The illegal fireworks in the Rosecrest area of Herriman is ridiculous. And there are police cars from most cities in the state parked in that area every night. Then in Tooele you have a neighborhood of adults with tons of illegals (uh, fireworks this time) up the wazoo, but the cops only shows up for the one last bottle rocket by a teenager.

Managing fireworks in Utah is as effective as managing fights in hockey. You'll never separate the two in either case because you're not really trying very hard.

I don't care who lights the illegal fireworks, they are still illegal and maybe the parents should be fined and given a wake up call. It is wrong for anyone to endanger others or their property just for juvenile entertainment.
