I have a 4 month old and the wh*te tr*sh dickheads in my town were setting off fireworks until 1:30 AM last night. They're "illegal" here but no pigs will ever enforce that law.

I've got fond memories of large municipal displays (though I hear they're hard on pets?). But random schmucks with explosives - the norm of my youth, we'd barricade our block of houses, have a potluck and people would set off fireworks in the street all evening - are not a good idea.

Sent as my neighbors up the street randomly shoot off fireworks while I'm trying to get my dog to just pee before bed.

I don’t understand why we haven’t stopped doing this and started doing drone shows instead. When I was a kid someone was killed during our town’s fireworks show. They stopped doing them for awhile, but it didn’t last long.

I witnessed a fireworks accident a few years ago that fired a mortar through a cluster of people watching, narrowly missing one spectator as it screamed past at face-height. Fortunately, it was a near miss instead of a fatality, but it immediately cured me of any interest in fireworks.

Keep them to professional shows if you must. But there is no reason for skyburst fireworks in a residential zone ever, least of all a week or more before whatever holiday you're pretending to celebrate. This and leafblowers are the two things I'm slowly morphing into my boomer dad about.

It’s honestly impressive how many downsides they have. They cause injury, fire, noise, air, and light pollution, and trauma to pets, wildlife, and people with PTSD. Like yes they’re pretty, but there are a lot of other pretty things we can celebrate with.

Been a fucking war zone here for some 10 days. Fire danger is EXTREME, there's already one "wildfire" burning nearby, merely 9% contained, yet the sales of fireworks are not banned (bad for business) and the local yokels have been "celebrating" like crazy. Animals are freaking out. I HATE THAT.

They give my spouse seizures. And for almost a decade, we had neighbors who, knowing about the seizures, set them off every year anyway. Every holiday, she had to stay in the basement in the dark because of them. Fuck fireworks.

Professional fireworks are fine. Semi-licit firecrackers of questionable manufacture being fired off by aging frat bros in neighborhoods full of dogs and sleeping babies, though? JAIL.
