But… that’s illegal!
Nah, they made it legal where I'm at, and now there are fireworks tents out for any holiday.

I really want to call on the dipshits down the street (they're aiming their bottle rockets down the street instead of up in the air) but they haven't broken or burnt anything yet. We might get lucky.

Hot take. Fireworks are stupid and disruptive.
Cops are worse.

It's always 'don't be a karen and call the cops on illegal fire works' followed by 'why the fuck did you not call the cops on the illegal fireworks' after house fires break out.
I'd like to remind everyone that fireworks are an explosive. Want to know how dangerous fireworks are? Ask ER staff what kind of injuries they see the most on 4th of July.

Funny. In Germany we have been discussing banning fireworks for new years for a while now since more and more people realize the mix of alcohol and fireworks is a bad idea and traumatizing pets, war refugees and old people, killing wildlife and poisoning the air for days to come is not worth it so some people can watch something go boom.

Well... If the wife doesn't wake up it might be better to just let her get her much needed rest, as well as enjoy some peace and quiet at long last. Plus the ambulance/coroner visit might not be cheaper than a shovel from home depot.
Don't worry if she starts smelling bad after a few days, it's natural.
As for the cat, figures. With all the chaos they might as well take advantage of the situation and enact their plan to take over mankind as the dominant species.
Cats are the dominant species. Well, actually ants, but cats are a close second.

I'm glad I live somewhere that only has new years fireworks, and almost no air pollution issues

I dont think Peck was arguing that you should call the cops, just saying that fireworks are bad, a factually correct statement.

I think that the cops will just work with ICE.

Fireworks might be beautiful for a moment, but they leave behind a trail of harm.
They pollute the air with toxic chemicals and fine dust, spiking asthma and breathing problems. After events like July 4th or Diwali, air quality drops dangerously — and people with lung issues feel it immediately.
The noise isn’t just loud — it’s traumatizing. Pets panic, birds die, and people with PTSD or autism often suffer in silence.
Tradition isn’t a good excuse when it causes this much damage.
Not all traditions are worth keeping — especially when they hurt the most vulnerable.
