Probably because that is where they live and they don't want to go out and trespass to shoot off fireworks. They should be able to shoot them off from their home.

Another thing that pisses me off: In our neighborhood, there's a little lake at the foot of my street. Actually, it's too small to be called a lake, but too big to be called a pond. Anyway, These yahoos went down there and shot off all these fireworks and didn't pick up any of their remnants. So now the side of the lake is strewn with all these burned out fountains and roman candles and blown up firecrackers. It's a mess. Clean up after yourselves, yahoos. Otherwise its no more than common littering.

Heh, my wife and I had a good laugh over this one. I've got some family that's always complaining about never having any money.....yet on the 4th, they posted pics on FB bragging about the hundreds of dollars of fireworks they just lit off.

Yes they should, perhaps they did it to get back at a certain self admitted grumpy old man. Why don't you stand on the porch and yell at them next time? Seems like you didn't enjoy the fireworks show, you might enjoy that.

Either way if you are this grumpy in person I would just be cognizant of the potential for burning bags of poo on your front porch.
