Fireworks in woonsocket 1:44AM

Three or four kids are lighting off loud fireworks at the entrance to Dunn park at 1:40AM... unbelievable. Cops missed them by a minute. Some of us work and make sure your able to buy food. Have just a little respect or next time I'll follow you quietly and see where you hide until the police come and throw the book at you. I'm talking illegal fireworks really really loud waking up me, my pregnant wife, and my young kid. Night after night.

They were shooting them sideways. Police show up immediately, leave after 5 minutes. About 45 minutes later 3 or 4 people are running down the street as fast as they can. That's ok. Tonight I may just grab my spotlight and camera and camp it. Might as well.seeing as I can't sleep with this going on anyway. Literally driving me insane.

Can't wait until we defund the police! Let's get those social workers out to deal with the fireworks

If the police weren't so fast to get there it would keep going on every night. Lucky for me they showed up quick that night, and not only that it seems like there were a couple people in the neighborhood that also joined in on the hunt unless they were unmarked police cars. Spotlight and SLR lenses ready to go, I'm catching these pricks and mugshot will be at the police inbox within a few minutes.

Same here brother. It’s getting out of hand. My friend is a marine with ptsd, he’s not doing good with these loud ass fireworks. Keep veterans in mind guys like wtf enough is enough.

If it’s any consolation there’s literally been a couple nights of fireworks going off until 5 am in Providence, when there is even a bit of light in the sky from the rising sun. Stopping before 3 am is considered an early night.

Its never been this bad in Providence, even the night of the 4th in previous years.

I've been hearing them for weeks. They have died down with the police actually taking action, but I think they ended that?

Providence has actually done something about it, nice for a change.

It has been weeks of these sleazebags lighting off loud illegal fireworks. In years past, its always been isolated to within a couple days of the 4th. Still illegal, but tolerable.

Should be a month mandatory prison time for lighting off illegal fireworks. They would stop instantly.

Better yet fine them 1000$ per. That would get their attention. Idk Why it stopped. I think the police had enough calls and decided to jump to it. Since that night no more. But then again I pulled an all nighter working 17 hours straight. I don't think anyone could wake me up im so beat
