I know it's kinda hard to quantify and fireworks can be overpriced, but street value up to 10 million and 150,000 pounds puts that at around $67 a pound per fireworks. I know that's also a weird metric to use for fireworks, but that feels pretty high.
just like cocaine busts, they use the highest possible price as reference
And it's probably gross weight, not net weight.
Idk, 65 tons of fireworks could put on a pretty good show.
I live in socal and it's super dry right now and HOT. The next city over is doing a "fireworks and night of destruction" tomorrow.
I know it's unlikely but I hope their fireworks were in that seizure.
I'm all down for a night of destruction, but the fireworks right now is suchhh an easy way to start a wild fire. There's already been a few small ones this past month.
It's crazy to me that fireworks can even be shipped to California, let alone actually used in-state, with how many wildfires they've caused. I genuinely would not trust people with them at this point
And i don't mean "mailed" or "trucked", I mean "turn that ship north and go the long way fuckers, not in this port" shipped.
I remember at the time watching some of the videos people posted that were way closer and thinking of how bad it must have been. No one went to jail for that bit of destruction. At least I never heard of any of the law enforcement types getting punished.
Don't forget to do it in the middle of a residential neighborhood.
Gotta dispose of them like how they do the fractional mountains of drugs

Most of California has a Mediterranean climate where the summers are dry and the winter is when the rain comes.
Would be better if some holiday around February or so, at the end of the winter, was when the "big fireworks holiday" was.
Now set them off all at once and give us a show.
I seem to remember them doing something like that one time.

I could hear this explosion from 7 miles away
