Mystery over Bridgeport arrests: Molotov cocktails or brewing equipment?
Source: Chicago Tribune
As the NATO summit approached, Chicago police Friday continued to hold several people suspected of making Molotov cocktails but would say nothing about the arrests, adding to a growing mystery over the nature of the investigation.
Police earlier Friday released from custody — without charging — four of the nine people who were swept up in a late-night Wednesday raid of a Bridgeport apartment building. Two more were released Friday night without charges.
According to law enforcement sources and police reports obtained by the Tribune, the arrests were the result of a monthlong investigation into a group suspected of making Molotov cocktails — crude bombs usually created by filling glass bottles with gasoline.
But the National Lawyers Guild criticized the police raid, saying the nine NATO protesters only had beer-making equipment in their possession.

to make molotovs. So anyone with any glass bottle like say a beer bottle and any type of igniting fluid like gas for ur lawnmower or lighter fluid for ur lighter, can mean u r making explosives if the police happen to break into ur house without a warrant and need to "find something" to charge u with to cover their asses for the illegal search.
And please be careful with that terrorist slingshot of urs. It's all fun and games til somebody gets their eye poked out.
