I'm guessing that means this is also the dude who claimed people threw cement at him, when it was a milk shake.

Then they claimed the milkshake had cement in it, so people pointed out things like sugar would keep cement from hardening.

Then the cops said they had no reason to assume it was concrete, and no one suggested it was, despite them and the guy being the ones who said it was concrete.

Eyup, that's the guy. It was also around the time others on the right claimed that people were pouring gasoline into bags in order to make "Makeshift Molotv Cocktails"

When

  1. the whole point of a Molotov Cocktail is that it's a makeshift weapon that the proletariat will always have access to as it's just alcohol and fire

B) A plastic bag wouldn't make for a good molotov cocktail as it would just fucking disintegrate and couldn't be thrown that far of a distance, if any at all

Also, the cloth hanging over on to the side of the bag could melt the plastic, and then catch fire

Or it might just not break and spread

I get the point of misinformation isn't that it needs to make sense, but some times I hear this stuff and wonder fucking why? At least try.

It just needs to be simple and easy to repeat, in as few words as possible.
