A fire occurred in the East Village area of downtown San Diego on Monday morning, after a local man set fire to a stage at a “Social Summit” event for the local Padres baseball team.
La Jolla’s Ron Fowler, 75, was seen dousing gasoline onto the hopes and dreams of those in attendance at the event, before flicking a Cuban cigar onto the highly combustible crowd. Those in attendance were overheard remarking that the cigar, before it collided into a bystander and began a social media firestorm, was definitely flicked with “panache”.
“It was bogus,” said Wiliam Myers, 29, a local budtender and occasional baseball player attending the event.
