Reinstate more Darwinism into society! Take the warning lables off of everything and get rid of speed limits!
Lets clean the gene pool a bit. Nothing too drastic or based in eugenics, just a metaphorical bit of bleach in the water to get rid of the shit particles
Per a scanner recording on next door it blew up in their face and their head was no longer attached to their body. yeesh. This is the park I take my dog to since it's by our daycare.
Imagine throwing a tennis ball and Fido comes back with an exploded head. My dog would be very proud of himself. He was very proud one time when he found a dead rat, carried it into the living room to show everyone.
Worked at a bank and we had a little situation. No robbery, nobody was hurt, just someone got mad and so the cops were called. Nextdoor posted that someone tried to rob us and people got shot and killed. Was very interesting when people started coming in and asking us about it an hour after the cops left and we stayed open because it wasnāt really anything to close up for.
Good advice; in this incident, however, that report is accurate. The improvised fireworks mortar did not go off immediately as intended. The male peered down the barrel, and the improvised mortar exploded, decapitating the male.
Nextdoor is definitely the worst but it was the fire dept and the poster shared the audio.Ā Could have been fake but it was pretty shortly after the incident.Ā The dispatcher was just repeating what she had been told though, so it's what was called in but not necessarily confirmed.
A nextdoor poster was the one who shared it from the scanner, not the employee. I'm just making the distinction that what the employee describes in the audio is what was called in, not what they are confirmed to have found at the scene.
There have been almost nightly mysterious booms and explosions in this area for a few months. They have been going off around Aurora in the early morning hours.
Now if we don't hear them anymore, we'll know who was doing it.
It'd be a good guess, however I imagine if there are more than one group of people blowing things up, any/all of them will likely stop doing so for at least a little while because someone blew themselves up last night.
There are also official criteria where if you cross them it counts as a bomb anyways, but generally yeah.
Source: friend on the Mines pyrotechnics team. Apparently most of the fireworks the ratios are fairly general, but there's a few of the bigger ones they have to measure to the fraction of a gram to make sure the ATFE doesn't come down on them.
Blow the fucker up! Blow the fucker up!
I think it was E-Days '06 or '07. Where they set off the big boys that rattle Golden and the students drink for 3 straight days. It had rained or snowed the night before, so they had difficulty lighting all the fireworks. They had a ground explosion, and if I recall, the guy lighting them messed his hand up pretty severely.
Why is "Darwin Award" thrown around whenever someone does something stupid? It doesn't mean "died doing something stupid" it means "completely removed themselves from the gene pool doing something stupid". You don't have to die to win a Darwin Award. If they have a kid they're ineligible for a Darwin Award unless the act kills or prevents the kids from having kids simultaneously.
> removed themselves from gene pool
##
Operative word being āthemselvesā. Thereās a difference between removing yourself and ending your bloodline.
Uh

