Default Any chance of finally banning fireworks being sold to the retarded public?

Well - we've had the first lot of shitters letting off fireworks here all afternoon.

We've got three pet dogs - all of whom spend the month or so of this time of year cowering in a corner scared to death at the crap going off outside

Coupled with the death of a woman's pet dog as a result of a surprise fireworks display being "given" by that loathsome bint Heather Mills - I see on Sky News the following:

Dramatic CCTV Pics Of Firework Attack

Updated:20:08, Wednesday October 31, 2007

Dramatic pictures have been released of a thug in a Halloween mask setting off a large industrial-style firework in a small off-licence.

A baby narrowly escaped serious injury when the man let off the huge pyrotechnic, which contained 200 rockets.

CCTV stills show the man, dressed in a dark cloak and wearing a mask similar to the one featured in the Scream movies, hurling the firework into the shop in Bolton.

It explodes in a ball of flames and smoke, the smaller rockets shooting into the air and ricocheting off the grocery shelves.

The shopkeeper managed to kick the firework out into the shop porch.

But his 15-month-old son was taken to Royal Bolton Hospital as a precaution after vomiting due to smoke inhalation.

The firework is believed to have been a Fantasia 218 and police are keen to hear from any retailers who may have sold the brand to anyone.

Inspector Tony Kenyon, of Greater Manchester Police, said: "This was one of the worst incidents I have ever seen of someone abusing a lit firework and endangering lives.

"It could be described as an industrial-style firework with up to 200 repeat rounds so the risk of endangering life was very high."

The incident happened at the California Wines shop on Tonge Moor Road, Bolton, at 9.30pm on Monday.

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 0161 856 5761 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
Link of that including video of the attack: http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/...,00.html?f=rss

So yeah - can we actually ban the sale of fireworks to the general public please? Seems that banning smoking is not a problem to the government...

I don't see why the actions of a tiny mindless minority, and the words of a slightly larger mindless whinging minority, should spoil everyone else's fun

there will never be a ban on sale to the public as I remember reading it was a £60m a year industry, as much as it might cause injuries and deaths - it's making a lot of money for the government and the people who sell/make them

A local pyrotechnic recently abandoned his attempt at furthering the existing world record "rocket launch" of 56,405 rockets with a launch of 110,000 rockets due to pollution issues.


Tbf, he did launch 39,210 rockets in 1997 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/eur...ey/6929192.stm

110,000 rockets would be awesome.
