And if they were white and doing it in the suburbs, that would happen.


Nope. Not in my experience, anyway.

Let me solve this "mystery" for you. Fireworks at country clubs don't occur in the middle of the night, don't regularly result in injuries to children, and don't start fires.


This thread has gone on for pages and the first time injuries and fires have been mentioned is now. For all of the prior pages the complaint was entirely nuisance.

Not true. Even if it were, it'd be so obvious that it's part of the argument.
