What the F@%#?!?!?

EAST PROVIDENCE — A Molotov cocktail thrown through a window of the Rumford fire station sparked a brief fire late Tuesday night. A similar device was tossed on a nearby church’s walkway.

No one was hurt in either incident.

I have no idea what the ratio of maliciousness to stupidity was in the motivation for this act, but I plan to make an anti-moron pro-community statement of support in the form of a donation to the East Providence Firefighters Community Fund.

(It may also help make up for the fact that I probably ate more than my share of hot dogs and chili after last year's East Providence Firefighters Freaky 5K, one of the best late-season racing events here in Rhode Island.)
