Shots fired or fireworks? The 2014 version


Since the beginning of Everyblock, net-neighbors have gone online to announce to their fellow Everyblockheads, of not knowing the difference between "shots fired" and "fireworks."

Here's one.

Here's another in 2012.

Here's another one.

And another.

Point being. Are these Everyblockheads just bored - with nothing better to do all day than argue with each other, if the sound they thought they heard was "shots fired" or "fireworks?"

It's an endless display of human stupidity in action.

Maybe if these numb-nut anonymous people would get out in the real world and actually hear a gun-shot, or hear some fireworks, maybe even hear the sound of a whizzing bullets fly by them, then they wouldn't be so trigger happy on their keyboard arguing the sounds of life in Rogers Park.

But then, that would require dodging bullets, too.  Maybe it's safer hiding in the basement asking questions about the sounds going on outside.

Maybe these anonymous Everyblockers just don't feel safe on the 49th Ward streets?

Last night heard fireworks off in the distance, checked the police scanner on my site and sure enough calls to police regarding "shots fired", the dispatcher was very matter a fact about it, and everyone agreed it was fireworks, but they checked it out anyways,

You would think Americans would know the difference with all the action movies we watch.
