Last year, some local idiot lost a few fingers. Went to throw a lit M80 out the window and forgot the window was still rolled up.

I will never understand how people can be so fucking stupid. It HAS to be genetic.

I couldn't either, drum. I stopped it at :25, just after the idiot got shot in the face.

I'm hearing the morons already. It's illegal to have anything besides sparklers and snakes here unless you have a license. We're a couple blocks from college dorms and apartments and every year we have things exploding all day and night until the 4th. There's always things on the news about the ones who got hurt.
