Who Needs Zeros...

...when all you need to close things down at a harbor is an M-80? [Read]

If the antis act as they typically do, we'll see this used to go after the tame "Safe and Sane" fountains and the like that some California cities allow over Independence Day...over the hysterical objections of twitchy, tight-@$$ed anti-freedom zealots.

I'll bet with a launcher and 15 Bird Bombs a person could shut down the whole city. Not that I'm advising anyone to do so.

They'd be pinching loaves if someone were to do what I did as a kid.

You take an M-80 and stick a lit cigarette on it as a timed fuse. Short cigarette, short timer, full length, long timer.

Set those in various places and you're gone to a reasonably remote viewing location to watch the reaction to the noise.

Based on this story, the reaction these days is much better than when I was a teenager (in the sixties).
