I wonder if a RW nutbag threw it. There are some inconsistencies that make me suspicious.

(71,514 posts)There's an inconsistency in the device description.
Molotov cocktails don't explode. So, all Molotov cocktails are nonexplosive. Getting gasoline to an explosive state requires very specific conditions. Ask any engine mechanic.
Putting gasoline in a bottle would not achieve said conditions.
Secondly, a Molotov would likely be made between 12 & 32 ounces. There's insufficient fire damage in those pictures for that to be flammable liquid fire in that volume range.
Also, where are the burn marks caused by flaming liquid running down the wall? And, if the fire started on the floor, why is there uniform burn on the floor, and why is the floor along the baseboard untouched?
This is a PR stunt.

when you trash your own office and try to blame it on the militant liberal Antifa anti-Jesus crowd.
Two things stand out to me.
First, theres no broken glass inside the room. If you walked up to the outside of a building and broke out a window to throw an incendiary device in there, the broken window pieces would be in the room, right?
The other is exactly what was damaged. If militant liberal Antifa types wanted to attack such a place, theyd try to set on fire either the desk or the table with all the anti-abortion literature on it. They wouldnt attack an innocent part of the floor whose only crime was just being in the room.
The screwed-up drywall under the window is also interesting. To damage that drywall, youd have to break out the window then reach inside with a hammer or something. Who would take the time to do that?
And come on
if militant liberal Antifa types were going to attack one of these places, they would have shown up with 20 gallons of gasoline and burned it to the ground. Youre going to the hoosegow either way, why not just completely destroy it?
