Isn’t that relatively normal? They’re really easy to make.
The ‘throw molotov cocktails’ are mentioned in the same sentence as ‘hand out leaflets’, which makes me feel the surrounding people were generally not panicking about the fire. Hard to say without reading the book though.
- NooneAtAll3 1y agono throwing molotov cocktails is in NO way "normal"
- layer8 1y agoUnder a dictatorship it ought to be.

- hitarpetar 1y ago> Killing people I don't like is ok it's so sad that the allies killed so many Axis soldiers in WW2 right? wasn't very nice :(

- lkey 11mo agoWow, didn't know that teenager's protesting Franco is actually worse and has a higher body count than... checks notes... the Franco Regime. Any other insights you'd like to add?
- squarefoot 1y agoYes, not normal in a normal context. However if you're fighting against a dictatorship it fully qualifies as heroism. When dictatorship comes to your country (madness is growing everywhere so be prepared) you'll be grateful for anyone fighting against it, or one day you'll be the one writing "... then one day they came for me, but there was no one left to fight for me".