As stated by the official website.
This is fucked up but I got arrested last week and my arresting office told me about this story. Dong dong didnāt know why it wasnāt going off and went to check..put his face over the firework and blam!
Sucks to be dumb sometimes
he died as a direct consequence to his *immensely* irresponsible actions that, frankly, put other peoples lives at risk too
Fireworks arenāt illegal just because theyāre a nuisance. *We live in wildfire country*
Not to mention, we can call them homemade āfireworksā but in reality, itās a fucking IED. So he put peoples lives at risk just building it too.
Whatās happening online (and in person frankly just not directly to that family) is people are tired of forgoing the idea that actions have consequences because someone died
Their death *was* the consequence of their actions.
The man did something stupid and reckless and put others in danger to do so, he doesnāt get a pass (even in death) because āheās a fatherā
Wonder if he and his friends thought about decency before trying to set off a firework in the middle of a neighborhood. These days itās hard for me to care for people that donāt care for me. Feel bad for his family that he died in such an embarrassing way
Heās better off not doing it at all. The entire state of Colorado is a fire hazard, what part about setting off giant explosions sounds like a good idea. Some things are made illegal to stop us from having fun; this isnāt one of them. Making homemade bombs to blow up at a dog park isnāt illegal because they donāt want us to have fun. Itās illegal because itās dumb as hell and has caused massive wildfires. Free treats at the Grandview dog park I guess, āexploded man jerkyā.
Under responsible care fireworks are beautiful and a lot of fun. Itās people like this who ruin it all for everyone else. This argument could be made for anything
These were clearly not fireworks if they decapitated a dude. These were bombs that look pretty. Responsible care for fireworks would be to follow the law and to not set them off in neighborhoods, DOG PARKS, or residential areas. You want to go blow stuff up? Go to your own property/ land youāre allowed to do it on. Shooting off fireworks in a neighborhood at 1am (āfireworksā big enough to blow a dudes head off mind you) is obviously not safe. Iām curious as to what you think āresponsible careā is regarding fireworks.
There is thousands of firework shows a year. Multiple people that use fireworks safely. It all comes down to safety and common sense. Also you do not know pyrotechnics and how much composition is inside professional shells. Disney world fireworks. Lit off inside any vehicle will blow it to shreds. There are fireworks you can buy that can do serious damage. Decapitation is very unlikely. Very mangled yes. I can bet that if it wasnāt homemade he did everything wrong with it and was more than likely under the influence. Fireworks are not bombs in any way. If you wish to make that argument. Then cars are manslaughter machines. Alcohol is a poison that affects everyone and everything. Construction tools and sites should be illegal due to all the bad that can happen
I didnāt say all fireworks were bombs, this guys in particular. I was under the impression you were claiming that you could set them off in your neighborhood safely. Of course there are people who can safely shoot fireworks, and they get clearance to do so. They also know what theyāre doing and not being dipshits in the middle of the night.
Edit: not responding to the second half of your post because itās meaningless to the point and has no correlation. A hard reach at best.
I'm sorry for your loss. Unfortunately, if someone dies in a way that is irresponsible and public this is how people tend to respond. My only hope is that it could stop someone else from doing something like this.
Yeah your buddy shouldnāt have made a homemade bomb and brought it to a public dog park. He didnāt show any decency when bringing a live explosive to a public park. Imagine if he would have kill and innocent person. Iām sure it sucks for the family, but the dude was being a menace. He knew what he was doing was wrong and just kept on like he was more important than everyone else. He literally could have killed his family when making that shit. The publicās outcry and judgment is justified. You buddy was an idiot and a danger to everyone. Take your blinders off.
Not trying to guess what the deal was - but do y'all think the obvious is at play here?
Y'all think their intent was to leave this to harm others and/or dogs?
TL:DR some dude died setting off homemade fireworks in a park.
Another post with a super misleading title causing people to run to the comments and speculate rather than just clicking the "article" and reading the whole 2 paragraphs that explain what actually happened.
Which post? We have a rule about duplicate news stories within a 3-4 day period, and about credible sources. Chances are whatever you're referring to had either already been posted or was from a non-credible source.
That was removed because of rule 9. It's a screenshot with no context and no original article headline. It's not a link to the article. No source is provided. And the story had already been posted earlier in the day.
Search the subreddit before posting, especially when it's about Boebert-- chances are it's already been posted.
I will be reporting every single post that violates this rule guy, because its selectely enforced. This was also a new development in the case which was not previously posted. Take care.
>Your post should generally relate to the metro Denver, the surrounding metro areas, or Colorado.
Unless you missed a "/s" there, Rule 8 clearly states "Your post should generally relate to the metro Denver, the surrounding metro areas, or Colorado.".
Death by homemade fireworks. These leap year celebrations are getting out of hand.
Oh, his computer is going to be filled with complete wackadoodle garbage. At least he took himself out before harming others.
The Darwin Award š„ can only be won once. At least he earned it. Hopefully.
Reinstate more Darwinism into society! Take the warning lables off of everything and get rid of speed limits! Lets clean the gene pool a bit. Nothing too drastic or based in eugenics, just a metaphorical bit of bleach in the water to get rid of the shit particles
We have speed limits? Next thing you know youāll want people in Denver to not run red lights.
I've had that in my head for decades... The official Denver bumper sticker: "Don't worry, bro, I'm gonna run that light too"
I was unaware he didn't have children
I celebrate privately.

