PSA for those in America

Cops are worse.
Depends on the country

Cops are worse.
I dont think Peck was arguing that you should call the cops, just saying that fireworks are bad, a factually correct statement.
-
When you see ICE about to kidnap someone - YES
I think that the cops will just work with ICE.

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.
what kind of injuries they see the most on 4th of July.
The explosive kind?

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. -

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.
As a German...every year since forever, I ask myself what is so great about this boom boom. Didn't even wanna do it as a boy. My dad wanted me to want, so HE could do boom boom.
Now that I'm older I still don't get it. Except now it even hurts to watch money literally explode while there are people that are hungry or have no shelter or no help at all.

Who cares he's right. I haven't met a single person who likes fireworks who isn't dumb. I have pets and i started to hate loud noises. I personally consider fireworks one of the worst things. And if you have someone who likes this trap them in a room without foo til they change their mind...

My city allows fireworks. We are the only city that does in my area so people come from all over the place to set them off.
At a certain point last night there were so many going off that I started to wonder if I were shoot .40 cal into the ground would anyone be able to hear it. So I did. I went into my backyard (alone) found a safe spot and shot one into the ground. I was correct in my assumption. There is no way anyone could tell. So I got away with it. The point of all of this is if I needed to ever kill my neighbor I would just wait until the 4th.
Just to add I was sober last night and alone.

So what you're saying is, it's basically the purge except just for gun crime

Ive never met anyone who defends fireworks who isn't a dumb piece of shit.
Even the people who love them think they need to be replaced with something that causes less issues. -

Heh. Opposite to everyone here, I am pro-fireworks.
Once a year.
Bird deaths are sad thing but if it's a planned thing once a year, people can shelter their pets and folk who are vulnerable can simply prepare. No harm done, honestly.
But oh my god do I want to murder wankers who proceed to shoot fireworks, often just under peoples windows, for weeks after that. Dear god am I feeling hateful for that.
And yeah, about why I like fireworks - they are pretty, feel amazing, are special occasion and overall, are fun. And yes, that's literally blowing money into the air so I don't do that much, but I still love them.
Edit: Oh, and when done en-masse, there's something magical to them. Even awe inspiring.

Are you implying that people and animals should rather die?

It is. Yes. Doesn't change the message.
