Mitre -Ramirez, Norma <br />From: <br />Barbara Wall <1stcarsonator@gmail.com> <br />Sent: <br />Monday, April 04, 2016 10:41 AM <br />To: <br />eComment <br />Subject: <br />fireworks <br />Categories: Correspondence <br />It is my understanding that the City Council will be reviewing the status of 4th of July fireworks. I read that a <br />group opposed to fireworks in Santa Ana will attend and try to persuade the Council to make fireworks illegal. <br />Fireworks on the 4th of July is a longstanding cultural expression of Patriotism. I object to the council deciding <br />to ban fireworks for 'safety' reasons, as the data does not support that they are an undo threat to the safety of the <br />public. Most of the objections listed in the Santiago Neighborhood community sight are pet related. They are <br />concerned that their dogs and cats get upset by the noise. That is just too bad. I am suggesting that if the council <br />makes fireworks illegal, it is their attempt to restrict American Patriotism, and the foundational support for <br />banning them in the city, is racist against 'white' Americans. <br />In the Opinion section of the Register on April 4, 2016, staff writer John Phillips suggests that isolated cases of <br />misuse of 'anything', leads government to overreact and ultimately implement new laws abridging our <br />freedom. <br />What I have noticed in the past 4 decades is that there are so many laws abridging personal freedom of the <br />majority, that stem from the irresponsible few that don't take responsibility for their behavior. Laws shouldn't be <br />implemented when the stupid and drunkard members of society force more laws down our throats. Stop the <br />insanity! Stop protecting us. I feel like I'm in a straight jacket. <br />Regards <br />Barbara Wall <br />906 E Virginia Ave <br />Santa. Ana CA 92706 <br />May your day be calm and productive. <br />
