The Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams on Sunday urged residents to not call 911 to report the skyrocketed use of illegal fireworks that have overwhelmed the city as some view them as a form of nonviolent protests. Americans in other cities have been kept up all through the night by the sound of booming fireworks for the past three weeks. New Yorkers, gripped with tension since the arrival of the coronavirus pandemic and volatile clashes over police brutality, has discovered a new way to express their frustrations: setting off scores of booming fireworks into the wee hours of the morning each night.

We have been have the fireworks problem all over Ca. also pets are going crazy we have had so many missing pets in our neighborhood they get so scared they are breaking through gates cats are not being found around their homes!! My poor kitties never go outside HOWEVER they have been hiding under beds every damn night!! I haehad enough of this CRAP!!
That is funny that there’s fireworks happening other places as
me and my daughter were driving through San Jose and Oakland we saw three different places were pretty decent fireworks were going off somewhere near the freeway and we were like OK ? what is everybody celebrating ???
I think this is a new thing I think they only come from China and the three neighborhoods are we saw more about 90% black neighborhoods in San Jose and Oakland -so there you go
Out here in California at least they’re very very very opposed to fireworks because we have such fire danger here was on the East Coast it’s not a factor
When I was living in Brooklyn, one of my many neighbors on my block was a police detective and his three kids. They were very best friends with the kid across the street who was the neighborhood source for illegal fireworks.
Reportedly, when it was getting close to the 4th of july, the kids basement would be absolutely packed with his fireworks inventory. Other kids on the block would joke how one little spark or flame in the wrong place could send his whole house into outer space like a rocket ship.
When the 4th of july rolled around, the police detective would disappear from the neighborhood for the day and evening. I do not know where he went. Presumably he would get his superiors to put him on duty for the 4th of july every year. That way he wouldn’t be a witness to all his neighbors, their kids, and especially his own kids, setting off their illegal fireworks up and down our street.
Those are easy to get. My son drives from Phoenix to Lordsburg NM every year. They have everything a pyro could want. Our illegal fireworks display rivals the legal ones the Indian Casinos put on. The Yuma County Sheriff’s Dept has basically given up on enforcing fireworks laws. I love Arizona!!
BWAHAHA -
CALL A SOCIAL WORKER..NO, A DOG WARDEN..NO A SEWER INSPECTOR..NO...
Fireworks are legal in Georgia all year long. Many different hunting seasons. A CCW state
Come on folks
Maybe in a few months 'some will view' burning down YOUR home as a 'nonviolent protests'...
Criminals and thugs are running the city - it's time to get out before violence skyrockets and property values fall like a lead balloon... This region is dead...
I wonder how well “talking to the young people” will go over. Keeping in mind that they’re chasing each other with fireworks.
That’s the big question. Where are they getting them? Once the kids have them, they will set them off. You need to stop the supply, however it’s getting into the city.
The sum total of black powder in those could do damage...
They’re not M80’s, clearly.
What about quality of life? People that work need to get sleep. Clearly none of these people have jobs. Nor anyone they know.
I think we have a convenient catch-all for about everything.
Wanna mow your lawn at 4 am? Let your kids blast their music in the backyard all hours of the day and night?
Just classify it as a nonviolent protest and all should be good.
While we’re at it, why doesn’t the same apply for those people trying to save their businesses by opening them up? Who don’t want to compromise their breathing by wearing a mask in a store? Etc.? Etc.?
Where did you live in Brooklyn?
“Community response” WTF does that even mean?
