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.

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.

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.

I mean I've seen some scary accidents with gasoline but not that kinda trauma.
Just a further point of how PTSD associations work. And why fireworks are a big deal to combat vets. They trigger those types of instinctive associations.

a couple years ago me and the gf went out to watch the fireworks the city puts on, we found a bench a little ways off on the edge of some brush, it was dark and something came springing out of the brush, it was a small dog, so I grabbed it, now im holding this spooked dog and dont know what to do, we dont drive or even have a phone, we start walking back towards her place and there is a guy looking for his dog, me and him were both relieved , him that he found his dog, me that I didnt have to figure out what to do with this dog, but why would you bring an animal to watch fireworks, much less let it off a leash

I remember reading about a guy in maine who shot a mortar off from his head killing himself in front of whole family.
What is weird is rockets down to bottle rockets and m80s are not allowed but mortar is a okay.
Mortar can only safely be used at least 100 feet away from people, mortar secured on level ground with a cinder block, insert shell carefully, light wick and run. Duds get bucket of water or hose. Mortar allowed to cool in between shots to prevent early ignition.
Seriously cool but as dangerous as a high caliber firearm.
Interestingly the boston marathon bombers purchased mortar shells but found the small charge inadequate. Pretty sure this is why they went from rockets to mortars.
P.s. i have fired report shells from a shotgun, basically went out a distance and made a loud bang.

Actually how about don't hold explosives in your hands whilst attempting to set them off? This usually tends to be 99.9999% of the cause of people blowing their hands off with fireworks.
There's a lot of "personal" fault there in that original story. There's a lot of responsibility to be taken when you are dealing with such devices as well.
With any explosive display there are inherent risks, however a professional setup tends to be extremely safe for crowds (as they are not interacting with the devices and are usually not allowed within a certain radius of the display).

Interesting story but naa its not "buying fireworks" fault that he did exactly what you should not do and went back up to an un-exploded firework. Lit every fireworks box on the planet has a warning not to do this.
Its a bit like saying don't buy a car cuz I saw someone get drunk and drive into a tree. yeah. That guy was an idiot and if he didn't do that then it would of been something else similarly stupid.
I had a friend who tried to build an explosive by hammering the metal pipe shut back in the 80's and blew himself up. He lived with minor injuries luckily but some people just always learn the hard route through sheer hubris and ego.
TBH he lived then that was his big wake up call and every day alive is a blessing now. I bet he doesn't suffer from any depression lol.

Asante said: I absolutely love lighting fireworks, its a spiritual experience for me. I make a wish on every one I light.
Now, they want to ban it. They even went so far as to ban firecrackers and bottle rockets.
I am EXTREMELY dismayed by this.
Ever since early childhood I enjoyed lighting em, and I will continue to light them after the ban 
They want to replace it with fireworls shows.
THAT IS THE SAME AS REPLACING HAVING ACTUAL SEX WITH WATCHING A PORN VIDEO 
They are fucking it up for the children and they are fucking it up for the many adults who grew up with fireworks and just love them to bits!
I advocate a total ban on alcohol just to fuck with these fuckers who want to spoil all fun fpor others. Dont really want that but fuck.
Listen up, listen up.
Smokers are turned into pariahs. Cat owners are told to not let cats outside. They are going to prohibit fireworks.
They are destroying all liberties and instead of allowing each other more freedom the people themselves choke each other into complete silence.
I want my fireworks dammit 
Beautiful post, and yes, I agree.
Nothing is compared to lighting the fuse on a big boom.
I mean there are side-step comparisons like drugs, sex, etc, but I've always been a fire man.
But I also love horses, my hands, and living in a land without wildfires.
So I will make this ONE SIMPLE SACRIFICE to avoid such tragedies,
and just sit from a distance as the main firework shows happen.
And then secretly evaporate my own urine to make homemade blackpowder with the other 2 ingredients like the Chinese did .
JK Black powder is easy to come by around here at the store. But that stuff is SO FUN.
But once again I will make a sacrifice for my own pleasure to avoid much larger negatives.
At least if you're making your own fireworks that is different. But buying up Chinese made stuff in the big box stores is just facepalm material.
Thank you!

I haven't fucked with fireworks since a rocket randomly changed trajectory at about 25ft up and shot into my neighbor's truck and exploded.
No major damage and everyone was okay but it was scary how it just randomly changed direction.
This is why professional city sponsored fireworks displays shoot from very empty places like fields or massive parking lots or state fairgrounds. Ours fires from an island in the river.
And they keep the ones not ready to go in protected boxes to prevent this

As for the issue with PTSD and pets... I think both would be better if people actually got appropriate mental health and the government stayed the fuck out of healthcare and people got training when they got a pet.
I myself am guilty of trying to calm a dog down and instead making it worse and getting myself bit. In the face. And I've been working with and training dogs since I was a kid.
My mistake in that moment is the mistake many people make. Not viewing my dog as an animal. Viewing him as if he were just a slightly underdeveloped human.
He was terrified of fireworks and thunderstorms. He got a benadryl before either and we set him up a safe space, usually the bathtub, and strapped with a thundershirt. And he would be okay.
But if we didn't do he would be inconsolable and hyperventilating.

That's awesome!!, except the bite part.
Learning from my mistakes is one of the nicest things in life.

There should be opportunity for people like you to stay away from fireworks and oportunities for people like me to enjoy fireworks.
We should not discontinue this artform because some people take offense at it.
This pleasure should not be taken away. Regulated yes, but not taken away.

If they cared for everyone they wouldn’t have taken a job with blowing up brown children in the job description.

He wasn't afraid of booms when he was a puppy. We think someone (possibly me) left him outside during a thunderstorm and it traumatized him

I will fully agree there are some monsters in there that only want to kill "terrorists:. I'm just saying please dont group them all into that category. You are doing the SAME thing all of america has been doing to black people.

I've only met one of dozens that wanted to join the military to legally kill people and he was crazy.
And probably disappointed as much of the infantry just sat around most of the time during the Iraq war.

Long story short, I saw some guy climb up on the kids playground to launch mortars by hand.
The third boom went wrong. He went up to check on it and it exploded in his hand.
I guess you mean he wasn't using some remote trigger? Usually they are lit by hand with lighter or punk but not while also holding the mortar tube (also had a dumb friend do this) I've also had one of those 12-16 shot 'cakes' flip over and shoot a few shots towards us. I still like them tho

Oh I agree completely, but the oppression and oppressor is always going to be there with or without the US. Does that justify it? No, but it does offer a better explanation that this is exclusive to the US.

Without trolling the troll, she's a rich, mostly uneducated white privileged American with a silver spoon
What more do you expect than for her to trash talk the same soldiers giving her the privilege, and dying in the process.
She also has a pretty large hole in her brain from excessive MDMA and other drug use, most likely coke and the mefffs.
Nothing but pure filth from her mouth.
Without trolling or flaming, it's clear to see that she is uneducated at best, so it's best to just ignore her.

Yeah, it's pretty funny how much people hate their privilege, but at the same time are completely unwilling to voluntarily take away even the smallest aspect of that privilege.
I make no excuses about it, I love my first world standard of living and I'm not giving away one fraction of that benefit to enhance of life of others I don't know about on the other side of the world. It's called being intellectual honest, something that's usually missing in these conversations.

Yeah
I don't trash talk soldiers who are giving up their lives for that freedom.
And even cops for example. Yes there are a crap-ton of bad apples but they THEY are also defending that freedom.
What Sara said honestly shows me how uneducated people really are and un-appreciative of the sacrifices others have made so that they can strum around like cry babies with a cause complaining about tears in their eyes because they are crying.
