5-Step Rebellion: Toasting La Policia

Now that no one can alert the police to your antics, and the police themselves are isolated in their station, you can attack them a little more directly.

The Molotov Cocktail is your final lesson in rebellion. At this stage the free-form vagueness of the earlier lessons is gone, and precision measurements are required. The rag you insert into the bottle, for instance, can extend “no more than 20cm from the rim.”

Following these instructions to the letter is essential to insure the downfall of the evil regime. The “FFM” also offers a variation on this tactic in which you perforate drums of gasoline and throw the “coctel” at them, for a more pronounced, albeit more dangerous, effect.

 

Such are the demands of liberation, no?

Addendum:
The MoJo Wire does not condone the use of these tactics against any government, tyrannical or otherwise.

DECEMBER IS MAKE OR BREAK

A full one-third of our annual fundraising comes in this month alone. That’s risky, because a strong December means our newsroom is on the beat and reporting at full strength—but a weak one means budget cuts and hard choices ahead.

With only days left until December 31, we've raised about half of our $400,000 goal—but we need a huge surge in reader support to close the remaining gap. Whether you've given before or this is your first time, your contribution right now matters.

Managing an independent, nonprofit newsroom is staggeringly hard. There’s no cushion in our budget—no backup revenue, no corporate safety net. We can’t afford to fall short, and we can’t rely on corporations or deep-pocketed interests to fund the fierce, investigative journalism Mother Jones exists to do. That’s why we need you right now. Please chip in to help close the gap.
