I& #39;ve been in Brooklyn 3 summers, w 3 years before in the Bronx, and over 30 years in New York City (born and bred).

These fireworks are not the normal fare.

They& #39;re not folks having fun or kids being obnoxious.

They started after curfew ended, & the helicopters (mostly) backed off.

There are too many (no one around here has $$ to drop on this many & this high quality), happening too often (12 hrs a day, everyday for 2 weeks).

Intervals spaced enough to keep tension and raise anxiety.

This feels like a coordinated effort to terrorize/punish the people in the city.

They are escalating.
