They are saying he is so damn stupid he did not know any better. I bet he is a Obama and Hillary supporter.
After Hawaii emergency officials confirmed that an alert about an inbound ballistic missile was a mistake, they said the employee who pushed the wrong button feels awful about the panic-inducing incident.
Vern Miyagi, who oversees the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency (EMA), said at a news conference late Saturday that the civil defense employee who pushed the wrong button regrets what took place.
An emergency alert of Hawaii’s Emergency Management Agency, which was sent to the islands early Saturday morning, read: “BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.”
“This guy feels bad, right. He’s not doing this on purpose – it was a mistake on his part and he feels terrible about it,” said Miyagi in a press conference Saturday afternoon.
Miyagi, a retired Army major general, said the employee would be “counseled and drilled so this never happens again,” but he did not say whether there would be disciplinary measures.
Rather than triggering a test of the system, it went into actual event mode. He confirmed that to trigger the alert, there is a two-step process involving only one employee — who both triggers the alarm, then also confirms it.
“There is a screen that says, ‘Are you sure you want to do this?'” Miyagi said. The employee confirmed the alert, inadvertently causing a panic in a state already on edge over saber-rattling missile threats from North Korea.
Hawaii Gov. David Ige said in a statement Sunday that the false alert was “an unfortunate situation that has never happened before and will never happen again.”
“On behalf of the State of Hawai’i, I deeply apologize for this false alert that created stress, anxiety and fear of a crisis in our residents and guests,” Ige said.
At about 8:07 a.m. local time, Hawaii citizens received an emergency alert on their phone that read: “BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.”
At 8:20 a.m. local time, Hawaii EMA tweeted that there was “NO missile threat” to the state. However, the tweet didn’t reach people who aren’t on the social media platform.
Around the same time, House Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, tweeted: “HAWAII – THIS IS A FALSE ALARM. THERE IS NO INCOMING MISSILE TO HAWAII. I HAVE CONFIRMED WITH OFFICIALS THERE IS NO INCOMING MISSILE.”
Roughly 15 minutes later, the U.S. Pacific Command issued a statement, clarifying there was “no ballistic missile threat to Hawaii.”
It wasn’t until 38 minutes after the first warning — at 8:45 a.m. — that Hawaii’s EMA alerted mobile devices across the islands that that initial alert was a false alarm.
“If it was a mistake and someone pushed a button they shouldn’t have pushed, then why the 38 minute delay?” asked Rep. Colleen Hanabusa, D-Hawaii, in an interview with Fox News. “The next question is, why don’t we have a better fail-safe?”
Hanabusa, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, vowed she would hold Capitol Hill hearings about the incident.
“The real issue that I think we as a state now has to deal with is how do you build back public confidence and public trust?” Hanabusa said. “So the first thing we’ve got to do is explain to people how it happened … and why we were unable to correct it.”
At the news conference late Saturday, Miyagi said that there will now be a two-person rule implemented for sending test alerts and actual alerts. He also offered an apology for the stresses resulting from the false alarm.
“I deeply apologize for the trouble and the heartbreak that we caused today,” Miyagi said, taking responsibility for the incident as he called it a result of human error. “We made a mistake.”
He added that EMA will “hold off” on future tests of the system “until we get this squared away.”

Gov. Ige said Saturday is “a day that most of us will never forget,” a day Hawaii residents thought “our worst nightmare might be happening.”
“I know firsthand that was happened today was totally unacceptable and many in our community was deeply affected by this,” Ige said. “And I’m sorry for that pain and confusion that anyone might’ve experienced.”
Hawaii House Speaker Scott Saiki said the system state residents have been told to rely on failed miserably on Saturday.
“Clearly, government agencies are not prepared and lack the capacity to deal with emergency situations,” Saiki said. He also noted that the State House would begin an immediate investigation.
I find it so damn funny that slave negro’s like Lebron James is pretending to be outraged over the h & M Hoodie that says “coolest monkey in the jungle”. Now the mother of the young man who’s name is Liam Mango and his mother who’s name is Terry Mango said this is people “crying wolf”. I did a video and you can check that out at https://commonsensenation.net/videos/ .
Why is it that black people are not so damn upset about what is happening in Chicago, Baltimore, Houston, and every other inner city in America. Also they have video of dumbasses getting upset in South Africa, going in stores and destroying property. Lets look at this report from South Africa and tell me why the blacks in South Africa and America are not upset about the crime in South Africa.
(1) “Every eight hours, a woman is killed by an intimate partner, according to the SA Medical Research Council.
One in five (21%) of women in a relationship have experienced physical violence by a partner, Stats SA said in its South Africa Demographic and Health Survey 2016 released in May.
Last week NPA Western Cape spokesperson said: “From January up to today, there have been 19 children that have been killed in the Western Cape. Twelve of those cases will go to the high court.”
Here is a list of just 20 of these countrywide murders. Five of them were children. Two of the women were pregnant. Many more cases will go unreported:”
All the damn crime that happens every day in most every inner city and Slaves like Lebron James and the jackasses from the Hip Hop Community does not do one damn thing to speak against it. You are safer in Afghanistan than in Chicago or most inner cities. Why don’t Black Lives Matter, Colin Kaepernick, The NFL idiots, The Media, and All Of Media Elites help stop black on black crime. This is nothing but a bunch of fake outrage from race baiting morons who want to seem “aware” and relevant. This is just as insane as the whole so-called President Trump calling some countries like Haiti, and El Salvador shitholes. I don’t know if Trump called these countries shitholes are not but the truth of the matter is they are shitholes.
