    I don’t even know what they mean by “flamethrower”. In the video I posted yesterday, there was nothing close to what looked like a “flamethrower”. He clearly had two glass bottles with rags coming out the mouth. There was something on the ground that looked like a container or some kind, burned, but it had the shape of a kettle or something.

      Using the literal description of “device that throws flames” to make a can of hairspray and a BIC lighter sound scarier.

      Not confirmed for sure but I heard someone on the video say he had a spray bottle with alcohol, you can spray it into a lighter, which so many teenagers have done, it’s hilarious to call that a ‘makeshift flamethrower’ though that isn’t necessarily inaccurate.
