Here to stop the flow of illegal fireworks into Springfield and bring the Bottle Rocket Barons to their knees.

|
Well, that'll be nice. They're kind of a nuisance.
|

Nuisance? You call sporadic incidents of mild to moderate noise pollution a NUISANCE?

Reach for the sky, Nahasapeemapetilon! I know you're the gunpowder-drunk mastermind of this fireworks racket!
|

|
Come clean -- you're the one they call the Rocket Rajah. The Bengal Blaster. Pyrotechnic 'Pu.
|
|
|
I see. Because of my ethnicity and name, you assume this person must be me. That, sir, is profiling!
|

I'm an old-timey cop. Profiling is ninety percent of my skill set.

I've just found an old town law from 1803 which expressly permits "the sale and detonation of pyrotechnic devices for one month following June 4."
|
|
|
What's so special about the Fourth of June?
|
|
|
June 4th was King George III of England's birthday.
|
|
|
Springfield was the only town in the nation that voted 182 times to return to British rule.

It would seem that the bell has been transported through time, I deduce-
