We're no where near the city. We had more fireworks in view of our house last night than I've ever seen x10. Local town cancelled theirs as did all the towns around. Last night after dusk, looking in all directions, there were fireworks displays on the horizon. I didn't count but I bet it was 15 different locations that we could see. Counting seconds, most were 1 - 2 miles away. Wife said "Take that, everybody who hates America".

In metropolitan areas a plague with lock downs is the perfect environment for becoming laws unto yourselves. Murders, rapes, robberies are all skyrocketing as the police are not going to expose themselves to the virus, and the perps are all wearing masks which hide their identity. Light off enough fireworks, and suddenly it becomes legal as the authorities plead ignorance, in order to continue the illusion of control.

Laws are self enforced, not enforced by the police. The minute the public comes to understand that there are too many of them to apprehend, the intimidation of culling out the few to intimidate the many, ends. You obey laws you choose to preserve something you choose more important than the laws you are subjected to.

Americans are a very disciplined people, and this plague has shown that our communities do not need to employ millions of armed state and federal police, as even criminals have limits in most cases and will police their own ranks. Returning to the county Sheriff with deputies, and having community volunteers who are armed to be activated when needed is all the United States needs. It would save billions of dollars and crime would reduce, as criminals would understand that armed neighborhoods would protect themselves and enforce the law, instead of being intimidated by the local political, state or federal establishments.

My only guess is it makes some elected officials with small man syndrome feel important. Handguns are all but outright banned in Chicago and look how many die there every weekend.

Just shows that Americans despite their political leanings love celebrating America no matter what the powers say.

Just laws are derived from the consent of the governed. If the governed (people of LA) don't consent (as evidenced by all the fireworks, and only a thousand or so complaints in a city of millions) then the law is essentially null and void; those that enforce the law are powerless. Law enforcement's only real power is the compliance of society at large, if we all choose to ignore a law there's not enough law enforcement around to force everyone to comply. The same thing could happen with mask laws, gathering size bans, gun laws, etc etc etc.

Doubt it but there is always hope no matter how small the sliver. Most probably have no idea what the 4th is even about.
