Fireworks?

In reply to 11GTCS :

These people are the reason we can't have nice things. 

Some guy here died over the weekend, he was holding some sort of large scale fireworks in his hands and it went off in his face.

There was also an incident near a downtown park where a bunch of people were basically having a war with handheld Roman Candles.  They eventually pulled out their guns and ten people were shot.  https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/video-shows-chaos-as-fireworks-set-off-in-downtown-minneapolis-streets-on-july-4th/

I'll just hang out over here with my commercial pyro license, having been boss pyrotech in charge for july 4 shows since 1984 and let the lunatics with the Romans and the Glocks, and the Unbelievable Morons in that video on page 2, have at it... geez there aren't enough facepalm smilies

Michigan gives a wide berth for fireworks and national holidays. If I recall it is 4 days prior and 3 days following. Luckily in most major cities the fireworks are drowned out by the gunfire
