The spokesperson did a great job! Mahalo nui!!!
This avoidable tragedy must be seriously addressed by the Public Safety department of Hawaii! Kudos to all of our brave public servants! Mahalo a thousand times 🙏
Wow goodness!! 😮.. 500 pounds illegal fireworks at the house .. they must be the seller / dealer .. 500 pounds illegal fireworks is not normal
500 pounds is fricken a little bit 😂. Fucking exaggerating at its best
prosecutors may 'take the house'......
Just curious where that came from? Oh wait the docks? We all silly trying to blame civilians when the ports and government officials take white envelopes to look the other way. 😂
It’s normal here in Hawaii. Unfortunately
@@gerryclark7232 not 500 pound of illegal fireworks.. I never seem anyone’s have that much before ..
I have family’s live in Kauai , the fireworks is legal there to purchase its .. they doesn’t have that much of its ..
500 pounds is insane..
Just W O W !!! Who has the kind of extra cash to be spending on fireworks?!?!?!!? Thank you to the first responders and police who helped those injured in this tragedy!! Just a tragic and horrible situation and for those who aren’t cooperating, SHAME!!
should i type a list of professions in HI where your salary is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
It's all about making a Deal to get a reduced sentence, but Manslaughter is Manslaughter, a baby died. NO Soul at all
@02:24 of course they chose not to cooperate thats why I didnt donate to any of those GoFundMe post they plastered throughout the community.
Suckas
Understandable
Majority of those gofundme’s were of family members/friends who were just present at the party that night trying to enjoy time with their Ohana. I know for a fact that most of them had no connection to the purchasing of fireworks and were just there for the celebration. 3 of them work at a hospital and literally just clocked out at 11pm and rushed to be at the party for the 12oclock count down, and 2 of the victims who passed were literally auntehhs that guarenzz didn’t purchase or light ANY fireworks. So to lump them in with the actual people who bought the all those fireworks and talk crap about their situation really takes a special kinda A-hole. I pray to ke akua that your family stays safe. Because with your mindset, karma is for sure coming for you 🙃
@@MBOG808so we are all supposed to have that inside knowledge and blindly donate? I’m definitely not an asshole but I didn’t donate for the same reason. I did not want to support anyone who was responsible for buying those fireworks
@@MBOG808 sound like you got some inside knowledge as to who is smuggling this stuff in. Perhaps you could call crimestoppers and eliminate the problem instead of being a contributor. If you indeed care about your community. 🤔
Thank you HPD.
Damn , hope nothing but the best for them 🙏🏼 condolences 💐 to the Ohana. Journey to recovery ❤️🩹
This is a fine example of what greed does. Also shows how far some people are willing to go. Imagine what 500 pounds of fireworks in a car looks like. Then imagine the crate where much of the fireworks that led to the tragedy. From what a witness stated on the news, hours before it happened there was a delivery to that very house. The witness stated it was a huge box.
By the way, those refusing to cooperate, know they could be facing manslaughter or murder charges.
you guys probably never served in the middle east where vehicles are loaded with IEDs and makes them suicide bombs......just like them Lowriders that mexicanos drive. how LOW the back is......Detectives probably knows or have some video showing that cube van.
@ Agree w/ most of your comment until you mentioned lowriders and Mexicans. Funny thing is those shocks used in lowriders are now used on SUV's to save space in rear passenger area. Also they're a part of Mexican culture.
Prayers 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. Thank you 👏👏👏👏
This is going to turn into a big sting. The suppliers will be caught.
hellz yah, I’ll volunteer to help
@@kailani808 me too......get plenty locals, polys, etc who look down at me "they make bully kine"......
Those who originally sold the illegal fireworks to these people should be charged as criminal accomplices. All fireworks requiring a license that are shipped to Hawaii should have a tracer barcode on the packaging that can be traced back to the original purchaser. Guarantee.
They are properly the ones supplying the fireworks to people
I assume you read the news about the former OCCC guard.....he routed his stash to OCCC.....he got busted.
I wouldn't be surprised if the people responsible have a criminal record or at least borderline one.
Maybe DT should send ICE to places still popping or wait til next year.....they going hit one jackpot!!! Send them BACK permanently, so no need prison overcrowding.
They need to find the person that is selling the fireworks.
Probably left Hawaii by now.
It's probably them
That's crazy that many people died from fireworks. What a mess.
