Huge fucking fireworks display at People’s Park in Bray currently scaring the shit out of our poor dog.

Fuck these people.

Aral Balkan

Called the gardai: “Yeah we can see it on the cameras … it’s Halloween”

Me: “So fireworks are legal on Halloween?”

Garda: “No they’re not”

Oh, well, thank fuck we cleared that up then.

@aral a local group of teens made a bonfire in the local park... Which won't scare dogs or young kids, but it's potentially more dangerous.
Fireworks are almost daily from now until new year 🤷‍♀️
We don't have a dog anymore, and luckily our autistic kids like them (luckily because they're going to happen anyway, and otherwise it could lead to meltdowns) but nevertheless, very insensitive.

@aral I once had a conversation with the Belgian police who were standing on the entrance to the football stadium, which also served as the field of our youth movement. (Actually, it was the other way around but K. Lierse. SK bribed the exact right people to do whatever they wanted).

In any case: picture children aged 6-18 playing together while football 'fans' were pissing on the terrain they were using. 1/

@aral I told the politics about what was happening. Their response; 'We're not allowed to leave, can help you out'.

Morale of the story; the police doesn't serve the public and laws don't mean anything. Also: fuck kids, the hooligans can do whatever they want. 2/2
