Well, I guess that law failed…again… as do so many others. Laws do not prevent people from committing crimes or committing stupid actions. Laws permit a more ordered society and an administered justice by the State. We give lawmakers, enforcers, and judges this power in society to prevent vigilantes and personal vendetta’s.
In some respects, laws teach society what are unacceptable behaviors (and acts) as determined by our elected representatives. But just because somebody wrote a law is not a reason to uphold it. In fact, I would challenge everyone to consider if a law is valid or not and then to consider if it should be honored.
I am sorely tempted to ignore TSA and walk thru with my darn shoes on. Each time, I consider if the resulting hassle will impinge my freedom of movement and if it is in my best interest to refuse succumbing to this degrading performance. It gnaws at me to take them off; and I am often in a discussion with others at security about how offended I am by this.
Obama could eliminate this charade with a stroke of the pen and every air traveler would sing his praises. Well, all air travelers would who aren’t afraid of the arab boogeyman.

I’m guessing they’re illegal precisely to avoid situations like what happened in Cudahy.

I am not sure why fireworks are illegal. I would prefer that personal permits be required with annual safety training and that the city set aside fireworks zones with appropriate fire trucks and medical personnel.

That would be a shindig in my opinion.(If anybody still uses that word.)

Perhaps he will be called upon to testify at the trial.

“They ignored city ordinances.

They defied state statutes.

Yessiree.

Right out in the open.

Igniting fireworks.

Lighting up the sky.

I’m assuming no busybodies called the Cudahy police to complain. There wasn’t a squad car armed with tickets in sight.

As it should be.”
