I'm a simple emigrant and I enjoy watching beautiful fireworks

This New Year in Germany there were unusually many fireworks. I think people had stockpiled them from previous years: for two consecutive years the government prohibited launching fireworks. For German pyrotechnics enthusiasts this is a disaster, because under normal circumstances fireworks in Germany can be sold and launched for only three days a year: from December 29 to December 31. I understand your indignation: for weddings, birthdays and any other personal occasions you can use pyrotechnics, but only after permission from the responsible authority and in the presence of a professional. These are the main points, in fact the rules are much more, and by the way they are written by the German Ministry of the Interior. Naturally, such strict restrictions were not always. They were introduced because of the constantly increasing number of not-very-bright people who use firecrackers and pyrotechnics not for their intended purpose. Basically, I, like the majority of Germans, see nothing wrong in these precautionary measures. I remember once at my school some idiot threw such a firecracker right on the stairs. I almost went deaf, and one little boy was taken to the hospital. You don’t have to look far for examples; this year adults behaved much worse than the little kid from my school. In Berlin Afghan and Syrian migrants together with representatives of other countries carried out fireworks shootouts, attacked cars and the police, firefighters and even the ambulance service. Naturally, at the top authorities again talked about tightening the rules for using fireworks. But in fact everyone understands that the problem here is not the firecrackers and the little lights. And what do you think about the availability of pyrotechnics? #holidays #Ordnung
