The Hawaii public employee who plunged the state into chaos by accidentally sending out an incoming-missile emergency alert Saturday has been re-assigned, according to reports. The unnamed emergency-department worker will not be fired because he made an honest mistake, said Hawaii Emergency Management Agency spokesman Richard Rapoza to the Washington Post.
“Part of the problem was it was too easy — for anyone — to make such a big mistake,” Rapoza said. “We have to make sure that we’re not looking for retribution, but we should be fixing the problems in the system. … I know that it’s a very, very difficult situation for him.”
The agency has already put in place new safeguards to prevent such a misfire — including a “cancel” button that will immediately send out corrective alerts when an erroneous warning is issued, officials said Sunday.

Anybody wonder [time for a grassy knoll theory] that in as blue a state in Hawaii, this might have been intended to force Trump from his bellicosity towards Fat Boy?
It's not whether the glass is half full, or half empty. It's who's buying the drinks...
Why, yes, PzLdr, that is pretty much what I have been thinking.

Gabbard is being used as the Democrat stalking horse because she's from Hawaii, is very attractive, is reliably Left, and has military experience.
I felt from the beginning this was a Machiavellian plot to embarrass the President. Yes, I distrust Liberals that much.
The favorite tool in the main stream media's (MSM) tool bag is the overt suppression of good news favoring conservatives or Republicans. Following closely behind is their suppression of bad news about Democrats.
Why did it take 38 minutes for Hawaiian authorities to cancel the bogus alert?
ZitatIt took us that time to get the correct button, the correct message saying this is a false alarm, there is no missile in bound," said Miyagi [Vern Miyago of the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency.].
While I can readily accept such incompetence of the part of Democrat officials, I also can just as readily believe this is total bs.
