Cobra's are notorious and illegal here they are used by both fireworks enthusiasts, at the end of the year, as underworld to send a message. Police is worried.
Firework culture almost died out here, i remember when we were kids, all the kids would be outside whole december/january messing around with fireworks, my friends and i were obsessed with it. But now almost no one does it.
Yes here too they want to ban it because of the many people who get injured, as a kid I loved it they still sell fireworks here two days before New Year and I enjoy the rockets and other stuff but most exciting is the illegal stuff from China lol..
