[quote=Anonymous]I live across from a DC park where every year folk set off large fireworks, some are definitely not DC legal. I normally just have a daytime nap, then watch the show from my porch, as I'm not going to get any sleep anyway. I might as well enjoy the spectacle. But last night, some young people decided to aim the fireworks at their buddies/frenemies. The flares were going horizonal, heading towards people, cars and homes. I called 911, and after at least 7 "please hold" messages, I got through to an operator who asked "if anything was on fire at present". I answered that I didn't know as I wasn't outside anymore. I remained close to a window, watching in case something struck my home or the neighbors. I waited 40 minutes and never saw any police response. The mis-aiming of flares continued for at least 30 minutes more with flares landing near cars and pedestrians running for safety. Am I unreasonable to think that some official response was warranted?
