a Govt official actually took blame for a subordinates mistake.
did I wake up not in the USA/alternate universe? 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.

Quote: Hawaii Gov. David Ige said there wasn't a process in place to send out a message stating "that this is a false alarm." It's not always the first layer in a nanny state that gets you.

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!

Then get your ass out of bed before freakin 8 am ya lazy bastid! Quote: "I woke up this morning in Hawaii with ten minutes to live. It was a false alarm, but a real psychic warning," he tweeted later in the day, blaming Donald Trump and his political party for fueling tensions in the region. "If we allow this one-man Gomorrah and his corrupt Republican congress to continue alienating the world we are headed for suffering beyond all imagination." Yup Trump is the one doing all the missle testing in Asia.... D.B. Carrey is Apparently placing the blame on Trump. https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/celebr ... li=BBnbfcL

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")?
