The veterans in my town begged the town council not to use fireworks for last year's 4th of July
They town launched them anyway and a bunch of those vets pissed off the town chuds and got death threats
Pretty much!
I live in a state that has legal fireworks next to a state that doesn’t and I live right by the state line so there are a ton of fucking fireworks stores and people shoot them off all the time. My poor dog is utterly toasted
The state on the other side of the line has legal recreational marijuana so it’s like everyone from my state runs over there to get stoned and everyone from there runs over here to blow shit up
Most coherent national structure
Celebrate the revival of God's son who is also God by exploding the Firmament which he has made!
Roman soldier? Roman candle? Close enough! 
I'm guessing people have leftover ones lying around and figure "Eh, close enough"
Maybe it's more of a 4/20 celebration
On one hand thats sorta shitty but on the other hand jesus isnt real so pass the bottle rockets amen.
I guess your neighbours took "He is risen!" (He is a firework) Too literally
Was just thinking abt it as an idea for a bit wtf
this should be a thing now
Do you live near a yaqui village? They do that near Easter
i live in a very densely populated suburb and i don't believe i've heard any in previous years either so i honestly think it was just a conservative 'Murica Hell Yeah thing. or for 420. or honestly could be both
Nothing says Easter celebration like mortars.
Maybe they were celebrating the pope dying tho…
it was a few hours before they announced it otherwise i would have thought it was for the pope 1000%
