      How folly of the people who are supposed to "Serve and Protect," detonated a ballistic explosive in a densely populated environment, with blatant disregards to human safety, an d safety protocols. Of course, this is my opinion, and only know oneside of story.

      Surely as in other countries there are laws about storing explosives, because that is what pyrotechnics are . The conditions and distances from buildings , roads and the public . Then the insurance to hold and store pyro, public liability etc.
      Then again mad men have a finger on a nuclear device .
      Learn from this tragic incident.
      Tighten up the law and enforce it .
      ?
      Is that possible?
      Well it is common sense , is there any around .
      I doubt it .

    So stupid! Why take so long to reimburse these people? The should have repaired or rebuilt their homes right away. Then let the victims decide if they wanted to stay or sell their revamped / new homes. What a waste of time and money. I hope they don't botch the distribution of funds to the victims.
