3. People in Hawaii go bonkers for fireworks on NYE

When I lived there, I remember lots of people coming into the E.R. with asthma attacks the day after, because of the smoke hanging in the air.

4. Deaths are up to 4 now. Every year there is some death or injury here due to these idiots.

Maybe this will finally make people stop. We had fireworks continuously from 7pm to 1am. It was nuts. And it’s not just New Years—fireworks all year, randomly for god knows what.
