Doesn't matter, the act of throwing a deadly weapon can legally be met with similar force. The kid may know the law enough that had he shot before the guy threw the cocktail, then he wouldn't have been acting in self defense. You can only shoot after it has been thrown.Yes that was my conclusion as well but the improvised explosive did not detonate
This is what I was concerned about back in June was rioters with fire bombs throwing them into houses. Everything I was told was you cannot shoot until the bottle is thrown and that's what the 17 yr old did.
