This has many reasons I am sure, but I bet one of them is to mess with ShotSpotter. It is a system in most major metro areas that detects gunshots and will alert local police units. By inundating the system with fireworks it will in a sense disable the systems in most areas. That is why police always say 4th of July is a pain in the ass because of shots fired calls. Normal people calling in plus the system will pretty much ruin the system.

Those systems, at least the newer versions, record and compare audio from fireworks and gunshots and are supposed to be able to tell the difference. Not sure exactly how effective it is though.

I came across this blog post on the subject by some delusional cunt walking around at night in black neighborhoods who describes it as:

a form of protest. And the protest is so layered in meaning and gorgeous to view that I think it qualifies as performance art

I hate the idea of even an idiotic white liberal women being raped and murdered, but man she has it coming:

it’s hard to imagine a more beautiful, playful way for the black community of Boston to shine a light on the inherently oblivious nature of white people exercising privilege.

Apart from the BLM nonsense, I would guess one contributing factor is the cheap availability of fireworks due to Covid19 cancellations of July 4th events.

I have noticed a huge amount of fireworks at night. It’s after my bedtime at least so I just hear them go off for awhile. I know there’s some Mexicans on my block so I just assumed it was them, or the blacks. Way more than normal but I didn’t give it much thought. I wonder if my neighbors are making in calls.

So who saw that original report? A million people? 3 Million? 10? The country is full of people that simply don't give a shit. They know something is wrong , but it doesn't really matter-positive thinking and all that.

One idea I heard was that the nogs having a drug war right now are using the fireworks to confuse the "shots fired" audio detectors that are installed around the city.

Surely the audio detectors would be advanced enough to be able to tell the difference between a gun shot and airburst-style fireworks.

The same physics that make the sound of a gun when fired make the sound of fireworks when exploded, supersonic changes in localized air pressure.

u/empire_of_the_mind's explanation is probably correct. The reason why they're doing it is likely to desensitize authorities to the system's reporting.

Nahh, they're not. Sure there are some that are, but I think acoustics in cities may be a bit more complex for the machine. Spotshotters I think is one brand

Desensitization for war

Isn't there some Satanic belief were they have to foreshadow the thing before doing the thing?

There's also a Jewish belief that if they tell you they're going to cheat you, then lie and say they won't cheat you, and then cheat you, it's your fault for believing them and getting cheated.

It's a psychopath's line of thinking. "The fact that someone could be taken advantage of proves they deserved it."

Now lets crossreference it with how many illigal aliens complains came in and how many of those reporting fireworks reported illegal invaders.
