The reality:

BUSHWICK, Brooklyn (WPIX) — A hooded arsonist poured gasoline on the floor of a New York City bar on Sunday and set it ablaze.

The owner of Rash Bar, an LGBTQ bar in Brooklyn’s Bushwick neighborhood, said the suspect started the fire shortly before 9:30 p.m., sending patrons fleeing the establishment.

“All the people in the bar suddenly rushed out screaming. I looked behind me … and there were enormous flames up to the ceiling,” owner Claire Bendiner told Nexstar’s WPIX. “I was in disbelief.”

Footage released Wednesday by the New York City Police Department shows the suspect dumping fuel inside the bar while another person stands in the background, seemingly unaware. The suspect ignites the fuel with a lighter, sparking a violent blaze.

It never ceases to amaze me how Liberal, Safe and Open places end up being the hunting grounds for the hateful and insane. Fake politicians will always offer fake protections.

Dude needs to calm the fuck down.

Now image being someone doing nothing and having a fully grown adult male bear down on in full “I’m going to kick your ass” body language.

That guy sent every signal that would make a claim of self defense against him justified.

That mask doesn’t stop pepper spray or bullets and better than it does COVID.

That was an incredible display of stupidity and bravado and this guy is lucky, depending on where this was, that he walked away from this without being maced, tazered, or shot.

Wrap your head around this one…

I have searched but cannot find more information about this incident (if you have any, post it in the comments and I’ll update this post).

From the short video it appears the instructor was surprised by the first accidental discharge and lost control of the gun.

That was the near-fatal, and permanently disabling, mistake.

One of the cardinal rules of gun safety is:

Keep your finger outside the trigger guard until ready to shoot.

But, one should be in control of the firearm prior to that last part.  Things can go wrong in loading, chambering, and manipulation before pulling the trigger.

If the instructor was in better control of the gun, he would not have dropped it when it slam fired.

From this terrible accident we need remember an important lesson:

When you are handling a firearm, always be mindful of its condition and be in control of it.
