Warren Cracks Down on Illegal Fireworks

Warren Mayor Michael O'Brien isn't having any tomfoolery with fireworks in Warren this year. Police have been ordered not to ignore fireworks complaints. Apparently some residents went way beyond roman candles and suddenly thought they were part of the Zambelli family, offering displays that went very high and causing fires last year. Given what I normally see on the 4th of July I wonder just how crazy some folks have gotten.

I know it sounds crazy to worry about the combination of beer and cheaply made Chinese explosives being harmful but apparently folks let things get a little out of hand. Oh and let's not forget the true innocents in this situation:

O’Brien added that not only do the fireworks disturb residents, they stress pets.

Come on people. Let's show a little respect for our four legged friends. The best way to celebrate the 4th in Warren this year is to pull up a lawn chair and enjoy your neighbor's fireworks. That way if anyone gets arrested you've got a 50/50 chance of videotaping someone getting Tasered and making some dough from selling the tape.

Happy 4th of July everyone!
