    My city allows fireworks. We are the only city that does in my area so people come from all over the place to set them off.

    At a certain point last night there were so many going off that I started to wonder if I were shoot .40 cal into the ground would anyone be able to hear it. So I did. I went into my backyard (alone) found a safe spot and shot one into the ground. I was correct in my assumption. There is no way anyone could tell. So I got away with it. The point of all of this is if I needed to ever kill my neighbor I would just wait until the 4th.

    Just to add I was sober last night and alone.

    It’s funny to see lemmings not like fireworks. First time the reaction to fireworks has been to cry.

    Well… If the wife doesn’t wake up it might be better to just let her get her much needed rest, as well as enjoy some peace and quiet at long last. Plus the ambulance/coroner visit might not be cheaper than a shovel from home depot.

    Don’t worry if she starts smelling bad after a few days, it’s natural.

    As for the cat, figures. With all the chaos they might as well take advantage of the situation and enact their plan to take over mankind as the dominant species.

    I had to call you using my elbows because I don’t have fingers or thumbs any more

    I really want to call on the dipshits down the street (they’re aiming their bottle rockets down the street instead of up in the air) but they haven’t broken or burnt anything yet. We might get lucky.

    It’s always ‘don’t be a karen and call the cops on illegal fire works’ followed by ‘why the fuck did you not call the cops on the illegal fireworks’ after house fires break out.

    I’d like to remind everyone that fireworks are an explosive. Want to know how dangerous fireworks are? Ask ER staff what kind of injuries they see the most on 4th of July.

    Funny. In Germany we have been discussing banning fireworks for new years for a while now since more and more people realize the mix of alcohol and fireworks is a bad idea and traumatizing pets, war refugees and old people, killing wildlife and poisoning the air for days to come is not worth it so some people can watch something go boom.

      As a German…every year since forever, I ask myself what is so great about this boom boom. Didn’t even wanna do it as a boy. My dad wanted me to want, so HE could do boom boom.

      Now that I’m older I still don’t get it. Except now it even hurts to watch money literally explode while there are people that are hungry or have no shelter or no help at all.

      It’s banned here and people still shot off hundreds of them directly across the street from city hall and the police station. As well as every direction in the distance.

    Can we replace “911” with an Armed Militia?

    Cops don’t do shit, and when shit gets real, they hide until the incident is over.
