I’m guessing that put a damper on celebrations.

It’s safe to presume someone is still holding his beer ...

The rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in hair.

Gave Proof in the Night

That his ass was alight

Hewett said the artillery shell was "not quite like the professional fireworks like you see," but that it was "powerful enough."

Yea, I'd say so.

When I was a kid of ~ 12 my friendsa and I used to hold roman candles in our hands and shoot them at each other. Then one day I put a RC into a milk bottle and it exploded shooting shards of glass 30 ft. Lucky I wasnt standing near it.

Now I’d call that a real dumbass redneck mistake.....I’ll excuse it cause of the beer and such....but that feller is toast....everyone elst ‘take heed’....don’t try this at your trailer....[home]

Many Darwin moments are preceded by the phrase “hey, watch this”.

[lesko]

I’d sure like to know what happened to this idiot.

Just like another 4th of July in my hometown, drunken rednecks handling explosives

“I’m guessing that put a damper on celebrations.”

Nah! This Obamamerica! They just threw something over the body and continued to party.

[Dumpster Baby]

"had been drinking" and "exploded on his head"

How many times have we heard those phrases used together before? I've lost count, myself.

:^)

Richard Hines apparently had been drinking Saturday night...

Nooooo.....!!

[jakerobins]

I’d be willing to be that his last words were.....”HEY YA’ll WATCH THIS!!”........

Fireworks and Guns are NOT toys....Should respect Guns and Explosives and what they can do....Never point a Gun at something you don’t intend to kill....Never put a firework on something you don’t intend to BLOW UP....Also it’s not a great idea to drink while diong either.....(Difficult to hold a bottle and aim..ya know ;))...LOL

Dumb. RIP.

“Hold my beer.”
