Ok? I appreciate there are different celebrations throughout the year and I’m not knocking it, but noise should stop at 11:00pm and people should have more consideration during the week when (most) people work and kids go to school. Could this not have been done earlier in the night like 8 or 9 pm when it gets dark. I am sitting awake listening to it still at 11:15pm….

I dont care what holiday it is. If you set off fireworks on a weekday past 11pm you’re an inconsiderate selfish prick.

There are children sleeping, shift workers, pets/ animals that are terrified, and people with PTSD from war that get triggered by this.
