Dangerous then and especially now, but my oldest brother lit off a firework in our backyard, right near or around when school was getting out. We lived a couple blocks away from an elementary school. It was loud enough that the school thought someone was shooting.
This was mid-late 2000s. I imagine if he did it today, the police would have absolutely arrested him without a second thought.
lol zoomer, oh no, not a firecracker. we had the anarchist's cookbook.
I don't remember what it was, but it certainly wasn't a firecracker. I don't know where exactly my parents used to get them, but they used to get illegal fireworks (illegal in our state) by crossing over state lines, if I remember correctly. Neither me nor my parents remember what he set off, but it definitely wasn't something wimpy like a firecracker.
Edit:
We lived in an area where you had more strict rulings on what is a legal firework to have and shoot off, so we definitely had some stuff that was definitely quite a bit stronger than what we could get in state.
