Baby locked up at Honolulu airport dies

Luaipou Futi and a nurse banged on a locked door at Honolulu International Airport Friday morning and begged for medical help for Futi's 14-day-old son, who had flown here from American Samoa for heart surgery and was becoming distressed in the warm room

Oh sweet god... *cries*

My reaction too.

I hope to God that some people go to jail for a long, long time for this.

When discussing the possibility/probability and/or improbability of anyone even getting written up over this incident, much less being fired, filkerdave said over in supergee's journal:
I want them to fly Michael Futi's body back to American Samoa, holding him in their lap the entire flight. I want them to have to walk to the cemetery, dig the fucking grave with their bare hands and bury him.

After they swim back to Honolulu, THEN they get fired.

Firing doesn't seem like enough. Jail doesn't seem like enough. But then, nothing really seems like enough in the face of this.

There are no words for how horrible that is..

[hummingwolf]

Yeah.

[paradigm_palace]

Jaw-dropped and speechless, right now.

[hummingwolf]

Yeah. It hurts to think about, but I keep thinking about it.

Actually, aside from how undeniably terrible that is, I think it says something scary about our border security if they can't read well enough to see that she goddamn had already been cleared to enter the country.

[hummingwolf]

Yep. But just think: thanks to the vigilance of airport security, we will now be forever protected from a two-week old American citizen with heart problems. Gosh, I feel so much safer now.
