Damn he’s good

He died doing what he loves.

CCTV footage showed two people approaching a fast food outlet with a jerry can of flammable liquid and attempting to set the shop alight.

So this like a gangland thing yeah?

This is pretty common, especially when using petrol/gasoline as the accelerant. There’s two big mistakes people seem to make:

1. they’ll start the fire then pour on the accelerant and the fire will travel back up the stream because it’s not a ghost
2. they don’t realize that the fumes are also flammable, so the fire can easily jump from the pooled accelerant via the evaporating gas to them and the container of more accelerant they’re holding, resulting in an exciting light show if you’re outside of the blast zone

Er, some problems solve themselves? Is there a more inflammatory way to call for mental health care?

A smidge further down the page: “We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Australians and Traditional Custodians of the lands where we live, learn, and work.” Nice! Good on ya ABC!

“One last job… For old times sake.”

In other words, ha-de-fucking-ha.
