Illegal fireworks negatively affecting Carson residents: ‘I think it's not going to stop'
Warning: The video above contains flashing lights. Viewer discretion is advised. The city of Carson earlier this year made the use, sale and discharge of fireworks illegal within the community, but the new policy doesn't seem to be stopping people from putting on their own fireworks shows. The ordinance, passed by the city council in March, makes it so that the public display of fireworks must be put on by a pyrotechnic operator with a permit. That includes sparklers, smoke bombs and fireworks designated as 'safe and sane.' Those who are not in possession of the permit could face fines and possibly a misdemeanor conviction; the fines are $2,000 for the first violation, $3,000 for the second violation (within a year of the first violation) and $5,000 for each additional violation after that. All fines are increased by 10% if not paid or appealed within 15 days of the issuance of date. Any unpaid fines will accrue 10% interest each year. Mural depicting Kobe and Gigi Bryant in Los Angeles vandalized again Those penalties, part of the 'You Light It, We Cite It' campaign, are not appearing to stop some residents from lighting off fireworks. Video recently taken by local residents and shared with KTLA shows an elaborate fireworks display over the neighborhood. According to one woman, the fireworks are 'disturbing.' '[The fireworks have] been very loud…they shake the house and they wake and scare the kids,' one resident, Lia Flores, said. 'Hearing them cry and then not be able to get back to bed is a problem. We have been here for five years now, and we have experienced this multiple times.' Area residents told KTLA that they believe local businesses are renting out space in warehouse parking lots for groups of people to light off the fireworks. Those businesses don't have any issues paying the fines, residents say. And while city officials say the increased penalties were put into place to protect people and animals who could be traumatized by the loud explosions, neighbors say there just isn't enough enforcement. Girl, 4, allowed to stay in U.S. for lifesaving care after deportation controversy 'It can last for 10 minutes or up to half an hour,' said Joanne, another Carson resident. 'I ask my husband to call 911 because I think it's not going to stop.' 'It's not right, especially at night,' she continued. 'The city needs to do something about it.' Carson residents are reminded that they can anonymously report firework activity to the city's public safety department; however, with the Fourth of July a month away, the complaints may continue to pile up as the night sky lights up due to the illegal fireworks displays.

‘A part of my soul was stolen from me': Emotions run high as Dana Chandler is sentenced in 2002 double-murder case
WESTMORELAND (KSNT) – Dana Chandler learned her fate this week after being convicted in the 2002 killings of Karen Harkness and Mike Sisco. Judge Cheryl Rios in Westmoreland delivered Chandler's sentence on Tuesday, June 3. The sentencing, which lasted for a few hours, included appearances from the children and friends of Sisco and Harkness who delivered emotional witness impact statements. 'Have you ever been so terrified of someone that your heart races? That you stop breathing? That your muscles tense up?' Hailey Seel, Chandler's daughter, said. 'You can imagine how it happened if you saw a ghost, or a monster under your bed, or a horror movie monster or a killer. For me, that's for my mom.' 'She loved her students tremendously': Topeka teacher killed in Highway 24 crash Chandler held a piece of paper to the left side of her face for much of the sentencing. At one point, she accused Rios of displaying behavior 'unbecoming of a judge' while Seel was still delivering her victim impact statement. 'I have my paper on my face because I choose not to be made a spectacle of,' Chandler said. Seel, as she finished delivering her statement, asked Rios to be lenient with her mother's sentencing if Chandler confessed and displayed remorse. 'I would ask that you have mercy on her,' Seel said. 'I'm humble enough today to recognize that my guilt is deserving of death just as much as hers.' Erin Sutton, a child of Harkness, asked Rios to punish Chandler for 2002 killings. She asked for two life sentences without the possibility of parole for Chandler before talking about how Harkness' death has impacted her. 'My mom's absence has left an unfillable hole in my heart and in my family,' Sutton said. 'A part of my soul was stolen from me.' Man arrested again in connection to killing 35-year-old Topeka local in 2022 Rios sentenced Chandler to two life sentences for the deaths of Sisco and Harkness. She must serve at least 25 years before she is eligible for parole. Chandler's sentencing marks the end of her third trial for the deaths of Harkness and Sisco. Sisco, Chandler's estranged husband, was found dead alongside Harkness, his fiancé, in their bed together in 2002 after they were shot multiple times. For more crime news, click here.
