The inconsiderate shitheads on my street can shove their fireworks up their ass and light them.

My father survived a landmine in Iraq in 2003. The PTSD makes his daily life a living hell. These constant explosions aren’t helping in the slightest. AND FOR SHITS SAKE IT ISN’T EVEN 2017 YET HERE HOLD THE DAMN LIGHTERS FOR ONE MORE HOUR.

I’ll be very thankful if my dog doesn’t have a heart attack in the next 15 minutes. This is ridiculous.

In the distance, car alarms.

I hope your dad’s OK. Maybe give him some headphones?

Sorry to hear that your dad is feeling distress over the fireworks

Legit questions: I see complaints from people with dogs, babies and veterans about fireworks a few times a year. Is there a good solution? Do we stop fireworks?

He’s fast asleep right now. Hopefully the rain washed them out and they can cut it out.

I want fireworks to be banned from civilian use. PTSD aside, it should be illegal to hand ordinary people a box full of explosives.

I guess that is one solution. Noise control is an interesting / challenging question. People would say the same thing about loud cars, guys, concerts.

The explosive and chance of harm question is a whole other thing.

I love fireworks myself. That’s just me, but I limit my use to some occasional action on the 4th.

Don’t move to near me. My frequently celebratory Latino neighbors down the alley light fireworks year round for any occasion. I once joked to my wife, “Hooray, it must be another Tuesday.”

I am not a fan of fireworks because it is a waste of money, in my opinion.

But saying it is a waste of money is ironic and hypocritical of my own self, who likes cars!

The noisiness is cool and all for like the first 5 seconds when it’s just black cats going crazy but it gets annoying when I’m trying to get in some studying at 2am and motherfuckers are still popping fireworks.

I don’t mind professional displays but even sparklers are illegal in Denver. Yeah, it makes me sad to see my dog like this, but I really hate stressing over someone catching the neighborhood on fire.

Just lay off the firecrackers. Their not pretty and sound the most like guns. The whistle from bottle rockets and such can be bad depending on pitch, but at least their pretty.

Fuck no we don’t. I was born around the Fourth of July. I love fireworks.

I’m sorry for the people who have a pet/PTSD/irrational anger twords fireworks but you are the vast minority.

Sorry it’s traumatic for your dad. To be fair though, you’re neighbors probably have no idea the effects it’s causing on him.
