Funny to read this today. Last night was the first in a long time that I didn't hear them going off in the wee hours.

Chaos is never a good state of affairs.

They should call Antifa. That way they won’t have to deal with those racist cops.

Only a couple weeks ago, they were going off DURING THE DAY here in San Jose. My wife apparently found someone online saying that the fireworks are being set off to desensitize everyone so they won’t notice gunfire.

It sounds crazy, but given some of what’s gone down lately it doesn’t sound THAT crazy.

When the Russian Army was approaching Berlin, they kept up a constant barrage of heavy mortar fire, whether or not it was needed. They did this to demoralize and frighten the German population, particularly in Berlin.

The volume of fire was so great that it could easily be heard 100 miles away. It sounded like a distant thunderstorm that never ended.

Aren’t these the same people who said that the election of Trump was causing them to experience the symptoms of mental illness, such as PTSD and clinical depression?

I think New Yorkers had (has) the same problem, so many, decided if they couldn’t sleep, they wouldn’t let their communist mayor sleep either. 👍

It’s been happening in Las Vegas too. Not as bad in my neighborhood but where my son lives it’s every night. His poor dog is so stressed out she goes and hides in the closet.

Bay area residents don’t have a mind as long as they reside there and repeatedly vote themselves this crap, on the streets and in the halls of government. My heart bleeds. You have reaped what you sowed, now live with it.

Antifa/BLM anticipates that clogging police phone lines with fireworks complaints will make it harder for authorities to respond to priority situations.

I have been hearing fireworks the nighy or so, I live in a Pittsburgh PA suburb. Probably unrelated to the urban fireworks in various cities.

They’ve been going on every night here in Brooklyn. DeBlasio was very slow to do anything about it.

I’ve heard some really massive ones here in Colorado a few times in the last 2 weeks.

Fireworks used as cover for gunfire as various persons settle disputes and even old scores.

Same here

The other mornning we had what sounded like 12 very loud
sounds, sounding like a high caliber weapon.

A neighbor was reported to have seen the fireworks.

It happened at 4:42 am.

About a week later I found out that just 5 five miles away
they had the same thing happen on the same morning at
4:30.

Over the last few weeks, we also had the sounds of large
no muffler motorcycles at all hours, every ten to
fifteen minutes, and loud cars at all hours too.

Seems like massive disruption to me.

Last night was the first night in a long while the
fireworks, motorcycles, and loud cars weren’t making
loud noices from 8:30 in the evening until after midnight.

Prescient, isn’t it?

The sound of gunfire, off in the distance...

A lot of those people residing in Progressive Ghettos are suddenly eyeing moves to the suburbs/rural areas. The ones that have been working from home discovered that you don’t have to reside in the Progressive jungle to work. Seeing many inquiries from Ghetto dwellers for property in rural areas. Many are querying a friend with a couple thousand acres for 1-5 acre plots in his cow/sheep/goat pastures.
