Tragically, Matiss Kivlenieks, a 24-year old goaltender for the Columbus Blue Jackets of the National Hockey League, died Sunday, July 4th after an accident involving fireworks at a party in Novi, Michigan, according to CNN. Random people shooting off powerful fireworks in the densely populated East Village is a danger to residents.<br /><br />East Village Community Memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00583658890256328879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-26234409771876575062021-07-05T16:51:31.625-04:002021-07-05T16:51:31.625-04:00at 12:30 PM

Illegal fireworks are a serious fire hazard (especially in parts of the county affected by drought and heat waves), pose risks of personal injury, and disturb the peace. We're not talking about a few fire crackers here, some of these are significant incendiary devices making ear-shattering booms. This is not pleasant for many residents, families and pets.East Village Community Memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00583658890256328879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-636602702472532532021-07-05T12:30:15.752-04:002021-07-05T12:30:15.752-04:00Nothing says "I love my neighborhood" li...Nothing says "I love my neighborhood" like setting off illegal fireworks and THEN leaving all this trash behind for others to clean up.<br /><br />Young people (b/c that's who largely set off illegal fireworks) are so damn lazy, entitled, self-centered and heedless.
