ST. LOUIS • A 70-year-old woman was driving to church Sunday morning when three men pulled up alongside her in a Monte Carlo with Illinois plates, according to Dionne Flowers, alderwoman from the city's 2nd Ward. "What's up OG, don't get too hot," the passenger in the back seat said before hurling a Molotov cocktail into the woman's SUV, according to Flowers, who spoke to police and people who were at the scene. It exploded, and fire torched the inside of the woman's car. She managed to escape with no injuries with the aid of Larry Middlebrook, a St. Louis Second Ward Democratic committeeman who lives near the site of the explosion at Riverview Boulevard and Orchid Avenue, Flowers said. The woman wanted to go back in to save her Bible, but Middlebrook stopped her. St. Louis city police confirmed Sunday night that they were called to that location at 10:45 a.m. for a fire, that an object was thrown into the woman's car and that the woman was not injured. The bomb and arson unit was investigating. Flowers said there were three men in the car about 20 to 25 years old, and the man who threw the cocktail had short braided hair. The explosion happened near the Our Lady of the Holy Cross' picnic, which Flowers was attending, so she managed to get a picture of the SUV as it was being towed away. "This is just something that I would want to know about. It could've been anybody," Flowers said.

Notice that the reporter makes sure we know the political party of the man who rescued her.
Molotov Cocktail...the local drink.
Good publicity for Democrats, huh
“Molotov Cocktail...the local drink.”
Maybe Granny wasn’t dancin’ right.
Random act of violence or are they trying to intimidate someone ..maybe for some perceived slight?
My bad :)
Was that braided hair red or blond?

Hmmmm ..?? Maybe it pays to keep your windows up and your doors locked.
I drive my family members whacko by such demands; but the alternative is being car-jacked or having something thrown into your car.
Believe me .. they were looking for a car with the windows open .. because if you are driving up close enough beside another car, you would not want to hit a closed window and have it backfire at you ... LOGIC wins every time it’s tried.
More S.O.O.s, no doubt.
a St. Louis Second Ward Democratic committeeman....When did you EVER hear of a hero described as “Republican Joe Schwartz, a (Police, Fireman, concerned citizen, homeless person, teacher, etc. etc)?
Is it the alcohol or is this Florida again?
I am remembering him as the Democrat who made sure that her cherished Bible was burned.
(just joking)
It stands for “Original Gangsta”, I think they were using it ironically...
They were looking for an open window because would be the easiest target, they are not guided by logic or they wouldn’t be thugs.
People who annoy you. /southpark ref
Willie Nelson is a prime suspect.
Oh my gosh. A news medium reports a triggering factoid?
Just another day in da hood.
