I think this is a double secret reverse false flag attack. Specifically done by agents directly reporting to Clinton so that she can appear presidential in denouncing it, while Trump seems insane railing against shadow enemies. ---

> [@Grumman](#): > > I don’t think you should get to call yourself a Democrat if you support firebombing your political opponents. Democracy means letting dissenting views make it to the polling booth, not suppressing other political parties with acts of terrorism so that you can win by default. It’s a good thing that no Democrats have come out in support of the firebombing, then, isn’t it? ---

As far as elections go, have to take it as a strong possibility that Trump’s side did this, and even may convict some person falsely. It is actually far more likely that Trumps side did then then Hillary’s side in any ‘official’ (wink wink) capacity. Though the Hillery side may have done this to have it appear like the Trump side set this up. Though it could be a ‘crazy’ person unrelated to the campaign effort. Need to separate legalities from dirty politics. ---

This incident is way too on the nose and way too close to the last debate to be a coincidence. I’m calling false flag. ---

Did Hillary threaten to firebomb GOP offices in the last debate or something? ---

> [@cochrane](#): > > Sounds like the start of a good joke. > > “A bear and a raccoon walk into a bar.” 🙂 A bear and a raccoon are walking through the woods… [spoiler]The both stop to take a dump, and the bear asks, “Hey, Raccoon. Do you have a problem with shit sticking to your fur?” Raccoon replies, “No.” So the bear wiped his ass with the raccoon.
