Multiple reports across the US of large displays of fireworks every night . Does this occur every year?

$600 a week stimulus checks, and firework companies with a huge surplus since most 4th of July celebrations were cancelled

You should get shotguns and treat the fireworks like clay pidgeons and chalk it up to shooting practice

I can confirm what you're sayihng. 2nd or 3rd night after floyds was greenvilles and I personally saw the fireworks from my cabin in NC, about 40-50 miles away from me. If I could see them from that distance with the naked eye, they were professional fireworks

It's not damn close to july 4, when they started this it was over 2 weeks before july 4. I can see maybe a week before and a week after but this seems to have been going on a long time

You could be right, that people are more bored and holed up with nothing to do..wanting to say F it and escpae for a while..i could see that argument

I saw fireworks in greenville, sc during the VERY first night of protests, and this was weeks ago...I think it was 2 days after the first floyd riot in minneapolis

I remember standing on the bed of my truck (i'm in the mountains) at like 1-130am and I was on the phone with my friend in colorado who is 2 hrs behind me and telling her about seeing the fireworks and being like "what the f is going on in greenville?"

I dind't know about the riots there so I googled it with her on the phone and saw it was rioting there at that time...yet there were ??? FIREWORKS?? We thought maybe it was police doing it

If I could see them from my mountain cabin in hendersonville, nc (greenville is like 40 miles away as the crow flies) (and I have a VERY nice view of sc btw...million dollar lookout mountain view)....if I could see these fireworks with my naked eye, these were PROFESSIONAL fireworks, very big ones)

Not something you can buy with a stimulus check. LIke 10k worth of fireworks

If you flew a drone over them and the fireworks hit them then you could report it to the FBI because it's a federal crime

As he explains, “Shooting down a drone is a federal crime because drones are “aircraft” under federal law. 18 U.S.C. § 32. It would also be illegal under general criminal or civil laws in most states.Mar 4, 2019
