Definition: Given a real-life anecdote of a complex ethical situation, generate a suitable title that describes the main event/root cause of the situation. Imagine that the given text is a social media post, and you have to write the title of the post, so the users can decide to read the main text or not.
Input: As background, I have dogs that are terrified of loud noises, and I have a sensory issue with loud sudden noises that causes significant discomfort.

- Our neighborhood is on the outskirts of town. It is legal to discharge fireworks here.

- Our neighborhood is under an HOA, which forbids fireworks.

- Our neighbors throughout the neighborhood literally set off thousands of fireworks. We’re not talking the little stuff. We’re talking nice professional quality fireworks.

- This is the suburbs, and there is very little space between houses. The fireworks were set off in driveways  and in the streets. Cleanup was attempted, but not thorough. I have several components of expended fireworks now littering my yard.

The drama here starts as so many do on Facebook. My wife made a post lamenting the fireworks in the neighborhood. We were told it’s normal around here and that we should have done our research and avoided the area if it was a problem. In our defense, we read through the HOA agreement, saw they were banned, and didn’t worry about it.

My concern is selfish. I hate having my animals scared shitless, I would like to sleep in a way that supports my odd schedule, and I have severe discomfort around loud noises due to a neurological issue. I feel like I should be able to remain relatively safe from things in my home, but the fireworks in the street in front of and behind my house made this impossible.

In addition, it pisses me off that we have several severely autistic kids in our large neighborhood, as well as a ton of veterans. A couple of whom definitely suffer PTSD, though I don’t know the specifics.

The Facebook comments became quite rude, telling us to “fucking leave if we don’t like it,” and to “quit being pussies and enjoy the holiday.” The death threats were obviously a joke, but not appreciated.

After reading through pages of comments, I made the (what I believed to be obviously tongue-in-cheek) comment (pulling from memory here) “I am glad to see so many people are so welcoming of loud noises in the neighborhood. Since it’s not technically illegal, I’m sure they wouldn’t have a problem with me setting up a shooting target in my back yard or hunting the deer and pig around the edges of the neighborhood. Who has an empty grill? I’ll bring the meat!”

I realized this could be taken wrong and deleted it less than a minute later. Someone then paraphrased it completely wrong saying I said I was going to start shooting in the neighborhood, and someone else asked them to send a report to the police. I actually wish I hadn’t deleted the comment now so that anyone interested could see exactly what was said instead of relying on the memory of someone that wants me out of the neighborhood.

I absolutely shouldn’t have engaged, and I really wish my wife hadn’t started it on Facebook, but am I the asshole here? It seems the entire community page thinks we should be kicked out of our house for saying no one should set off fireworks inside the neighborhood.
