“M-80’s are a quarter stick of dynamite.”

Urban legend. Dynamite usually has a nitroglycerin based high explosive, but M-80s have a low explosive powder, like black powder.

Further, most M-80s are fake, consumer products. They usually have about 50 mg of powder versus the 2.5-3 grams that real M-80s have.

I think the real ones require a federal pyrotechnics license. The ones in the story are probably fakes ones anyone can buy at a fireworks stand.

“Anti-fa”= masked, fascist brown shirts

Search: `how to make black powder’ to find sites which show how to make your own fireworks safely for economical 4th of July celebrations.

Chemistry for Nerds, homemade fireworks, maybe like the ones the masked cowards are using, apparently with impunity,
Black powder:
75% saltpeter AKA `niter’ or potassium nitrate: sold in garden stores as “Stump Killer”
15% charcoal (Kingsford grilling briquettes); and
10% sulfur (soil additive to acidify soil: also sold in garden stores).
Or watch the Star Trek episode where Captain Kirk disables the Gorn captain. (Leave out the diamonds.)

Yeah, remember 2008 when we acted like spoiled brats/thugs because we didn’t get our way?/////

Our fellow patriots try to assemble peaceably in the Golden state to exercise our right to free speech but false flag, masked fascist cowards and bullies assault them while the police stand by.
It is against CA law for a lawbreaker to wear a mask to hide his/her identity, but here’s the rub: they know the law won’t pursue them. Lawless Berzerkely!

I saw some REAL M-80s used back in 1953. Now too powerful to be legal.
