Muslim college student: Yep, he had a Molotov cocktail, but nope, he wasn’t a threat
Molotov cocktails are often referred to as the petrol bomb or the poor man’s bomb. Take a bottle (any bottle), fill it with flammable liquid, place a rag into the neck of the bottle so that it reaches the liquid, but some length of the rag hangs out over the outside of the bottle. Then, light the rag that is hanging outside the bottle, and throw. Once the bottle hits the ground, it normally explodes into a burst of flames. Unfortunately for Akhshabi, it can also explode in your hand before you get a chance to throw it, which causes one to wonder why he lit it inside his apartment? Is there a reason other than using it as a bomb why anyone would have a Molotov cocktail? I can’t think of one.
