You hardly need a Doctorate in psychology to work out why schools are favourite targets for arsonists. If schools weren't such horrible, oppressive places, there wouldn't be so many unhappy, damaged, grudge-bearing children wanting to get their own back.

I can clearly remember wanting to burn down my primary school, stressed out about not having done my homework. I never did though, I thought up smarter ruses instead but the nearby school was torched twice. I can break into anywhere, but my local primary school would be a challenge nowadays - they have more razorwire than Faslane. I dunno if that is to keep the kids in or out.

Sometimes teachers didn't seem to realise how their bad-moods and violent behaviour could push kids to the edge. I've seen some seriously abusive teachers, and one lovely young girl scratched the face of one of them. We cheered.

Parents get their kids sectioned for next to no reason, but before you do that to your own children you should be steralised and get a tattoo on your forehead 'I am a failure as a human'.

Still, kids, anyone thinking of going to your local petrol station for that reason, think about it. There are smarter, safer ways to escape whatever abuse you are suffering. And there is CCTV at the garages.

Orca -

The suggestion that petrol might be used for fire raising is very dangerous. The thing that really scared the Rich in the time of the Paris Commune were the women who used parrafin to raise fires. The Academics are now so scared that the principle might be applied to their Universities, in revenge for the outrageous prices they charge for information, that they deny the existence of the Petroleuses who burnt much of Paris in revenge for the suppression of the Commune.

Look it up in your Acadme controlled Wiki.

I grant you wikipedia has more masters than free contributors...but I did learn most of this there.

The original Molotov cocktails were invented in Finland, fighting against Soviet invaders. They were first named Molotovs in the Spanish civil war in repulsion of the Soviet sell-out of the anarchists..

Now, if you want to lay down a 'blanket of petrol', you throw many bottles corked but unlit. Then one lit. If you are throwing against a soft surface, then put little pebbles in the bottle, that'll smash them. And if it was Bonfire night and you wanted to make an impression, then instead of choosing a petrol station, why ot go for a petol tanker ? Most petrol tankers are outsourced into unguarded private yards ? Don't know where to find those yards ? Follow one home. Capitalism is susceptable by it's nature to pinch-points. bada-boom.
