this has gone on since the birth of our great nation. i would think any real and proud american would love the sound of fireworks. i find it so much better to hear than small arms fire and the sound of rpg's in the street.
True, but I would rather they were made in the US

we went to a friends house and they were launching the mortars over our heads. our cooler and truck had red mud type spots on them. had to be whatever they put in there along with the explosives. go to thinking what a great way for them to get rid of their hazardous industrial waste. also got to thinking what if al caeda were to put some anthrax in the fireworks. good reason to kill them all before they do.

My experience has been with 'annoyance' type things and neighbors just wait a bit longer and these things tend to get better.

Why would you call the cops instead of just asking them to stop or warning them? That's just being a jerk :/
