Cousin Vinny with the load of fireworks he scored that he just can't wait to blow off.

Many years of memories in that moment.

Beyond the "joys" of having your neighborhood sound like a warzone all night. Beyond the joys of these clowns also making sure to celebrate the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 19th... Beyond the PTSD and noise, the frightened animals and people, the disrupted sleep... We also have to worry about people blowing up half the street either because they don't know what they're doing, or they think they're funny.

Every 4th, we can count on the clueless and stupid playing with explosives and creating an unnerving and unsafe night for us all. But what else would we expect in a nation founded on violence and fueled by violence to this day?

Anyway, in closing, I see your "What just happened" and I raise you this:

Why are no adults over there making sure the kids don't do stupid, unsafe things?

That car was probably toast when this video was over.

I'll bet the insurance company doesn't want to pay for the damage. Am I right?

This happened last year in NW Ohio. Apparently, a U-Haul truck caught on fire that was carrying fireworks
