Hi, I ran into this discussion on twitter, and most people in the comments were really mad at the ELBainter person (who claims to be a retired firefighter). I know absolutely nothing about any of this, so I was curious: are they right and the people there are just stupid, the opposite, or something in between?

Is it just me or is the hood not even up?

That is to say, what did these two guys hope to accomplish just spraying on the hood?