If I call dog shit shit does not make me hate dogs? No it does not and if the mother and father of the young man is not racist. Why in the hell are all of these Social Justice Warrior pretending to be outraged?
Grow Up You Loser Bastard . Put the SOB in front of a firing squad. I bet he loves Bernie Sanders.
A 28-year-old man has been arrested in Northern California on suspicion of fatally shooting his mother, whom authorities said he blamed for breaking his video-game headset.
Matthew Nicholson of Ceres – a town about 96 miles east of San Francisco – was arrested Thursday night on suspicion of murder, the Modesto Bee reported.
Police responded to a call just before 10 p.m. that a woman had been allegedly shot inside a home.
Officers found Nicholson’s 68-year-old mother, Lydia Nicholson, inside with a head wound. She was rushed to a hospital, where she later died of her injuries.

According to a police report, Lydia Nicholson went to check on her son in his bedroom after he became upset while playing video games and began shouting.
Police say Nicholson argued with his mother, broke his video game headset, then blamed her.
He then allegedly grabbed a gun, fired two shots into a wall, then shot his mother before his 81-year-old father wrestled away the weapon.
Nicholson drove off to a relative’s home but was stopped in the town of Riverbank, just north of Ceres.
Nicholson was being held in Stanislaus County Jail with no bond. It was unclear whether he has an attorney.
I hope President Trump understands you can’t negotiate with the devil and win.
“DACA is probably dead because the Democrats don’t really want it,” Trump wrote on Twitter on Sunday.
He suggested that Democrats were preparing a government shutdown over the issue after they leaked details of a private conversation with them to the media.
“They just want to talk and take desperately needed money away from our Military,” Trump wrote.
On Saturday, he said it was “too bad” that Democrats were not serious about reaching a DACA deal.
“I don’t believe the Democrats really want to see a deal on DACA,” he said. “They are all talk and no action. This is the time but, day by day, they are blowing the one great opportunity they have. Too bad!”
Trump urged a return to a merit-based system of immigration.
“I, as President, want people coming into our Country who are going to help us become strong and great again, people coming in through a system based on MERIT,” he wrote. “No more Lotteries! AMERICA FIRST.”
I, as President, want people coming into our Country who are going to help us become strong and great again, people coming in through a system based on MERIT. No more Lotteries! #AMERICA FIRST
I don’t believe the Democrats really want to see a deal on DACA. They are all talk and no action. This is the time but, day by day, they are blowing the one great opportunity they have. Too bad!
Sadly, Democrats want to stop paying our troops and government workers in order to give a sweetheart deal, not a fair deal, for DACA. Take care of our Military, and our Country, FIRST!
This dumb ass loves dictators all around the world.
“We will find unity only when we recognize that in our current president we have elected… an enemy of compassion” Penn says in op-ed for Time
In a blistering op-ed for Time on Friday, Sean Penn called president Donald Trump “an enemy of mankind” and “an enemy of the state” over his reported remarks about “shithole countries.”
On Thursday, the Washington Post reported that President Trump asked, during a meeting with lawmakers, “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” referring to Haiti and African nations. Trump later said he used “tough” language but denied using that phrase.
In the essay marking the eight-year anniversary of the devastating 2010 Haiti earthquake, Penn talked about his experiences as a volunteering in Haiti.
“While Haitian immigrants typically arrive in the United States with lower levels of education and income than the general population, they sacrifice as parents to scrap and save and to ensure that their children can make the most of the opportunity to be here,” he wrote. “They contribute. And there is no disputing the value they add to American society.”
Penn said Trump’s reported comments were “far worse than mere insensitivity or even nationalism. Those standards are not disgraceful enough.”
“We will find unity,” Penn concluded, “only when we recognize that in our current president we have elected, perhaps for the first time in our history, an enemy of compassion. Indeed, we can be unified not only with each other but with Africa, El Salvador, Haiti, Mexico, the Middle East and beyond if we recognize President Donald Trump is an enemy of Americans, Republicans, Democrats, Independents and every new child born. An enemy of mankind. He is indeed an enemy of the state.”
Democratic Rep. Al Green of Texas promised to bring his articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump for a vote on the House floor next week.
Green said that his effort to impeach the president will put him on the “right side of history.
The Texas congressman, along with five other House Democrats, introduced articles of impeachment against the president in November. Green brought forth articles of impeachment on the House floor in early December, but it failed in a decidedly. House lawmakers effectively killed Green’s effort, voting 364-58 to sideline the measure.
The congressmen listed a number of charges against the president in their December articles, including: obstruction of justice, a violation of the Constitution’s foreign emoluments clause, a violation of the Constitution’s domestic emoluments clause, undermining the federal judiciary process and undermining the press.
The articles primarily focused on Trump’s handing of the termination of former FBI Director James Comey, and potential conflicts of interest with Trump’s businesses and properties while he’s served as president.
