We all say things when we're angry, right? Doesn't mean he's racist.

If I call the lady who almost ran into me yesterday a white bitch, does that make me racist?
wait, I think it does.

I agree with @EADC . If pops and lights amuses your small mind you should go blow it away from others. It shouldn't be done in a residential area.

And you're clearly a huge lover of it...even when not used.

Ramlall said some of the “white people and their children” were terrified and left. The man allegedly also tried to push Ramlall’s wife Rekha and assault her brother, well-known lawyer Ajay Sooklal.

Why did they attend Diwali, curiosity? I guess they all live in the same complex, so... was their permission to have the celebration? It is ultimately the city and body corporate which must give allow the activity within the legal spectrum.

Race this, race that. Get it on a recording.

"Some People" have waaay too many rules for what you should do on YOUR property.

I am sure you complain about many things which don’t suit your views, culture and traditions.

Confine the sound to your property then

You can do on your property whatever you want, it's when it influences others that it crosses a line. And loud bangs that scares the sht out of animals crosses that line.

Joburg bylaws state they can between 7pm to 10pm. In the article they stated the start time, so they were not doing anything wrong. Assuming Tshwane bylaws are similar...

Pretty sure @EADC was being sarcastic, going purely on his post history.

My personal opinion though is **** idiots who think that loud bangs and sparkly lights are entertaining.

Its still not cool just because the by laws bow to "my religion" doesn't mean I have to sit through a ****ing war zone.

Its festival of lights not festival of trying to recreate Vietnam

Also depends on the rules of the complex, I get an e-mail letter every year stating that fireworks are banned anywhere inside our estate.
