It was a Molotov cocktail and I’ve been saying this all day but I’ve been ignored. Antifa were torching a nearby auto business and when they threatened the kid and he didn’t back down, one of them (I saw the video early this morning) threw a Molotov cocktail, which didn’t hit him and actually went out once it hit the ground. Gasoline is a liquid, so what burns is the fumes, and they obviously hadn’t made their device correctly.
It was then that he began to run and they pursued him.
find and post that video if you can
