Making laws and enforcing laws are two different things
Yup, it's disheartening to call 911 only to be scoffed at. That's why I stopped calling infractions in.
This is why professionals only should be allowed to do such displays.
You think ?
Yup
Maybe you missed the “illegal” part genius
Doing so well in life while hundreds are homeless just down the road , cant help yourselves huh?
literally playing with bombs.
Illegal for a reason...🙏🙏😢💔
The homeowners should be charged for all those emergency responders.
Its free
@@Blacksmith-d9i I bet other charges are coming soon $$$$$ one house for sale soon as well.
FACT: The poorest neighborhoods have the most fireworks.
Expensive cars in the driveway, though - go figure.
@ wea? Oh, u mean da Tacoma? Brand new, 2000-tree. Cherry brah.
@ Mercedes, Hummer, BMW.
@@rongreen8962 google map pic from years ago. It’s a hood.
Sad but true! 🤦🏽♀️
Fireworks should be banned period. Every year people die from stupid crap like this.
Agree! Not to mention the fear a lot of us go through EVERY 6 months, New Years, and Independence day. Our pets and animals crazy with fear. Neighbors don't give a F about how you feel, as they are blowing up those illegal bombs!
Yep! All fireworks should be banned.
No. Stop promoting authoritarian governments
you should be banned ya simp
We have many sheep that live in Hawaii clearly🤣
Dis wat happen wen fakaz tink dey da man an no take care…
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
They need to stop sending cops kicking people off the road watching fireworks people being doing it for years no one in danger.they should send cops driver around all neighborhoods instead look for illegal fireworks that’s the problem even if they just drive around neighborhood would make some people aware
Enough already, this is not the local tradition originally a Chinese tradition of celebrating the New Year. This is criminal behavior and is not in keeping with a sense of aloha and respect for the community and neighbors around you. Geez even after people are KILLED?? and dozens are injured people are blaming officials that because other fireworks were banned people bought and used these bomb like illegal aerials?? NO!! its not the Mayor or City Council or fire department or police its the people who set off these deadly illegal fireworks, they are to blame for people being killed and injured, probably their own family members and friends. They knew this was illegal and dangerous. They did not have regard for the safety and peace of the community around them. I don't care if they are from a kamaaina family that's been here for hundreds of years, don't be using the fact that you are local as an excuse for your stupid criminal act that killed people. Even if these explosions did not happened all the community and properties around them was endangered and put under trauma, and every year it gets worse. These illegal fireworks are literally bombs that fly and 95% of the neighborhood do not like them and hate it when they are exploding near their residence. This is not cool, this is not aloha.
Ahhh shaddap!
You sound like our politicians trying to rebrand aloha. More people die in cars on our roads every day but we need to get to work so it's not a problem. No matter how much aloha you have, bad things still happen. No matter what you ban, accidents will still occur. Aloha should always exist with the right people and not as a form of control by the government.
Plenty Chinese Hawaiians here so check yourself.. it is our tradition!
you sound like our politicians trying to rebrand aloha as a law. More people die on our roads every day. What if it was an electric car that blew up and killed a bunch of people, what would all these green agenda politicians say then... Nothing!!!
@originaljosh420 it's your tradition to blow up your house and kill people? That's a really stupid tradition.
Tip: The containers full of the illegal fireworks are coming into the container facility on a certain island associated with the Port of Honolulu.
City and County and State. You should investigate Hawaii Port Authoritie. That's your answer!
this is the reason why former president Duterte banned fireworks in his hometown in Davao city Philippines.
Illegal fireworks are banned in Hawaii but people don't obey laws.
@Critique808 they should just ban legal/illegal fireworks completely.
Over here we have a lot of "babies" crying foul bc of "cultural resaons" they have a right to ignite any firework. Yet they are not even of Chinese ancestry. 🤷🏻♀️ go figure.
It's an island! The fireworks are not made in Hawaii. Ban them from coming in! Period.
🤣
If the US is so worried about terrorist attacks, how and where do you buy that many of this class of fireworks on an island?
We should ban you instead
you are from Hawaii ?
Very sad event and I pray that the ones injured, have a speedy recovery and the 3 that lost their lives, may they rest in peace 🕊️
Fireworks is very popular in Hawaii and I can remember as a little kid Hawaii just lit up. But we need to be more careful with family and kids around . My prayers goes out to the families
Wow hope no innocent neighbors got hurt
they should tell the people who are involved...don't hide them...
Look how built up the area is - who in their right mind stashes fireworks in a carport and sets them off in the driveway? Stupid is as stupid does ......
Sadness 🙏 but lessons for everyone
Better not have Go Fund Me. Should have known better.
Waste of money not fun for people with ptsd or even anxiety problems.
I strongly disagree because fireworks is fun (when it done correctly and safely).
Yes I understand, that’s people have PTSD and Anxiety issues. But we shouldn’t stop having fun because theirs people who have those issues. That’s not fair on people who actually enjoy fireworks.
Theres medication thats they can take to have them remain calm under stressful situations.
The world doesn’t evolve around them.
@Sashaa555 meh just keep the crap in the country or in the parks where there is room and away from neighborhoods.
I’ve been traumatized since childhood over having neighbors who party like that
Wow!! So glad you're not my neighbor. World doesn't revolve around the people who risked their lives for this country. A real piece of sh*t you are. Go practice some compassion.... maybe look up what compassion is first. @@Sashaa555
My reply is for sashaa555 not you, I agree with you
If the US is so worried about terrorist attacks, how and where do you buy that many of those kinds of fireworks on an island?
