State police say Devon Staples of Calais was killed in what they described as a "bizarre" accident around 10 p.m. Saturday while drinking with friends and setting off fireworks at one of their homes on South Street.

The title makes it seem like a police officer is the one who died doing this.

But yeah that sucks for sure. who does that though? It's never even remotely crossed my mind to set a firework off the top of my head. I barely mess with sprinklers. Granted I live in California and it's illegal in my county. I know a lot of other parts around the country allow all sorts of fireworks.

From what I read his friends urged him not to do it but he did it anyway. This is why fireworks shouldn't be legal. It's mostly drunks using them. I wish they weren't legal here.

Yeah and most of these people have absolutely no regard for anyone else around them or whether or not they can start a fire or not. I'm sure some are being safe, but most are not.

I feel sorry for this kids family. It's sad but it could have been prevented. Saw an update on the news yesterday that he actually lit it upside down, so instead of it going up towards the sky, it was actually rocketed back down on his head.

From the sound of it, it seems more like alcohol shouldn't be legal.
