> I will cross ref this post from the fireworks 2025 thread. My synopsis: Idiot with a houseful of guns, ammo, and bomb-making supplies sets off some bombs, not fireworks, as 4th of July noisemakers. Cops get called repeatedly, and after a couple visits figure out what’s really going on. Cop attempts arrest, idiot shoots cop, cop shoots idiot, killing him promptly. Cops dies a bit later at the hospital. Yeah some real fine upstanding American citizen there. Freedumb for sure.
