True story;
"Dave" from NY, moved into our neighborhood with wife Stacey. They owned a printing business up until 2008 when the market crashed. Then they became 'employees' of the company they were forced to sell. This is because Dave was one of those "Black out drunks"...couldn't manage a company let alone his life.
For many years leading up to 2008, they would have wild alcohol-fueled parties with ex-cons (no kidding) coming into the very-well-off neighborhood for about 8 years, setting off 'low altitude 4" mortars (Modified to go off at 15 feet instead of 100) and Sparkler bombs...not just on the 4th, but like TUESDAY, of any given month. These 11pm-2am explosions would rattle windows, get toddlers out of bed screaming and crying from surrounding households,(including mine) and set off car alarms...then they would close the garage door and plead innocent when the Sheriff showed up 1 hour later after multiple 911 calls.
4th of July was just wild at their house, however they continued this neighborhood tradition going 365 days...
About 3 years ago, we were lighting off our fireworks in the culdasac with other neighb's when suddenly Dave and Stacey's backyard boozefest LIT UP, like 5 times as worse as the vid shown in post 1.
There was no doubt there were injuries....cries, pleads for help...plenty of ex-cons over there to assist so we minded our own business.
Dave lost one of his eyes that evening when one of his short-fused his 4" mortars blew up in the tube as he lit it.. Justice was served, Dave went to rehab, ex-cons stopped showing up to their house, and the 4th of july is just another day in the neighborhood at their 1 acre.
