workshops in the coming days. Let's let them do their thing.

People are saying that the persoln should go to to jail fo4 years. Then again these were the same idiots that were hiding under mattresses in a garage or ditching their cars on the freeway to hide in a tunnel. Ummm hello you all forgot about the fallout that will kill you in a much more worse way than being blown up....

This was intentional fear mongering. Leave the tourists something to think about when they return home and vote.

Back in the day one just dug a fallout shelter. Proactive and practical instead of soiling drawers that is so prevalent today.

I wonder how many family secrets or confessions were made that should have never been told...

For as many babies that were conceived, Im sure there are just as many divorces going to happen!

Yup Trump is the one doing all the missle testing in Asia....

D.B. Carrey is Apparently placing the blame on Trump.

I agree, it's ridiculous to blame Trump for a false alarm. Are these guys saying if Trump wasn't President and the alarm went off, they wouldn't listen to it (because there's no "tension")?
