Boston Resident Arrested for Celebratory Fire

New York, USA: An Iraqi American man was arrested last night by the Boston Police Department following game six of the NBA finals between the Boston Celtics and the L.A. Lakers. Police said that Jabbar al-Haidari fired 12 bullets into the air in celebration of the Celtics' victory. Pivazistan's New York correspondent was able to get in touch with al-Haidari's family by phone who seemed angry at the arrest, saying "these people need to know the difference between celebratory fire and real fire." Elaine Driscoll, a spokesperson for the Boston Police Department, in an email to Pivazistan said, "if you wanna do these types of things, not for nothing but you should get the fuck our of this country."
