I've utterly dreaded the 4th since I got my dog three years ago. The thoughtlessness of my fellow humans is sometimes truly breathtaking.

I'm a dog guy but Rob Neyer and those that think like this can fuck off. On the list of Things Humans Do That Suck, shooting off fireworks and inadvertently scaring a few dogs for a night is very, very low.

But I'm willing to reconsider. Are the firework people douchebags or are whiny bitches like Rob Neyer douchebags when it comes to this?

Shooting off fireworks after 10:30,that you were dumb enough to buy, also lets everyone know you have a small penis.

Not a douchebag on July 4th.

On June 15th through June 30th, yes you're a douchebag.

I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.

Prior to three years ago when he happened to get a dog, how many times did Rob take part in this 241-year-old "breathtakingly thoughtless" tradition?

Hey everybody, no one can shoot off fireworks on the 4th of July anymore because this Star-Spangled Dickhead over here just got a dog.

I saw a guy spend over $2k on fireworks and another spend $1600 yesterday. I buy fireworks every year but that was ridiculous.

Fuck him and his dumbass dogs that bark EVERY night of the year.

I'll bet some of my neighbors spent close to that. Two Mexican families were launching fireworks from Friday night through last night. They had some pretty heavy duty stuff.

your dog will survive and there are tons of things you can do to calm them down.

i suggest a swift kick to the ribs. it works every time.

For every "think of the dogs" post there's also a "think of the ptsd vet" post as well, unless they're both mentioned in the same post

I hate fireworks, I get a small amount of joy when adults lose fingers or hands lighting this cheap Chinese shit off. It leaves debris everywhere, it can start fires.. I'd ban em if I was in charge.

Man dies when fireworks he was checking suddenly go off

A man was killed on the Southwest Side Tuesday night when he bent over a fireworks tube that hadn't ignited and it suddenly went off, striking him in the head, according to police and fire officials.

David Griffin, 42, was with children in an alley in the 2500 block of West 54th Street in Gage Park when he set up a fireworks display around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, officials said.

Griffin lit a tube made to shoot fireworks 40 to 50 feet into the air but it did not go off, fire officials said. He bent over the tube and the fireworks went off and hit him in the face.

He was taken to Holy Cross Hospital and pronounced dead at 9:54 p.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner's office. Griffin lived on the block where the accident happened.
