Does Gunfire Substitue for Fireworks?

Damn neighbors think so. Don’t those bullets come down eventually?

My buddy @PorkSkinNole is in Atlanta and also said that locals were substituting gunfire for fireworks. And yeah, the bullets come down somewhere.

That’s common in the third world.

Parts of Atlanta are third world.

Kinda crazy, but I don't remember it being an issue when I grew up in Dallas proper, now that I'm in the northern burbs, New Year's Eve is treated like July 4th with fireworks and gun shots. Weird.

Since I can foresee this turning the way of a lock coming...

I haven’t thought about it in years, but our ole man had a strange ritual. He used to get up out of a dead sleep, walk outside, fire off a few rounds, and basically head straight back to bed. Never knew if he set his clock or if it was an internal timer. RIP, Pops.

Or Lower Alabama.

Someone shot off a gun in a Jax neighborhood and the bullet came down into a room where a toddler was asleep, narrowly missing her.
Takes a special kind of smart.

I remember in the late 70s early 80s Miami on July 4 and NYE always sounded like the first 20 minutes of Saving Private Ryan.

We were in the New Orleans for the 5 quarter game , and there was a woman that died after some crazy person fired into the air right in the quarter, it was a crazy scene.

"Personally, I see nothing wrong with it," he said. "It's tragic what happened but, you know, I think gunfire and New Year's bringing it in, it's cultural. It's part of our culture but the sad thing is bullets have no name."

I don't believe we had any gunfire around our house last night, but we sure had a lot of fireworks...even though it was raining & foggy around midnight.

Cultural? Really?

I thought the same thing when I read it. I was also a bit surprised to read that the guy doesn't see anything wrong with it.

...even after he was also a victim of a gun shot. What?

ITP or OTP?

Vine City is the hood. It's New Year's every day there.

If your neighbors are firing off rounds like that, call the cops on them. Those folks don't have any common sense.

Sure, but isn’t killing their dog kinda harsh?
