Actually I think that's stupid as most flamethrowers are home made and more than likely to combust on the user and any poor sap in the way when maintained and stored poorly. I'm assuming anyone stupid enough to run with the whole 'angry mob' ordeal isn't all that bright when it comes to weapons safety/storage. Too much hate in their system to let them think properly, I suppose.
Are you always so optimistic? It's a nice change from the doom and gloom around here.
