Other counties and cities allow their residents to shoot off fireworks, cities such as Columbia and Jefferson City should too.

Because everyone should be able to celebrate. And if the city says no well they still do it anyways and cops dont enforce anything especially if they know who is shooting them off . But everyone should have them shot off by midnight to let people sleep cause they may have to work the next day .

No, there are other avenues to enjoy fireworks and I don't need to shoot them off to enjoy the holiday weekend.

There seems to be a large increase in crime in Columbia in the last several years and seems to be getting worse. The one crime that seems to be increasing the most is gun violence and shootings.
ReplyI trust CPD, but the closeness of shootings to the police headquarters is alarming, as it shows the brazenness of our local criminals. Looking forward to more lights downtown.
ReplyNot just downtown Columbia. Columbia as a whole. But people won't give info to CPD, and it's going to keep happening.
