Because some people can be idiots.
Last night, the idiots were out in full force. We were at a community fireworks display with tons of people around. Well, the idiots decided that it would be ever-so-much-fun to shoot off their fireworks, too. They live right by the grassy area where people congregate to watch the community fireworks. They had some pretty big stuff. And people got burned. A little girl got her hands burned; her ear was burned. A man's hair was almost set on fire. From the stuff coming down to the ground. Somebody got the police and shut them down, much to their dismay.
For years, in PA, the bigger stuff was illegal; we were essentially allowed sparklers. Of course, that didn't stop people from bringing them in from out of state. We did the same thing. The legislature recently allowed the bigger stuff to be sold.
But you don't set off the big stuff in a crowd! There could have been some serious burns.
