Please do not buy fireworks, the drama and pain is too real and close to my heart 1

Fireworks kill people, horses, and other animals, and cause unfathomable damage by inebriated and sober people alike.
Plus, fireworks hurt the environment and aid child labor in China. Are you a communist terrorist? Then buy fireworks.
The tradition NEEDS TO END.
Let me tell a story.
This story happened in 2012, it was at the first campground that I started living at when I committed to my low energy, professional camper no glamper lifestyle. I was living at this decent campground and it was the 4th of July weekend.
Long story short, I saw some guy climb up on the kids playground to launch mortars by hand. I knew for a fact he was drinking Absolut vodka. The first. BOOM, lots of cheers from like 70 most likely drunk people, the second, BOOM, colors and cheers.
The third boom went wrong. He went up to check on it and it exploded in his hand. All I saw was like a flash of pink mist, and then I heard screams, both from the crowd and this man. As I ran up he stood there, hand missing, pure light red blood( the kind you know when you hit an artery) was flowing out of what looked like a hand put through a meat grinder.
The blood poured out so fast and his daughter ran up everyone was so afraid she had a towel and put him in a car and rushed him to the hospital. If she had not done this he would have bled out to death.
As the blood trickled down, and over the playground where all the kids played it was like that nickelodeon show where they used to "slime " people. He barely survived by seconds.
Anyways, I found out later his daughter was sober and she is still traumatized badly by that event.
STOP BUYING FIREWORKS.- It aids in death of both people and animals, and is BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.

I don't like fireworks cuz booms not good for PTSD but in general I just say be safe and follow precautions.
Do not ever fire by hand and don't check up on them if they fail to go off in a few minutes.
And sparklers are cool but it's still super hot metal sparking. Don't hand that to your 6 yo.

Yes and thank you.
I recently watched the movie " da 5 bloods" on netflivks and when the Vietnamese kid they gave a $20 to threw fireworks at them and they all hit the ground I cringed. It was a pretty real testimony to PTSD.
Thank you for your kindness and understanding.

Stop buying fireworks? Fuck you, sir. Ban stupid people and alcohol before you ban fireworks 
Edit: not trying to be a dick. I'm just passionate about fireworks it's one of the few reasons I live

The big thing is environmentally friendly fireworks in professional displays. Its art just with fireworks. Of course it might scare ur dog or whatever so its important to let them know stuff is ok and to simmer down. I certainly wouldn't recommend buying boot leg fireworks from some Chinese child labor sweatshop. There's always going to be some idiot kid who decides they want to be a trickster and shove a firecracker up a cats ass. Probably same people now running around spray painting my cities with anarchist graffiti. But I guess I'm the asshole for trying to celebrate with my family.

A lot of people on Facebook are begging people not to keep doing fireworks because it wakes up their young children at night and puts the dogs, horses and other pets under extreme stress.

I think that is not the real issue here.
The real issue is fire, PTSD, and danger to self and others.
And most people don't even know why they are lighting a sparkler.

Yah people have been pushing for environmentally friendly fireworks for years but nobody seems to give a shit or want to spend the money. But I mean hey people think its OK to just waste resources and burn down cities and what not so who cares about pushing for anykind of legislation or regulation of anything the whole things racist anyway

There will be people who protest the 4th of July.
Most of the people who signed the Declaration Of Independence were hunted down, tortured and killed by the British.

I do it for no other reason than because I think it is pretty.

I toyed with the idea of getting into fireworks professionally. I love the smell of gunpowder in the morning, it smells like victory..

That’s actually a valid concern. You can’t be blowing up mortar rounds unannounced outside a vet’s window at midnight...

I like the smell. And gasoline. But I can't imagine I would if I had seen someone lit on fire and burn to death.
That smell would probably forever trigger a reminder of the smell of burningf human flesh.
