Enough with the fireworks. These people put everyone at risk. Not funny. Not necessary. Time to grow up, move from the awesome of fireworks.
Often, damage is NOT covered by insurance. Illeagal fireworks are listed exemptions in many policies. So yah, don't be 'that' guy. 😟
Not again! So sick of them illegal fireworks!
When are people going to learn that fireworks are illegal in LA.
Anyone else remember the truck that was supposed to safely detonate a stash of illegal fireworks and instead blew up a whole neighborhood? Now THAT'S an LA story!
Fireworks are so lame
Drone shows are more creative and fascinating!
