In Brooklyn, there have been reports of young people shooting rockets and roman candles at passing cars. This has given rise to the theory that many young people and teens in NY are simply looking for a way to let off some steam during the pandemic lockdown. Most of those who have been calling their local police department, mayor’s office, or state representative are simply looking for an end to the noise and not an explanation of why the issue has arisen.
If the young people letting off steam explanation has become the acceptable face of this news story across the nation, some others are looking at darker reasons for the noise. Some are questioning how the number of people with a firework to shoot in the dead of night is so high at the moment as some unconfirmed reports state deprived areas of the U.S. are seeing mysterious figures taking over illegal firework equipment and accessories to youths. Other unconfirmed reports have mentioned large pallets of illegal firework regalia being left unattended in deprived neighborhoods that are being used by young people throughout each night.
The question that must then be asked is why would the firework issue even be a major issue? One of the more bizarre theories is that the noise of a firework being set off regularly is being used to desensitize the people of the U.S> for the eventual release of the military onto the streets of the nation accompanied by the barrage of artillery.
Reports in Brooklyn and Greensboro, North Carolina reveal the problem has been highlighted by police complaints detailing the problem going on from dusk until dawn. No matter what the reasons are behind the rise in firecracker and noise complaints of the last few weeks, the issue appears to be very real and not going away anytime soon.
