  • Again, good job replying but expand as bit more on your summary.

  • I think he wanted attention. I don't think he got to where he was going to use them. He was stopped to soon.

  • Probably just to get on the news and get attention for himself. I'm not sure why he didn't use the cocktails. 

    • But he is dead now so I don't know if that is what he wanted.

  • People that do this are terrible and insane and I have no idea why anyone would do this. I think he didn't use it because he was waiting for the right time. 

  • I think he is more upset about the Pelicans haven't taken over the 8th spot in the west. He probably didn't want to burn himself.

    • I really hope Mr. Bruns does not count this

  • I bet the man was furious about the terrible season that the New Orleans Saints had. He pry didn't use the cocktails because he didn't have a lighter.

    • very good thinking that is probably right

  • Probably he did this because he was old and had some issues because of his age, but that's still not an excuse. I don't know, he could have saved them for someone else.
