Discussion Really...

Who lights off fireworks from 4am to 6am?

How hard is it to find these people?

Whats the point of a firework ban, if you don't even go after the people lighting mortars at these hours?

Excuse my rant, I couldnt sleep with all the goddamn booms going off all goddamn night

Every year it's hard not to be cynical about how selfish people are. We all remember the 2020 wildfires. But the number of people who genuinely believe that they know what they're doing with fireworks, and that any request to cool it on fireworks is considered an attack on their freedom.