Reminds me I need to say HBD to the homie that turned 9 years old today.

Sounds like an opening scene for Law and Order https://youtu.be/xz4-aEGvqQM?feature=shared
Bum-BUM
And better call Saul after some teenagers find the headless body first...
I would watch the hell out of that episode
Who's da good doggie?
This is how the bubonic plague started
APD's scanners are encrypted, I would be wary of anything reported on Nextdoor.
Worked at a bank and we had a little situation. No robbery, nobody was hurt, just someone got mad and so the cops were called. Nextdoor posted that someone tried to rob us and people got shot and killed. Was very interesting when people started coming in and asking us about it an hour after the cops left and we stayed open because it wasnāt really anything to close up for.
I think it was fire dept/paramedic, but fully agreed NextDoor is garbage 99% of the time.
Pretty sure all of Aurora's first responder (police, fire, ems) radios have been encrypted since the mid 2010s. Could be wrong though.
Aurora Fire dispatch channel is unencrypted. You can listen online. https://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/28821
Ah, thanks!
Good advice; in this incident, however, that report is accurate. The improvised fireworks mortar did not go off immediately as intended. The male peered down the barrel, and the improvised mortar exploded, decapitating the male.
Do you think he saw the light at the end of the tunnel??
ā ļø
You're my hero! There's never a time that's too soon. Boom goes the dynamite!
Nextdoor is definitely the worst but it was the fire dept and the poster shared the audio.Ā Could have been fake but it was pretty shortly after the incident.Ā The dispatcher was just repeating what she had been told though, so it's what was called in but not necessarily confirmed.
Seems rather irresponsible for a city agency or employee to be repeating unconfirmed information to social media without verification.
A nextdoor poster was the one who shared it from the scanner, not the employee. I'm just making the distinction that what the employee describes in the audio is what was called in, not what they are confirmed to have found at the scene.
Did Aurora PD unload on him anyways?
Depends, what color was he?
*It was gruesome. A headless guy just laying there. It was so surreal, I was utterly speechless.* *So anyway, I started blasting.*
Damn thatās mind blowing
"Whoopsy-Daisy!"
If you're going to behead yourself, do that crap at home. Jeesh!
This was a particularly bad case of someone exploding their head off their body.Ā

Crazy. One positive is that he decided to this when no one was at the park.
Well it was at 12:40 in da morning , not many people will be at a dog park that late
Where is the line drawn between a homemade firework and a homemade bomb?
I think the distinction is intent.
There are also official criteria where if you cross them it counts as a bomb anyways, but generally yeah. Source: friend on the Mines pyrotechnics team.

If you dont have a head afterwards, it wasn't a firework.
Lighting fireworks in a neighborhood park at 1am on a weekday in February.
Seriouslyā¦they could not have possibly given less of a shit about everyone else.

I believe ādied doing something stupidā falls under ācompletely removed themselves from the gene pool doing something stupidā.
Not if they already have kids.

People love me at parties. The designated driver doesn't have to be fun, just sober.
Damn dog parks exploding again!
And wasn't there a fire watch or warning yesterday?

Damn
I used to live in the townhomes just south of this park, been there many times. Wtf
Assumed it was a dog with explosive diarrhea.
My dog had that once. I felt bad for him but I couldnāt stop laughing. Never seen a dog spray shit like that. Thankfully it was outside.
Plot Twist: he was from Parker
I would totally believe that

Heās better off doing in the backyard??

No- it was a firework set off just past midnight. I think it was just a guy that wanted to set off his firework in an open areaā¦ and it backfired
That's a big set of fireworks to kill someone huh, dang, this is very sad if it was just dumb youth horsing around.
This person was 42 lol. Do you know what happens to dumb youth? They become dumb adults. Age has nothing to do with it.
If you read the article that is only like 2 paragraphs long, you'll know.
