I do not advocate for violence. This is an educational post pointing out the versatility of molotov cocktails through out history vs modern day.

In history: cheap and effective way for civilians and soldiers to counter tank warfare. Lack of serial numbers, cellphone trackers, and cameras made it difficult to track these those responsible for attacks.

In modern times: Gas, bottles, and rags can all be FOUND or purchased easily and difficult to track. If a person leaves their cell phone at home, Pays with cash, wears a covid mask, uses public transport…it would be very difficult to track. If many people started doing this it would overwhelm the man power to track down.
