Looks like a LOT of fingers being flipped at authorities right here! Good for them!
There are no illegal fireworks.
Just undocumented fireworks.
Looks like a lot of those $1200 checks went to fireworks sellers this year
I live out in the cornfields of Flyover, USA and can see the fireworks from different towns from my back yard
In the 12 years I’ve lived here, I’ve NEVER seen and heard so many going off as I did last night
They’re really gonna be shell-shocked when the real stuff starts, and they’re going to deserve Everything they get.
I went for a walk last night and it was rockin’
At least triple the amount of “illegal” commercial grade mortars going off all around me. People in my New Mexico ‘hood were having none of Queen Covid’s BS. It was glorious!
Surprised they didn’t fly real low so they could make an “incident” between the aircraft and fireworks.
Don’t get excited.
This Twitter post is a classic example of not getting the memo. The fireworks story is a month old. Fireworks have been going off like never before in cities across the US since May. The left has been claiming for weeks, in dozens of articles, that it is a protest against the killing of George Floyd. It’s been all over my local Next Door site, too, including republished articles by navel-gazing Wokesters claiming that fireworks in Boston and Brooklyn are a big protest message.
Now, the day AFTER July 4, I see two posts on FR claiming that the fireworks LAST NIGHT, and ONLY last night (been asleep since Memorial Day much?) are some great conservative cry of defiance.
I don’t buy either theory. We’ve had fireworks going off here since Memorial day. In my neighborhood, it’s all minorities doing it, as is the case every year, because that’s who lives here. They vote Democrat if they vote at all, but aren’t rabidly political. The police do nothing and everyone knows it. The idea that anyone is defying a potential $50,000 fine is idiot-grade goofy. The laws exist only on paper.
I think it’s just because people have nothing else to do.
My next door neighbor must have spent a grand on fireworks, they went on for what seemed like hours, the big ones.
I just perused DU and they HATE fireworks over there.
Someone called the cops on their neighbor for shooting them off and they were all high fiviing her and complaining about the fireworks in their own neighborhood.
Of course, patriotism to dems is like sunlight to a vampire.
Undocumented fireworks were going off all over Ventura County CA last night.
Very busy and fun.
And then there’s this.....
Twice on July Fourth, police declare riot in downtown Portland
https://www.oregonlive.com/news/2020/07/black-lives-matter-protests-taking-place-in-portland-salem-on-the-fourth-of-july.html
Can’t declare a riot any other time, but if it happens on the Fourth, it’s a riot for sure.
Gotta squash those patriots exercising their Constitutional rights.
On Alabama we loves us some pyrotechnics...
I still don’t understand why fireworks were deemed taboo. There’s extreme social distancing.
Just another way to destroy celebrating America.
Here in NE Florida, in our neighborhood, the fireworks started at about 7:00pm (pretty much just noise makers including some big ones). By sundown there were real fireworks going on 360 degrees around the neighborhood continuously until about 11:00pm! Big expensive stuff. Beautiful enough for Independence Day! I had to look around to make sure i wasn’t at Disney World. It was American and it was magnificent
Listen to those Karens (the anchorettes) tsk tsking the display, pointing out that they’re illegal and carry a $50,000 fine.
We walked 2 miles last night at 10:30. It was a total ruckus. Large families and groups were everywhere shooting off big ones.
I told my family this is the sound of voters stating their intentions.
The “civilian” fireworks this year were spectacular because so many municipalities canceled their shows so the manufacturers sold the professional grade stuff to whomever would buy them. Word spread quickly and patriots loaded up.
