Witnesses said the bomb exploded in "a large fireball,"

For a high-volume Dam.

Public Defender Lawrence Campbell said Wilkins' target was a beaver dam that blocked a waterway, and that the bomb was ignited by ash from his cigarette that fell onto the fuse.

Yeah, I hate it when that happens.

"... he lobbed the bomb at his girlfriend's Oldsmobile in Rougemont as she drove into her yard.

Witnesses said it exploded in "a large fireball" when Wilkins threw it. The bottle then rolled back toward him, igniting his shorts."


Boy, those pesky witnesses.

I should have contacted some dam engineers. Using explosives to deal with the dam beavers is crazy. Some people understand water barriers and some people are fools. I'd say this man is a dam fool.

Watch for the new animated series "Beaver & Cecil",
featuring the talents of Otis C. "I ain't no terrorist" Wilkins...