Lt. Deena is so beautiful! With respect. ❤🙏🏽😎
She is beautiful, yes, but also extremely good at her job. She has been running the homicide division for years and has a stellar record.
Unfortunately their kids going grow up to be just like the parents.
Absolutely right! I work hard and retired just like my dad, who showed me how to appreciate, love, and use fireworks responsibly.
You clown
What they doing with 500lbs of explosives
Keeping up with Jones's.
I know people like this who have to have more/bigger then the other guy.
Oh he get one yota? mine going be lifted.
He is lifted? Mine get rims.
His get rims ? Mine get sounds
His get sounds? Mine get DVD player
😂 It never ends
So no one is going to take accountability for this and just point fingers and blame others.
Not cooperating will only make it harder on them. If they smart they start making deals.
@ your right
500 pounds ?? Wow!!
Who's allowing the shipping pass the docker workers. Seem like the police, government turning a blind eye. They all get tight okoles right now hoping their names don't come out during the investigation.
Typical local mentality not helping the police with their investigation.
Where does your loyalty lie, with the criminals who caused this tragedy or those who lost their lives and/or were injured... some of them CHILDREN???
You disgust me..
Shaddap haole
@youngmafi5609 Racist...
Those who hinder the investigation WILL BE PROSECUTED.
Maybe that's you...lol
Local mentality is loco 😜
I knew there was more to this tragedy than just a mishap. Something was off ..
This goes further than fireworks. 5:31 Being an island means there is illegal smuggling operations going on using professional means, airlines or ships. Customs isn't doing their job somewhere either where the transportation means originate (Ships - Jones act) or at arrival, airlines. This means that other things are being smuggled under everyone's noses including drugs and maybe people. What's strange is no one is being charged with manslaughter yet because people died. Maybe the 29 year old who died was the main one. That said, it's time fireworks were banned already. There's no point to them and they are a total waste of money for people who are supposedly struggling.
I doubt its gonna stop or at least a bust........probably just like cocaine, meth, fentanyl......a big $$$$$$$.
It's fireworks? Who allowed the aerials into our state and didn't enforce the fireworks ban?
Who keeps buying them, continuing the demand?
@WarnTwice Let me think🤔 the local residents here in Hawai'i👍 Uh duh.....genius!
@constantineandreu9377 So smart, you completely missed that it was rhetorical. You so, Akamai 🤙 Genius!
@@WarnTwice My bad! "Rhetorical" how fricken stupid of me🤔 Now that I read your comment🙏 See! I told you that you were a genius🤗 ✌
@constantineandreu9377 No worries. Honestly, our community needs to do better holding ourselves accountable. I hate seeing tragedies
The people went to the party knowing illegal fireworks was gonna get popped. That's like blaming the lifeguard for not telling you get sharks in the water and you get bit 😂
what about criminal property damage in the 1st degree?
And arson
And felony stupidity in the first degree?
@@kamuelalee 😆
Sad the families and friends refuse to cooperate to educate a make example of such Tragedy that suffers and taken away precious lives and a culture we look forward to every New Years! Thanks RIP
Until local parents charge their kids substantial rent (or kick them out at 21) the fireworks problem will NEVER go away (money to burn literally) people who live in the real world can't afford FW
They using a public defender? Good luck with public defender.. you better off wasting your moneys hiring a criminal attorney … if you can afford illegal fireworks , you can afford hire a criminal attorney ..
Hi Paul hope you will all weather out that storm safely. Here in Northern California we are to get lots of rain tonight and into the next few days, so nice of you to warn the people about this! thank you Paul!
The reporter called her out. Getting a lawyer so you know your rights = not cooperating
Well, if you’re not answering questions from the police, you’re actually not cooperating w/their investigation. “Not cooperating” is not to be confused w/hindering or obstructing an investigation, which are criminal offenses.
they give hard time cuz they no like be a snitch.......maybe the head T is powerful....
Lawyer up, smart
Domestic terrorism needs to be one of the charges.
Of course they are all friends. They wont rat on each other
They really godda stop these fireworks coming in through the big shipping companies.
3:50 so asking for your right to an attorney is considered not cooperating? just an objective question for a heart wrenching issue
These offenses and investigations are a damn joke!
This police officer is doing her job, but she's always the bearer of bad news.
Only reaching out to ATF is dependent on how much Hawaiian “officials” are involved!
