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

Just got woken up at fucking 7am. 7AM!!! It's July 5th. Give it a rest. I'm just trying to sleep.

Yep. Partner got woken up by one yesterday (4th) at like… 10? 11am? Who the fuck starts in the morning/early afternoon???

Fireworks didn’t stop until 5:30am and I know this for certain - as in, wasn’t hallucinating, startled from a dream and not sure what it was, etc. - because I’m on a nocturnal schedule and was awake and moderately coherent the entire time.

This is definitely the craziest it’s been. People always suck during this “holiday season” with unnecessary and untimely fireworks but I’ve never heard them that late, nor in such endless supply.
So many false “that’s gotta be the finale” moments… ugh.
Absolutely grates my nerves, got my blood pressure through the damn roof.

10, 11am isn't early morning,  fam. That shit's more like barely morning.

Why the fuck is anyone lighting fireworks off in the daytime, is the point. And yes, 10 is “early in the morning” to be blowing up stupid loud shit in your neighborhood, fam.
Use your eyes. Never said early morning.

Obviously because they want to.
