James "Kimo" Rosen is a retired professional photographer and amongst other things is a satirist. Rosen is a resident of Kapa'a Kauai and photographs the sunrise as a daily ritual, hobby, and love.    Sunrise/Weather Photos, January, 2025 These photos appeared on Hawaii News Now Blog #2113~Kimo's world #359 New Year's Eve fireworks tragedy |
There are many innocent victims in the New Year's Eve fireworks tragedy on Oahu. People who lived across the street, next door, two and three houses away had windows blown out and shattered, they did nothing, and their children did nothing. Nothing on the news has been mentioned of all the pets who suffered like wounded soldiers with PTSD.
Fireworks should be enjoyed in a controlled environment detonated by professionals, not in neighborhoods where people and pets live like sardines in overcrowded conditions.
People are afraid to rat on their neighbors for fear of retaliation if the neighbor finds out who filed the complaint. They say calls are confidential but the coconut wireless works in mysterious ways.
Also, the cops don’t like to issue tickets or follow through on these complaints because many are part of this pyrotechnics culture and many officers are friends or related to those detonating the fireworks.
With all said, we all know something has to be done, but next year, the year after that, and the following years, nothing will be done.
How much longer can we tolerate the "Good ole boys" in our local government?
