As was said, sad for the kids but mom was obviously a moron. Did she deserve flares to the face, no but I really hope they don't try more BS bashing on fireworks.

BTW: Love how here in MD we aren't allowed to have fireworks that shoot into the air, however at two OFFICIAL events on the 4th, people were injured. In once case mortars went off on the ground and in the other it fired into 1000 people watching.
The type of firework device they showed on CNN's video looked like one of these badass looking box o' mortars. She didn't just look and hover over one mortar tube but 24! Do you think they're going to sue the party store they got them from? You bet. I cut myself on a knife so I'm going to sue Wustof. I shot myself when I looked down the barrel of my loaded Sig Sauer pistol. Sue!

Took the words right out of my mouth. Feel sorry for the family though.

Fireworks were invented in China so it must be some good sh!t. There's no accounting for "user error".

Just cause you invent gunpowder (centuries ago) doesn't mean you know how to use it

What we need to do is have the US design the fireworks then have Japan re-engineer them
