Haven’t seen the official explanation posted yet, just preliminary stories.
I'm sure the official explanation will be some variation of this line from the article: "Staples and his friends had been drinking..."
There is video of this somewhere, I bet.
His mamma whining about needing more fireworks regulations and training. She should have beat the stupid out of him instead. If we people were any smarter the Darwin Award would go out of business.
Well, at least he saw fireworks, if only for a moment.
I do believe he will recieve a full Darwin award as I have not seen any references to leaving behind children. Although there could be some he did not know about.
