I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Anyone intelligent enough to construct a *proper* Molotov cocktail isn’t the sort of person to actually use one.
That’s why they’re almost never made competently: Every Molotov I’ve ever seen taken from a riot scene is one that either failed to ignite when thrown, or was one that wounded the would-be Molotov thrower when they attempted to use it.
Both ghastly and comical, the Molotov cocktail is almost always the weapon of those who are ghastly at science, chemistry, and elementary craftsmanship. I’m speaking of idiots here. Only Eastern European collegians seem to know what they’re doing in making and using them.
Well though understandable what you wrote...there were Molotov’s thrown in Ferguson and they did work.