She’s talking about the general population that were there who are not being cooperative, not those responsible, i.e. at the address or registered to the vehicle with the fireworks, they get a lawyer for sure, No? Problem is that the people who died need to be represented but no one wants to touch that, unfortunately keeping that kind of information close will permeate through the community like Tule fog. Let the sun shine on the darkness ffffolks
DLE task force illegal fireworks is a joke. Consists of 2 part time officers.
So. Exercising your 5th Amendment Right is a crime Lieutenant? So, obtaining information in violation of the 5th Amendment is okay and fruits of the poison tree admissible in court then? Let me say, as a law abiding citizen called in to give testimony in a confusing criminal case? I want an attorney! Now! You bet, i ain't talking otherwise. Be Akamai when speaking with police, don't self snitch.
I agree with you to a point, but she is not a prosecutor. If the DA brings up the invocation of the fifth amendment, that would be grounds for a mistrial. Typically, the police (which she is) encourage cooperation from all parties involved. If I was guilty or not, I would always ask for a lawyer before being questioned by police... she doesn't have to make that point, though.
@maryeverett5287 Excellent reply, much appreciated! Mahalo nui. Perfect!
The law is the law even though those in charge of enforcing those laws have done little to ever enforce it. HPD is also part to blame for this situation.
Sure, pass personal responsibility on to others. Makes sense
There is a shortage of inspectors and funding to pay for inspectors. HPD has no authority regarding the ports and shipping. They can arrest people based on crimes committed on the docks.
@@WarnTwice People will break any law that is not enforced. It's common sense. Who's responsible for enforcing our laws? Exactly. Yes, HPD's lack of enforcement of the law does impact people's behavior. It's common sense.
@JonathanKJM So, you're saying people have zero self-control. Even more reason to make an example of these petty criminals. I understand personal responsibility is a hard concept for some.
@@WarnTwice People understand consequences for breaking laws. If HPD didn't enforce speeding or red lights then more people would be speeding and going through red lights. I understand that human nature and common sense logic is a hard concept for people like you 🤣
ATF not going to do anything. Lazy azzzez
HPD, 30 days later we know nothing, and we aren't telling you.
They're not going to reveal to the public what they have. That would be jeopardizing the case. Only thing revealed is what is known.
Investigation is ongoing.
Give them plea deal to find out where they got 500 lbs + of fireworks.
This ia juat "smoke screen to deflect the true issue od who is bringing this in and making big bucks.
Somebody in HPD please teach her how to read. She blunders with reading on EVERY report she ever gives.
It's not just me. They all try to sound more technical than they can read.
That’s why speech class is important in HS. Uh, uh ummm sorry. lol
She has a very demanding and difficult job . Respect not judging her vocabulary is in order !
The damage is already done. They’ve lost mothers, children and friends. What more do you want from them? Instead look into the government for not mandating and abiding by these laws that are already in place. Why are these fireworks continuously coming in year after year?
This would be considered manslaughter anywhere else...
@@espynolove9351 The consumer is also to blame. Accountability is needed to send a message.
That is irrelevant as to whom they lost in the tragedy. They not only broke the law but endangered not just the party attendees but the neighborhood. The fireworks keep coming in because those who import it know that the inspectors of shipments are short on man power.
People gotta be held accountable for their own actions. 5 people died including a child.
So… some of you are blaming law enforcement for this tragedy? 1000% pure stupidity on the people who knowingly,voluntarily,blatantly did multiple acts illegal by law mind you which was the direct cause of this event?
Think about it for a minute ? If there wasn’t this huge cache of illegal fireworks on that property at that specific time do you think this it would’ve happened? I do really feel bad for the people who perished and the ones that are still recovering and their ohana. But come on… if you’re gonna do something stupid. Expect something stupid to happen but no blame anybody else when it does happen.
Hahahaha
HPD
Prosecutors office
Hahahaha
Que?
Izzy
Ban cars!
DEI is alive and well in Hawaii
This woman is evil.
So dark …
You recognize something familiar?
How about all the Drunk driving people? They killed more than 5! Ban all alcohol! Not fireworks!
PEOPLE DIED, WHERE ARE THE MANSLAUGHTER CHARGES? TYPICAL LENIENCY TO LAW BREAKERS MEANS CONTINUE LAW VIOLATIONS. MAKE AN EXAMPLE!!!!
