Yall got these going off in your neighborhood every night? It's a problem in NY and a lot of other metropolis cities and has been for a couple weeks already.

Not to put on the tin foil hat here, cuz I generally don’t follow conspiracies, but more people need to be talking about the very real possibility that the fireworks are being orchestrated by the government (or even an outside government) for nefarious purposes. It seems far more logical than the same average joes paying thousands of dollars for a lifetime supply of fireworks going out night after night for weeks on end in hundreds of isolated incidents across the country (a vital point) and lighting up more and more fireworks. People trynna say it's kids, but kids have parents that aren't going to condone them setting off rockets late every damn night, so the only other age group is college kids who live independently. I'd buy it if it were just one city and a couple groups of people, but you don't see that kind of mass copycat behavior from dozens of different areas. It really just doesn't gel.

There are tons of possibilities for motive. It could be to desensitize people to gunshot sounds before orchestrating some large scale shooting, or to weaken people’s immune systems through sleep deprivation in a pandemic (which is scientifically proven to cause more illnesses to happen), to just cause psychological discord to further incite rioting, or just to justify a need for police during a time when a lot of people are calling for defunding. I don’t pretend to know/care what the end game is, but It’s a non-violent “shades of grey” approach to violence that the U.S. is def. capable of
