Imperator_Rex on Twitter: "Did the rabidly Democrat State of Hawaii just deliberately set off a false missile alert to embarrass Trump? They keep changing stories
Wow must have been one heck of a scare for those people.
It's scary enough if it's just a storm.
Very sick people doing very sick things.

Hawaiians were thrown into a panic Saturday morning after an emergency alert was sent warning them to "seek immediate shelter" from a ballistic missile threat. But emergency officials took at least 20 minutes to relay it was a false alarm, with the governor's office later clarifying it was caused when someone pushed the wrong button.
The lapse led to an uproar over how such an error — with potentially dangerous consequences — could occur during a time of high international tensions with North Korea.
An alert in all caps was first sent to cellphones across the archipelago shortly after 8 a.m. local time (1 p.m. ET), saying, "Ballistic missile threat inbound to Hawaii. Seek immediate shelter. This is not a drill."
At 8:20 a.m., the state's Emergency Management Agency followed up in a tweet: "NO missile threat to Hawaii." A similar alert was sent to cellphones about 38 minutes after the first.
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, who also tweeted "there is no incoming missile to Hawaii," questioned how the mistake happened and why it took so long before it was corrected, adding that it triggered feelings of terror unnecessarily in a state with more than 1.4 million people.
If that's the case, you think there's some kind of punishment involved?
Imagine, what if there were serious repercussions like heart attack?
There's no reason how it could've happened.
Did you read Conrad's post?
I mean look what he said about Haiti.
My heart goes out to you n your family n Hawaii residents. I send prayers to you all.
And if you think about it this mechanism that needs to be pushed and confirmed yes this should not be a mistake it could have never happened that is the difficult part to understand so now imagine expecting the unexpected and then they will think it's false alarm again.
I mean I'm glad it isn't for real. Still this is wrong.
As for Trump I don't want to think that he's NOT doing what's right.
Guess after nine years being an Apprentice of Dude and all,he is quite adept at it!
Heck,he still blames GWB!
One or all of those Guys are in Deep Doodoo!
One of these three guys will have to take the heat for this:
Will they say why it was done? I doubt it.
This is a State warning system not federal
Maybe they could get some immigrant Haitians, bring more quality people into the mix.
Another stupid question; Will NK really be that stupid to attack the USA? Surely they must realize the consequences. Or are we dealing with a madman here? Sitting out here in Africa, far away from the action, we don't always realize how serious things are.
For once, I wish he'd sympathize to the right people who in this case are the victims of such a selfish act instead of Trump.
He should grow up. You hear that Raphael?
I don't know if we can really count on the fact that their equipment are not capable of reaching the islands.
I would think that being so aggressive like that means he can really hurt us.
Think of how Pearl Harbor had been hit while all our members of the force were drinking thinking there was no war.
Thanks for your input AA.
Korea on the other hand is busy trying to perfect theirs and that is the reason why we are so concerned about its next move.
