Last two years we watched fireworks from home, so we went to see the fireworks yesterday at the park about 2.5 miles away from our house. I drove around the park but didn’t get any parking, so I double parked on a street next to the park and took a quick video (linked below) of the fireworks. 

It is very dangerous nowadays to go to any public gatherings because of the mass shootings taking place around the country. A gunman shot and killed 7 people and injured another 46 people attending an independence parade in Highland Park, Illinois. There have been over 300 mass shooting incidents this year. 

After coming back from the fireworks my wife told me she was very scared because she knew about the shooting incident. We usually avoid public gatherings and because of these shootings we will try not to attend any public event at all. Sadly we are not leaving a better country/world for our future generations.
