VIENNA — An Austrian court has convicted a man for killing his in-laws by setting them on fire with a homemade flame-thrower.

Pure propane has nothing to gum things up and is cheaper.

That’s true. Even the original formula right guard w/o powder, fancy scents, etc. leaves some residue behind in the cannon.

As a pure, small, easy to carry flame thrower, though, it’s hard to beat those little cans of ether.

I’m okay with mine.

My grandfather fought in WWII and carried a BAR in the Pacific and was a 6'3” 200 lb Marine.

He said “if the Japanese had flamethrowers I would have quit.”

He said he never had seen anything quite like a human being burnt alive inside a machine gun bunker.

Did they just stand there as he fired it up?

Both were 84 years old. One had no legs. But at 84 I don't think outrunning him was an option for either of them.

The very existence of flamethrowers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, “You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I’m just not close enough to get the job done.”
