Yeah, because they really seemed like a mature group that would say "Hey, we're sorry, we'll save these for the 4th". Courteous people don't "tackle" others to the ground.



If you read the original post again, you'll see why the guy went on the defense. Personally, I wouldn't take some random guy popping out of a bush/tree, then running at me, sticking a camera in my face(ON MY PROPERTY), telling me he's calling the cops, very lightly(and I'm pretty laid back). It's obvious that the police have that same mentality, or they wouldn't have just let the 5th degree assault, go un-punishable.

Then there's the part that you didn't quote me on, or question. The fact that it doesn't even get dark until 10:00(with daylight savings). The fireworks show here in town didn't go off until after 10:00, and lasted until 11:00. Are you suggesting that they start an hour earlier, and do them in the daylight? Or should they just cancel fireworks altogether? The only thing I see wrong, was that it wasn't ON the 4th that they were lighting off the fireworks. But you'll NEVER get around that, as people EVERYWHERE light off fireworks from ~July 1st - ~July 8th.
