(239 posts)I live in a nice suburban neighborhood but last night (the 4th) was like being a war zone! My girlfriend and I were sitting on her back porch just chatting when the fireworks started going off all over the neighborhood. It was a constant barrage of "booms" and flashes that went on for HOURS! There was a haze of smoke throughout the area and the smell of gunpowder filled the air. It was really annoying! I wanted to yell, "Enough already!" We were also worried about rockets hitting her roof because they were flying all over the place. These people have no consideration for others! Of course the police were doing nothing about it even though fireworks are illegal in this area. But I did hear a number of fire-trucks racing from one spot to another, no doubt because morons either set fire to something or blew one of their fingers off. Idiots!
