One of the best parts about growing up in New York City during the 80’s was the easy access to fireworks and how lit the 4th of July would be in the city that never sleeps.
Though they’ve since been banned due to the countless injuries they’ve produced, this year has seen a record number of illegal fireworks light up the streets of New York at night.
The Gothamist is reporting that complaints of fireworks exploding through the night rose by 236 times compared to the same time period last year as there have been 6,385 call ins about fireworks from June 1st to June 19th.
Already some are theorizing that the sudden influx of high quality fireworks in New York City is part of a sinister plan by the powers that be to destabilize the current protests and Black Lives Matter movement which has had law enforcement on the ropes during the past month and change, and there actually could be validity to it.
Whatever the case may be there is a noticeable uprise in fireworks going off in night in New York City but whether or not it’s to set the stage for martial law or something remains to be seen.
