Two people are in jail after a Molotov cocktail was thrown at a home in San Luis Obispo from a car the pair was traveling in on Wednesday evening.

Shortly before 11 p.m., a caller reported 26-year-old Rachel Tomassi was threatening to harm a female acquaintance. Officers arrived to find a small fire burning in the middle of the street and observed a vehicle with the same description as Tomassi’s leaving the immediate area.

Officers quickly extinguished the fire and then located a bottle filled with gasoline near the front door of the residence. Officers determined the fire was from a makeshift wick that fell out of the Molotov cocktail as it was being thrown at the residence.

Officers located and stopped Tomassi’s vehicle near the intersection of Osos and Buchon streets, and found both Tomassi and her 19-year-old passenger Kamakani Huihui inside.

During their investigation, officers found an unused Molotov cocktail bottle similar to the one found at the victim’s residence. Tomassi and Huihui were arrested and booked in San Luis Obispo County Jail on charges of attempted arson, conspiracy, possession of flammable liquid and possession of a destructive device. They remain in jail with both of the suspects bail set at $300,000.

Really, you are flaming mad at someone so you throw a molotov at their front door, it bounces on the lawn spilling the fluid, while you watch from your car with a backup ready for a second attempt at arson possible murder. Your parents must be proud.

V. Molotov would be proud that two pinheads from California are keeping his namesake alive after so many years. However, the choice of target should have gone to capitalist pigs, not some local pinheaded rival.

In California, arson is a felony that can result in: 



  • Imprisonment: A sentence ranging from probation to nine years in state prison 

  • Fines: Up to $50,000, depending on the specifics of the case 

  • Restitution: Compensation for damages, including medical expenses and environmental impacts

I’d say the destructive device is the more serious charge that can be charged both state and federal with up to 10 years in prison.
