An apparent agitator in the middle of a peaceful protest’s car is burned out … after the firework he tried to leave got thrown back into his car by a protester.
The crazy incident went down Tuesday in Riverside, CA after a man pulled into the middle of the street, stepped out and laid down what looks like a Molotov cocktail. You can see from the video the stunt immediately backfired on him because a protester — trying to keep the march peaceful — grabbed the smoking bottle and tossed it right back into dude’s car!!!
The agitator made a failed attempt to get it out of the vehicle but ended up ducking for cover as the bottle exploded. It’s a stark illustration of what’s been happening in a lot of the protests over George Floyd’s death at the hands of ex-cop Derek Chauvin.
Peaceful demonstrations interrupted by agitators trying to amp up violence. This time peaceniks fought back.
