New York Post ^

A nut with a flamethrower hopped on top of an MTA bus and torched the air above as onlookers filmed and cheered — sparking outrage at the MTA and among police unions who say the bizarre display is the latest sign of urban decay.

The wild incident unfolded around 5:30 p.m. Nov. 8 on Putnam Avenue at the intersection with Franklin Avenue in Bed-Stuy, the MTA confirmed.

Videos posted to social media show an unknown man on top of an ice cream truck before leaping to the roof of the B26 bus that had stopped at the intersection.

Urban Decay?

Might be Urban Renewal. If there was ever a place long overdue for twice daily disinfectant from fire and chemicals, it's New York City.

This individual needs to be hired on by the Health Department.

It should be open season on any rioter with a flamethrower.

No daily or possession limit.

About a dozen were trying real hard to win the Darwin award.

They were taking pictures with their cell phones well within range of the flame thrower.

A nut with lose screws and flamethrower, what could go wrong?

Are we anywhere near rock bottom yet?

We just passed "Rise of the Planet of the Apes."

Next stop, "Rock Bottom."

For those who are defending stores and other property from looters they would be a supreme deterrent, likely even more so than a display of firearms.

Man, if that was filmed live, I would not have wanted to be involved with that stunt in any way, shape, or form.

Flammenwerfern be dangerous.

The English and Germans found some good uses for them 1914 - 1918.

Then, he jumps off the bus and falls down.

He almost fell into the fire.

I wonder if he’s related to “High Stepper”, the guy who lit his shoes on fire?

“sparking outrage at the MTA and among police unions who say the bizarre display is the latest sign of urban decay.”

I just saw a news story that a Newark NJ cop was hurt in a hit-and-run - by an ATV. These northeastern cities are just reverting to the wild places the current imported inhabitants left behind. The lack of American homesteaders is really showing...