The Best Grand Finale they ever saw in their entire lives? Note to self, colorful drones good, explosives bad. Got it.
To begin with, Why is this type of air pollution allowed to take place anyhow??? Talk about a carbon footprint! What the F is wrong with people. Those people would still be alive if all fireworks displays were illegal, banned all together!
Safety first but people take it too far 😢
Avoid people at all costs.
So very sad. I’m in CA. I used to ❤fireworks. But the illegal fireworks has made me dread the 4th of July. I know young ppl love it. But it’s become scary. I constantly worried about my house catching fire or wildfires, which has happened. New laws with tip lines, drones taking pictures of homes where they are setting off the illegal fireworks & huge fines made it better this past 4th of July. $1,000 -$2,000 fine for first violation, $2,500 for second violation within a year, and $5,000 for third violation plus 5 years in jail.
Check your info. Why is 1 news station saying 4 died while KITV is saying 3 died. Which one is it?
Someone is giving us Misinformation.
It's common when news is "happening right now" to sometimes get inaccurate information. Often in such situations where there are victims in critical condition (where their chance of dying is very high), rumors can swirl around. Always check the most recent information.
@sensen1080 but not couple days later
I’m so pissed at this!!! This is not a celebration. Come on people
Here’s a novel idea….Don’t do it all! Leave it to the professionals! 🤦🏽♀️
I heard the best firework display prevnew years was at the Matson / Pasha docks but funny how the state did nothing about that obvious middle finger to the law. It’s not that that they don’t know where it comes but who is going to have the balls to see how far the money trail goes. If you could spend 10k and get a 100k plus but paying a couple of grand to get the container out and for sale to the public.
So is anyone gonna be held accountable or go to jail over blowing up their block and killing people? This is hawaii, so probably not.
That would be great but the attorney general is useleas
It's sad, however More laws will never stop stupid. Just saying. Kinda in the catagory of gun laws. They don't stop criminals
ban fireworks
What a terrible start for 2025 new york and new orleans.
that incident with a cyber truck. Come on😢
Fireworks are illegal to buy in Columbus, Ohio. So the dealers are located a couple miles outside of the city, a 20 minute drive. Our city expanded the amount of days private citizens can ignite them. Supposedly, major holidays,....and some other seasonal ones. People are supposed to have permits . (HA!).....no one gets those permits.
Was this a fireworks factory or warehouse? lf not, that's way too many fireworks to have in one's possession.
Ignorance is alive and well...
WHO'S GARAGE IS IT?!?!
Smelling that Cosmalin
While sad this happened Law Enforcement should easily find out where the stockpile of firework came from as the household member all knew they had a warehouse of firework. But if law enforcement can't use this to trace how firework is coming in and what firework companies' connection and which State. Then illegal fireworks that is already band will always be here to stay because someone on the top is getting paid to hush up!
None of this would have happened if you politicians passed laws preventing these illegal fireworks from entering the state in the first place, laws against the sales and distribution of these fireworks and laws targeting those responsible for receiving these fireworks from the ports, docks, etc. This isn't new. This has been going on since I was a child growing up here. And please don't insult the public and taxpayers by denying that you politicians do not know how and who is bringing them all into the state. We all know.
It was either intentional, or the people at/in that house are/were VERY stupid. COULD BE BOTH.
The cake was made to be on the ground. All fireworks used incorrectly are dangerous.. it’s just sad that people don’t realize how dangerous.. but as a kid we didn’t have all this illegal fireworks because we had legal fireworks.. its a cultural thing and is safe if used properly.. fact!!!!
These people are not scientists that’s for sure
Nothing will change been like this for decades. The big island is just as bad on the north point of kohala
Why shrapnel, I would not be surprised if this is terrorist involved as well
Grand Finale 😊🎉
Hawaii 5-O will definitely be on this case 🎊
HPD = Hopeless Police Department
Priced out of Paradise??
How about getting to the cause... was this an illegal fireworks seller? or some massive purchase for a block party?... or did someone deliberately throw a match into a pile of fireworks?
Other than that how was your evening?
Aerials are still going off...gotta start enforcing the laws. Its sad. Gotta learn from this.
There should be safe novelty fireworks like fountains, sparklers and red strings available for purchase. The mayor and city council have responsibility for banning these safer options.
They aren’t a necessity to celebrate anything. Sparklers can do damage as well..
@@RC-no3drsparklers causing explosion or casualties????
@ Fires, and burns.
Shouldn't the police chief,mayor and governer be Hawaiian, I stil remember how much green cared for the maui victims
Aloha hugs 🤗 maybe they are distributors.
When nobody. Cares. The. Bosses. Or the officals was. Watching it too
Is that a haiku?
They did something that was illegal?? Weren't there any laws prohibiting it??
Weird.
🤦
It just takes a handful of people to spoil it for everyone!!
😮
USA!
Jme
Haoles 😹
This happened in LA as well ! Always in left wing cities , and states
You are kidding, right?
Left in USA? You're kidding. Left Is China or was the USSR. What u have there is a joke of left. Poor Lenin in his tomb 😅
@@PerseidaMode Yeah, the Left in U.S. is a joke.
@@PerseidaMode stop with the skeleton crap , read a book learn what the LEFT means here in America !
@@ecamp6360 just watch any New Year’s Eve video on a left wing run large city in the U.S. Do your own research ! Not Kidding
