The downtown Los Angeles celebration of Independence Day is one of many where fireworks have been replaced with drones for “environmental” reasons.
Swapping fireworks for drones is supposedly meant to improve air quality, even though the actual impact of a fireworks show on air quality is minimal.
And then there is the usual language about ‘inclusivity’.
“They’re so much more inclusive to everyone,” said Lynze Twede, an events manager for Salt Lake City Public Lands, in an interview with local news outlet Fox 13.
Fireworks can be harmful to “folks who suffer from PTSD or families who have dogs,” she said, adding: “Salt Lake City has more households with dogs than we do with kids.”
Even the Fourth can’t go without victimhood.
Fireworks have always been an Independence Day tradition. In 1777, celebrations included, “13-gun salutes, speeches, prayers, music, parades, troop reviews, and fireworks.” In 1779, Congress was holding a celebration that included “music, thirteen toasts, and an impressive display of fireworks”.
The Star-Spangled Banner with the ‘rockets red glare’ made a natural fit with fireworks.
All of that history and tradition does not matter at all to leftists. Eliminating it under one pretext or another is their imperative.
A fireworks display comes with a lot of tradition and history. Replacing it with a drone show or a laser show makes it easier to then replace that with something else.
Oh, yeah, I noticed that locally. We are the only city in the county that still allows fireworks on the 4th. So the leftist local propaganda rags (aka newspapers) launched a big campaign to shame us.
Hold your heads high and be not ashamed!
But….but….other cities have drone shows!
Whatever the hell those are supposed to be. Sight unseen, I’d like to use them as target practice.
I swear, lefties hate every American tradition – because they hate America itself.
When the Chinese bombs start bursting in air that won’t be good for the environment and that is likely to happen thanks to Biden letting in everyone including the Chinese military across our southern border
Once again, elected officials hide behind unelected administrative officials to make unpopular rules. Cowards.
The Left is so arrogant and sure of its ability to successfully press any narrative on a gullible public that they think nobody will understand that this is an attack by the Left on our traditions and the nation itself. They’ve been undermining our traditional holidays one by one since they started in on Thanksgiving. This is no accident or coincident. Like most of their policies the Left’s stated rationale for this one has little or nothing to do with the actual reasons for it. I hope they are wrong.
Where I live we have year-round fireworks stores and no damn regulations at all.
The real fireworks on the Fourth of July were the mass shootings all across the country by the usual suspects. But hey, what do I know? I’m a white supremacist because I noticed all the shooters were black. I wonder how many were trannies?
Yeah, that’s a point. Down in the SF Bay Area where fireworks are banned, the hoods still fire them off, there are so many that the police can’t stop them all. Then the real fireworks are when the hoodlums start shooting their guns in the air. What goes up must come down, so I always used to hide out inside, in hopes that if a bullet came down, the velocity would be decreased by the roof and such.
your caution is warranted. It’s a little known fact that islamopithecines die regularly from falling bullets because the retards have the habit of firing automatic rifles in the air en masse.
The mass shootings I referred to were mass murders, though. All across the country. Blue cities only, of course.
Never get caught in a situation with large numbers of blacks, as you know. That isn’t racism, it’s common sense, and all the left-wing scum know it although they won’t admit it because the have no honor.
Oh, yes, one year my roof began to leak. Investigation showed a bullet hole straight down. After that, we celebrated the Fifth of July when we found no other holes.
