What is this guy with a

[Skidmore]

flamethrower at a march/rally? nonsense that these Trumpbaggers are trying to spread in the ether? Who put that out?

1. There's no picture so I can't say for sure

But there was a large contingent of cosplaying counterprotesters at the Phoenix rally. May have been a costume.

2. There was video of an African American man

Lighting the stream of an aerosol can of some sort. The flame went out about three feet.

6. Tarkenian was about to have

a stroke trying to work it into an MSNBC interview with Hallie Jackson, who didn't bite. He was screaming something about this guy showed up to burn people. I've seen this tale a couple of times on Twitter trying to tie it to FOX's Antifa hysteria. Snopes has nothing. Google takes to a Breitbart yarn about an ISIS assassin using one. Perhaps may need to be debunked.

13. Ah, so this was not referencing the most recent rally

And people can't tell the difference between an aerosol can and a flamethrower.

3. There is a picture.

Some Black guy was about to be attacked by a group of white supremacists. The Black guy saw an aerosol can on the ground, picked it up and used a lighter to create a makeshift flamethrower that drove the Nazis back and allowed the Black guy to get away.

10. Ah, the old James Bond trick

4. Flamethrowers (actual flamethrowers) are generally regarded a legal

They are classified as agricultural implements. Surprisingly, very few states have laws against building or owning flamethrowers (even military models).

not that this has anything to do with igniting an aerosol can at a rally... but neat to know .

8. What a horrific story.

Thanks for the link. Trumpbaggers really expect people to meekly let themselves be killed by these supremacists who are no less enemies of the US than the Confederacy was.

9. And here's the pic before it was cropped

The story involved two guys trying to defend and protect an elderly man being harassed by the nazi freaks

7. Republicans only seem to like self-defense when it is a white guy with a gun. nt.
