NO FIREWORKS AT ALL

[wide-e-wide]

Remember back in the day when you could blow up shit in the middle of your street? Bottle rockets, blackcats, super-duper sky rocket shit?
Can't do that anymore.

It's nothing new but...
I saw on the news last night that the good people of Waco are taking this shit pretty serious. If you cross over Lake Waco there are a ton of fireworks stand. But if you buy them and cross back over into Waco city limits....THAT'S YO ASS. They said on the news that Waco PD will be posted up on both sides of the bridge waiting for you stupid ass to buy some shit and try to take it home.

I just wanted some "sparklers" for my kids to play with on New Year's Eve. NOPE.

I remember this was a big deal when I was a kid. I guess they think it's too "dangerous" now. Hell I have a cousin that would fuck up his hand every damn year popping firecrackers. I mean New Year's wasn't official until his little dumb ass was screaming and running into my aunt's house holding his hand. btw....he's 30 and STILL a student at Texas A&M....go figure.

No Dick Clark
No fireworks
NONE of that shit

What are our kids memories of New Year's eve gonna be like? Playing Wii and sending text messages? That's weak.

You can't even own them or possess them in the city? I mean I understand not shooting them off, but possessing them?

In connection with the New Years’ holiday, the Fire Department reminds everyone it is a violation of city ordinances to possess, use, manufacture, sell, give away, transport or discharge fireworks within the city limits of Waco without a permit from the fire marshal.

The ordinance also prohibits the possession of fireworks by a minor. The fine for violating the ordinance is $215 for possession, sale, give away or use of fireworks; and the fine for aiding a minor to use fireworks is $255.

For more information, call the City of Waco Fire Department at 750-1740


I searched the whole site and couldn't find the city's policy on Baylor football coaches getting drunk and pissing on bars.

Houston FD is pulling the same shit. You have some parts of town, one side of the street is Houston, other side is another city. HFD will wait on one side and wait for people to cross an intersection, then BAM, ticket.

Fuck these stupid bans and ordinances in certain places. Screw it, just ban fire works all together if that's what they're going to do. I love shooting them off, but It's bullshit having to worry about being fined for crossing the wrong side of the street.

[Traffic]

The sign entering into our subdivision prominently states "No Fireworks Allowed".

These are the fascists who won't let you park the car in the driveway overnight unless you have more cars than garage spaces. So, this is no surprise.

Uh, any of you brainiacs thought about taking an alternate route home?
