At the end of the day, someone died. We have to be more empathetic. To laugh at this or make jokes is just wrong if we are being real. This person has a family who is grieving. This was a terrible accident. Let’s be respectful and leave it at that.
The Internet really has made y'all comfortable with saying rude stuff without getting punched in the face for it
I am a surgeon in the ER yesterday we amputated fingers from firework damage including from kids. Please be careful or better yet please do t buy them
Fireworks are bombs people. They’re literally bombs
