Had some family in Alhambra shoot fireworks into my apartment like it’s a battlefield. Then next thing you know they end up shooting a firework into a tree and it caught fire. Thankfully no one got hurt. But it just shows this year no one wanted to be safe instead they wanted to cause chaos. Chilling thought
So many fireworks in my area but zero enforcement. Are the cops sleeping in their cars?

Honestly with climate change, and it being cloudy randomly you can't clearly see most fireworks. They also cause air pollution. And it severely scares animals. I think we need to slowly move towards banning fireworks. Like if you are found to sell them mandatory 1 year in jail and a heavy fine. We need to move towards drone celebrations. Like make half the fireworks shows drone shows. Then slowly year by year less and less fireworks until drones are the default. We can also prevent a lot of fires/injuries.
Wait are they legal in California? I was amazed at the home fireworks when we are in the middle of a heatwave and no rain.
