It was illegal aliens. John McCain told me so.
Sure, I'll just blame the Mexicans. It's the Arizona way.
Right now Jan Brewer's quickly hiding the state's firefighting funds so she can beg the Fed for free money to line her pockets.
Didn't he realize that those headless bodies strewn about the trails are extremely flammable?
I wondered why I was seeing midwest-style "fireworks tents" going up in Phoenix. There just aren't words for how stupid this is.
For the good of the planet, that guy should have been killed,
If it is wildfire-ravaged, then sure. No more fuel.

Eh, most of it was like that when we got there...

Banning things because morans exist isn't the solution to things.
Consumer fireworks? Heavens no. I only light off the finest 3 megaton professional fireworks on my holidays!
My Arizona city has banned the use fireworks within city limits. So what does one do? One can go to the supermarkets and drug stores and Targets and Walmarts and the fireworks stands within the city limits and buy them. Who goes to the stores? City residents. Hurr durr!!
Helloooooooooooooo....

That's why we should ban morans... DUH!

It's not because morans exist, it's because there's essentially no safe way to use a flying incendiary device in Arizona during the dryest part of the year. If you don't have your own off-road capable fire department, you shouldn't be allowed to set off fireworks.

There are limits. Banning really really really dangerous things because morans exist is a good idea.

So, you have two options.....
A) Go light em off in Gilbert
B) Go light em off in a county island. Tons of em around

Or, another way to say it:
"Celebrate the independence of your nation by blowing up a small part of it. "

Fireworks in arizona aren't allowed to "fly".....
Well, there is. But most morans don't know about it
We should just ban fire. All fire. If we could only ban lightning we wouldn't have any problems.
Mr. McCain, when did Arizona let illegals start buying consumer fireworks? ? ?

Yes, but you can buy them here. And the article refers to them as "flaming projectiles," so he either had flying fireworks, or was throwing them.

I am probably thinking of the California style fireworks that are just cardboard tubes that shoot off sparks in a localized area. You just have a hose ready and put them in a bucket of water after they are done.
Now those mortor shells, and roman candles that actually fly large distances, then yes I can totally see banning those.
They should really take a hard stance and say no to whistlin' bungholes, no spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker don'ts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistlin' kitty chasers
I think that's already been done. It usually starts in may and runs through the summer.
No, no you can't buy them here.
All the tents sell are cardboard tubes that shoot out sparks. No projectiles of any kinds are legal for sale within the state.
So, either he didn't buy them here, or the story/witnesses are incorrect.

Camping without a campfire sucks. At least they still let us walk around freely. Mostly.

I'm not a lawyer, but Arizona's law as amended last year appears to include an exemption for the sale of non-permitted fireworks that are to be taken out of state. I assumed this was the same as similar provisions in the midwest-- you can sell anything up to and including giant mortars, they're just not legal to *use* here.
Also, to add to your "didn't buy them here or witnesses are wrong" choice, we still have the possibility that he was throwing the stupid things.
Joseph Viganola of New Jersey told officers that he was hiking the trail with a group of his friends when he decided to light consumer fireworks he had purchased.
Ah, that explains it. Firework probably ignited the axe body spray can he had in his bag as he pretended to be a real man for a day.

I'm down. I vote for The Bikini Lounge to be the spot.

I backpack and camp in the summer here, and I can assure you that there is no way you'd want a campfire. Warmth is not an issue. Camping without a campfire in, say... October in Kentucky would suck. It's 110F already. You don't need or want a fire. And I'm getting tired of carrying extra water so I've got enough to extinguish the ones I find.
Any person that willfully lights fireworks in a known dry area prone to fires should be tied to wooden board, surrounded by fireworks/gasoline, and pushed into the center of a large lake. I would then want the Fire Marshall to shoot roman candles at the raft until one connected and the entire thing goes up in a blaze of safe, colorful glory.

I wish you would let up on Jan. It wasn't easy for her growing up in Marcia's shadow and living in a house without a toilet.

I think there's a good chance we could get that passed in the next legislative session.

No but it does a great job in preventing forest fires being created by fireworks.
/fires created by illegals or lightning strikes...not so much
/we should outlaw lightning in Arizona

I live in the north end of the state, and I can confirm that "New Joisey" is just a myth.
This malapropism is actually based off of a Brooklyn accent, while we here in the northern counties speak with a New Jersey accent indistinguishable from accents from Southern New Jersey, Eastern Pennsylvania or Delaware, as well as most of Southern New York.
Perhaps this is due to the fact that the ancestors of many citizens of the northern part of the state (Bergen County, Sussex, Hudson, etc) first immigrated to Brooklyn. My ancestors arrived in Brooklyn from Belarus, and I know that many other people of Southern or Eastern European descent living in this part of the state can trace their families back to Brooklyn.
Edit: Kozzm gives a very thorough explanation of the vowel mutation that occurred in the formation of the stereotypical "New York accent".
