[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My young adult son got home last night saying it was a lot - people lighting off fireworks in the street so driving was hard and dangerous.[/quote]

I mean.

I drove home around 11. It WAS hard and dangerous. It’s a night where you need to drive really carefully! And the smoke was very thick and impacted visibility - I think it was a bad year for that because of the weather. Tons of pedestrians, of course.

But the closest thing I saw to “fireworks in the street” was just people setting them off on residential streets to be away from buildings/vegetation with informal traffic control. It’s illegal and I wish they wouldn’t. But it wasn’t chaos. [/quote]

I think you probably experienced the same thing. My son didn’t describe it as chaos and he wasn’t frightened. He didn’t think the people setting off fireworks on residential streets were doing anything terrible, just that he had to keep making turns to avoid driving down streets with fireworks going off in the middle of them, and that it was really smoky. That all sounds different than what happened with kids pointing fireworks at people.[/quote]
