Cops report Molotov Cocktail found at Durham, NC #ferguson protest.

This is my shocked face. Thankfully, the idiot who made the Molotov didn’t double down on stupid by throwing it:

Police recovered what appeared to be an “undetonated explosive device” Saturday morning at a location where more than 20 protesters were arrested during a demonstration Friday night.

The device, a bottle with a wick and an “apparent petroleum-based liquid,” was found in the 600 block of Foster Street, between West Geer and West Corporation streets, police spokeswoman Kammie Michael said.

Police had no reports of any such devices being thrown during the demonstration, but rocks and sticks were thrown at officers, Michael said.

…Later on the article, somebody histronically asked why cops were wearing riot gear.  Call me crazy, but I suspect that when you’re facing low-tech missile, melee and (potentially and allegedly, to be sure) incendiary weapons, you’re going to want to have body armor. At least, I would.

Three out-of-state men arrested in a Bridgeport apartment raid days before the NATO summit were charged with conspiracy to commit terrorism, providing material support for terrorism and possession of an explosive or incendiary device, their attorney and police said early Saturday.

The arrests were the result of a month-long investigation into a group suspected of making Molotov cocktails — crude bombs usually created by filling glass bottles with gasoline, according to law enforcement sources and police records obtained by the Tribune.

Can’t do it, huh? Continue reading Occupiers, NATO, Chicago, & Molotov cocktails.
