A South Carolina man died on the 4th of July after igniting a firework on his head.

Allen Ray McGrew, 41, was found laying in the road. He put a firework on his head, and it exploded while on his head, causing massive head injuries, officials said.

His wife, Paige McGrew, said her husband had been drinking since 6 p.m.

See, Florida? It’s not just you. Americans get drunk and do insanely stupid shit everywhere else in the country too.

    We do. They:

    • Cause pollution and impact people with respiratory illnesses.
    • Are a burden on EMS and hospitals.
    • Veterans with PTSD hate them.
    • Pets and animals hate them.
    • Drunk shitheads disrupt the peace for people who work the next day.

    They’re a high cost and a stupidly superficial reward.

    At the very least ban private sale. Start promoting drone displays. They’re cooler anyway.
