A 29-year-old Hawaii mom of two drowned after she fell off a cliff into
the ocean in front of her horrified boyfriend — who now blames first responders for not having the right equipment to save her from being swept out to sea.

Kalaiokealaula Ashley Nicole Reyes Kanekoa was watching the waves with her boyfriend, Dylan Gopp, 31, at about 2 a.m. Saturday on a cliff near
Hawaiian Paradise Island Park when she fell, Hawaii News Now reported.

Her boyfriend told the outlet she survived the plunge but when first responders arrived, they did not have the necessary equipment with them.

He managed to get a flotation device to her but then emergency officials
had no equipment to pull her back to the shore..

Even the almighty State cannot always have the equipment
to perfectly handle EVERY situation EVERYwhere EVERYtime.

People tend to seek "remote places" in Hawaii - which just
exacerbates the situation. It's kind of like the people
who climb Mt. Hood ... weather/wind and often very precarious
locations sometimes make quick rescue impossible. Basically,
go out into the wild and you have to assume you're ON YOUR
OWN - rescue MIGHT be had, or NOT.

They didn't say exactly WHY she was dead, apparently having
got into a little raft kinda early on. Hypothermia ? Blunt
force trauma ? Too much dope ?

Oh, and did "defund" logic also cut into the rescue-force
budget ?

Well, let's form a plan ... entitled little WokieSocialists
aren't allowed to leave the city limits from now on :-)
