OMG!
Lucky you weren’t hit with any dynamite shrapnel.
Do you now participate in the revelry by throwing your own dynamite?
I guess that is one way to cull the population. lol
You may have a point about culling the population. I don’t know how many times I saw little children throwing sticks of dynamite in the air. The parents teach them. Maybe it’s like an initiation rite. When you turn 5-years-old it’s time for you to light your own dynamite. Don’t ask your mommy to do it for you. Meanwhile, most of the firecracker deaths and injuries are children too.
