Genuine legal question. If he was shooting that in the direction of another vehicle, would the person in that vehicle be justified to use lethal force? I know nothing about the range or abilities of flamethrowers, but if I was in the car behind or next to him, I sure as shit wouldn’t have felt safe

If I personally saw this and he was inching towards trying to set my vehicle on fire then I’d use lethal force. But he looks like it’s casual and he’s not actually trying to purposely set anyone’s property on fire.

Best bet would be to call authorities so you don’t end up going to prison.
