Allen Ray McGrew, 41, was found laying in the road. He put a firework on his head, and it exploded while on his head, causing massive head injuries, officials said.

His wife, Paige McGrew, said her husband had been drinking since 6 p.m.

See, Florida? It’s not just you. Americans get drunk and do insanely stupid shit everywhere else in the country too.

    Dumbass, or Darwin award winner, or whatever he might be called, yeah he was just some dude who did some dumb shit he’s probably done before or seen someone do before. This time it just went bad. There is a malignant complacency in American culture surrounding fireworks, these are explosive materials that are constantly disrespected. I’ve done it, I’ve seen it done, it is very common in the US. I really feel for this guys family, could very easily have been mine at one point in time.
