Good. I don't care if it's a police car or someone's personal car or an empty cardboard box. If you're throwing around molotov cocktails you should go to jail.

- entropea 6y agoI agree that they should have jail time, but life in prison after not actually harming anyone physically? That's authoritarian and exactly what I was replying to in OP's comment.
- derision 6y agoWhat if the car exploded, hurting people nearby? What if there was a police canine in the vehicle that wasn't see, or someone crouching on the other side of the car out of sight? Throwing a molotov cocktail into a vehicle, in my opinion, should be charged as attempted manslaughter.
- entropea 6y agoHypotheticals don't belong in criminal trials.
- unicornfinder 6y agoTo be fair though, even if you think people should go to jail for that (and I don't think that's an unreasonable view), surely you'd agree that a life sentence is excessive?
- derision 6y agoA life sentence is excessive yes, but why are we trying to justify throwing molotiv cocktails in the first place? What happened to civility?
