First off I would like to say that Starbucks was not, I repeat WAS NOT firebombed by a molotov cocktail, or by anything since its exsistence in seven corners.
How do I know? Simple, I saw the video on May 5th,2004 at 11:00 p.m. on channel 8. The very video that sits in the hands of the corporate media. Video which was filmed by the corporate media, and spinned by the corporate media as an act of so called arson against starbucks.
It's all bullshit.
Like I said I saw the video and yes a bottle was thrown at starbucks smashing one of their windows. The bottle that was thrown was a wine bottle that was wrapped in a bag, corked. Looks like it was mostly if not all empty when some passer-by decided to get rid of it. There was no sign of any fire damage on the bag, or around the store.
The next time someone tells you that "Starbucks was firebombed" or that "someone threw a molotov cocktail at starbucks" tell them that that's a total flat out bullshit lie and rumor. If they tell you otherwise ask for proof. When they say "that's not what the news said," tell them that their own video proves, and shows THERE WAS NO MOLOTOV COCKTAIL, just a bottle in a bag.
I just thought I'd clear this up since a lot of people in the community are jumping to conclusions within the neighborhood and around the city concerning the new starbucks in sevencorners over this issue.
