Shame on Hawaii. Shame, Shame.
A 67-year-old from Poland demonstrated more courage and greater love for his fellow man than the government and residents of Kauai.
For Covid, the whole island was shut down, because “even one death was too many.”
Now people are drowning almost every month, maybe tourists deserve to die?
If the lifeguard had been authorized to stay an extra hour for $20 dollars a life might have been saved. Think of that, $20 dollars to save a life!
Eldo scoffed last week when I suggested a lawsuit might get the attention of the Hawaiian government. What then can be done?
How many more will have to die before more lifeguards are deployed.
In Australia volunteers provide lifeguard services.
Where are the Hawaiian watermen?
I am very sorry that brave man lost his life trying to save others. And I am almost positive that lifeguards make more than $20 an hour.
But as a Hawai’i resident, I have seen some visitors do the most lack of common sense stuff. The ocean is not an amusement park ride. And the ocean in winter is even more dangerous than it is in summer. At some point, one is responsible for their own choices. Every year on Maui, we lose people who turned their back on the ocean on the North Shore, just to get a selfie. Please, visitors, do not underestimate the power of the ocean. Ask a lifeguard or a local if you are unsure. The lifeguards will tell you: “When in doubt, don’t go out.”
