Video has emerged showing a large group of people causing a late-night disturbance in Brooklyn by shooting dozens of fireworks into the sky, amid a citywide crackdown on the illegal explosives. Witness Christopher Maslanka was driving through Crown Heights on June 16 when a 'mob of 50 to 60 people' emerged and began setting fireworks alight in the middle of the road. Maslanka captured the incident on video which showed the crowd marching down the street while firing off multiple Roman candles into the air in an elaborate display lasting about two minutes long.

Who remembers when liberals were complaining about fireworks scaring their fur babies?

NYC is a tinder box because of its density. If a fire ever got out of control, it could do Biblical-level damage.

This is one area where having an incompetent like de Blasio at the helm is truly dangerous.

These leftists are getting people used to the sound of explosions and gunshot-like noise.

How does this work now in liberal enclaves? Cops show up, take a knee while someone sings the Star Spangled Banner, listen patiently while someone makes a speech, then get back in their cars and leave while everyone goes to the afterparty and Target looting?

Lack of law enforcement in cities is nothing new; for years residents have been riding around on dirtbikes and unregistered motorized bicycles (like Third World cities). Unlicensed clubs and gambling places are nothing new either.

On the flip side I remember years ago Chinatown in NYC had to play recordings of fireworks because the city had clamped down so strongly.

DeBlasio will have to crack down on the Hassidim again to show NYers who is BOSS.

The local governments won’t do a thing about the rioters but watch how they come down on Harry Homeowner when he and his kids light up their sparklers on the fourth of July.

Good thing the cops have time on their hands amid societal breakdown, murders, robbery, beatings, statue destruction etc. to go after illegal "explosives".

The police barely had a lid on these animals to begin with.

Now the police are cowed and the lid is off.

I read somewhere there is a big surplus of fireworks due to covid cancellations, so Antifa is buying them up cheap and distributing fireworks to inner city animals.

Expect more of this since de blabio won’t do what needs to be done to the protesters.
