I was so shocked to see the video on TV last night. Whoever did this needs locking up - they could have killed the family. Best wishes to Mr Dinh and his wife and son. I hope they stand their ground and stay on.

When i said that fireworks should be banned,somebody said why????Surely when things like this happen year on year and kids get badly burned each year.And yet we still have people who want to keep selling fireworks to these idiots...Im glad that you and your family are safe..

It took balls to give out the door the way he did - respect. Crazy situation.

I hope they catch whoever did this - what sense do some people have??

I see the fear on this families face and shudder to think that some people in britain actually back keeping the sale of fireworks,When we have people who abuse them.and intimidate a young family like these.IF YOUR READING THIS LETTER YOU ARE A DISGUSTING CREEP.Not worthy of calling a human being when you know that people were in that shop.When caught you should be charged with attempted MURDER nothing less.

Organised fireworks displays are great. Misuse of fireworks by cruel irresponsible people can be terrifying, especially old people and animals. The only way to stop fireworks getting into the hands of thugs is to ban the sale of them to the general public and leave the displays in the capable hands of organisers.Sign a petition to stop the public sale of fireworks at:

I just hope that they catch the daft B------ When they do shove one down his trousers.

Yes! I agree with Comrade ace.

Absolute pure evil scum - I hope if the police do catch them the punishment fits the crime but it probably won't. It'll be the usual smack on the wrist & bleeding hearts for the poor disenchanted little lamb. The ordinary law abiding tax paying citizens in this country need to stand against scum like this because it's no use waiting for the politicians they're too busy coming up with ways of dealing with smokers, motorists & litter-droppers. This country has gone to the dogs.

The scroats who misuse fireworks like this stupid pratt and the other child/adult pratts misusing should be severely dealt with NOT the sensible majority of people like myself who buy and let off fireworks carefully for friends and family. Sorry Ace but I DON'T subscribe to YOUR dogooding health and safety nutter views and your killjoy notion and your spoilsport mentality that fireworks should be banned from the general public's freedom to buy and enjoy. Govt ministers are NOT going to ban the sale and use of British Standard 7114 retail garden and display fireworks from the public because they realise that when used sensibly and properly they CAN be a safe source of fun and entertainment, also they too believe that a ban would lead to the trade going underground and a healthy blackmarket in the sales and use of unclassified dangerous non-BS7114 compliant imported fireworks. Your yearly sob stories of kids crying and screaming because they have been burned through fireworks misuse doesn't wash with me and I think it is total twaddly RUBBISH;in this I blame parents who are willing to let their kids misuse fireworks and/or who give children fireworks to misuse, and I also blame Govt for not putting powers within retail firework licensing and registration legislation to confiscate stocks from retailers of fireworks who are willing to flout the laws on selling to under 18's(trading standards already have the power to refuse licencing and registration to retailers convicted of breaking the under18 sales law on fireworks so this proposal I make would even further punish the shopowners who think nothing of selling fireworks to under18's),and I blame the inadequacies of the law in not taking firm action and a harder draconian line against parents of firework-misusing children and the kids themselves;I would jail NOT fine parents of firework-misusing kids and take away their benefits from them and I would lock their kids up in secure care.

The person who committed this reprehensible act needs punishing very harshly.

We should not ban fireworks though. I have just spent £600 on some for a party that I am having tomorrow night and am looking forward to having louder one's than my friends. A volley of £2k worth of fireworks will please my neighbours as they get a free firework display.

What is the point to set fireworks off in broad daylight?

Definately think parents should take more responsibility for their childrens actions, especially with potential 'weapons' such as fireworks.
