Gun Shots at 4:15am

Whynot,

Are you posts specifically designed to wander off topic and contribute inaccurate information or is that just a by-product of you liking to hear yourself talk?

What? Huh? Pardon?

I'm sure you get that a lot whynot.. but I have no idea what you're talking about - rarely do.

It's really strange to me how differently brooklyian and FIPS handled this story.

Brooklyninan quickly jumped to, what I think we can all agree on now, are flat out wrong assumptions about gunshots. The thread is littered with comments like "assuming they were gunshots". What a FOX Newsistic way to assert a falsehood without the burden of standing beside it.

While Brooklynian does maintain a level of intelligence and rational thought it is far out shadowed by some sort of adult onset angst. The whole 911 conversation mixed with the "drunk shots gun at meteor" is comical on the surface, but sadly inward looking and isolationist.

The FIPS article/comments on the other hand are accurate. They are correct. Simple. And appreciated.

Read the FIPS thread and it looks like the major difference is that someone on that board was actually on the same block as the fireworks and able to respond to the question while everyone here was far enough away to say "that's what it sounded like to me, as well" and no one posted with any information that contradicted those views. It sounded like gunshots to the people who posted here. Why that is a reflection of "adult onset angst" as opposed to the result of the way sound travels over some distance is beyond me.

"Angst, adult onset" is not listed in the DSM IV as a recognized condition on Axis I even as a "V Code", so a licensed mental health practitioner can not legally diagnose it or treat it. The DSM V will be out soon. Maybe it will be in there.

However, I think we are getting off topic. Does anyone know when Park Slope is expect to have late night fire works again?

....are they going to have fireworks again on New Years Eve?

You are not going to help me out regarding the fireworks?

All this jabber, and I can't find out when people will be woken up again?

Caused by the internet?

Do you think the people writing the DSM V are ready to allow people to diagnose based on something that has only been around for 10 years?

Mama, until pretty recently the DSM classified homosexuality as a disease, and there have been perfectly functional homosexual people since the beginning of humanity.

I do not think it is reasonable to expect them to create a diagnosis as a result of the internet, not even an Axis II personality disorder.

We are supposed to be talking about fireworks!

Whoa, no need to wait for New Years. Veterans Day it is.

Looks like our pyro person was at it again. Heard 5 reports starting at 4am.

I hope you people call the cops this time!!!

Now that we have a general vicinity of where these fireworks are going off, next time it goes off I'll be calling 911.
