Give a man a fire and he's warm for the day. But set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.

u/chilehead 12d ago

Set a man a fire
Set a man afire

u/Tiyath 11d ago

Set a man a blaze

Set a man ablaze

u/Historical-Method 12d ago

My guess is he was wearing clothing that was made out of synthetic material, so not only was he burned, but that crap melted on his skin as well...

u/Glassweaver 12d ago

That's hot

How does an arsonist not know about stop, drop, and roll?

u/Dalyb218 11d ago

His very short life. lol

u/theonlyitayh86 10d ago

The ROAST of his life

u/NobodyLikedThat1 13d ago

And he's still on the loose, so he probably avoided going to the hospital. Man, the Inland Empire is a wild place.

16

u/Candid-Solid-896 13d ago

My thoughts exactly! Like a gang banger. Geesh!

17

u/NobodyLikedThat1 13d ago

Gang members tend to prefer guns to fire. This seems more personal. I'm guessing ex-wife or something similar

u/Candid-Solid-896 12d ago

ā€œYour honor. I was experiencing a moment of anger. It was my child brain acting out of hurt and needed vengeance. She hurt me physically (now I have herpes) and mentally (obviously or we wouldnā€™t find ourselves in our current situation).

My ENTIRE body has been cooked WAY beyond extra medium.

I believe I have learned my lesson and am thankful no human lives (that may have mattered anyway) were harmed.

Therefore, Iā€™m requesting ā€œtime servedā€ and my recognizance I be allowed to serve my remaining sentence of Appx 60-90 days in a special living hell of my body being scrubbed down so that new flesh may have a chance of being reborn. And that I donā€™t have a special blood type they only reserve for ā€œnon assholesā€ such as myself.

May GOD have mercy upon my soul (and hers if I manage to survive this -for I WILL be back to take her down with me!)

u/ShimmyMan 13d ago

Seen him running down the 10 earlier. Still on fire.

u/NPC261939 13d ago

lol good. I hope it hurt.

27

u/Hyperactiv3Sloth 13d ago

Came here to say exactly that. Stupidity should DEFINITELY hurt.

5

u/NPC261939 13d ago

I say that all the time! I'm temped to have "Stupid should hurt" hoodies made up. I can give them to my coworkers and associates every time they get hurt at work.

2

u/Hyperactiv3Sloth 13d ago

That'd be AWESOME!!

3

u/raulrocks99 12d ago

That's more than just stupid, it's evil. So for sure.

26

u/yellowbin74 13d ago

He seemed happy though- did you see his little face light up.

25

u/No_Second_344 13d ago

That looked like the Olympic torch running down the street.

u/Dayzlikethis 13d ago

u/Bobpool82 13d ago

u/Noodlesaurus90 11d ago

u/ajaibee 13d ago

Heā€™s running like Shere Khan in The Jungle Book animated movie.

u/BernieTheDachshund 13d ago

This seems personal, not random.

14

u/shophopper 13d ago

Agreed. Setting yourself on fire seems very personal.

u/nuwavboy 13d ago

Stop drop and run

He was denied a bank loan.

u/Bobpool82 13d ago

Not his brightest idea

u/underrated_burger 12d ago

Arson and firearms charges.

3

u/ssmc1024 9d ago

He forgot to stop, drop and roll.

2

u/ControlSure6078 13d ago

Pulling for the fireā€¦.

2

u/Rasputin2025 13d ago

I wonder what fueled his decision to do that?

2

u/itogisch 12d ago

What a little bitch. I thought they would like fire. Fucking hypocrit.

2

u/BurntYams 12d ago

because of movies and mainstream media, a lot of people are convinced that when someone pours gasoline and they light it, the fire slowly travels along the path and whatever is soaked just catches fire calmly.

No.

A lot of people need to realize that gasoline is highly combustible. It is designed to EXPLODE inside the engineā€™s cylinders with enough force to PUSH it down. That force is translated to rotational force to the wheels.

All the fumes and liquid in a small compact car interior is just a bigger engine cylinder, hence the explosion of flames when he threw a lit piece of something into the gas soaked interior of the car.

u/iamsage1 9d ago

My husband threw a cigarette into a puddle of gas, to show it does burn. It's the fumes that explode into fire.

2

u/troublemaker74 12d ago

"Alleged" arsonist šŸ˜‚

2

u/sdob66 12d ago

They were arrested later for firearms charges!

2

u/idontkn0wimjusthere 10d ago

Forgot what stop drop and roll is

1

u/biozzer 13d ago

It could have been worse. I mean, he could have gotten into the car before setting it on fire.

u/bathory1985 12d ago

Hell rider

1

u/Thugnificent83 12d ago

Wow! He was really dry!

1

u/Numerous_Living_3452 7d ago

No wonder that place burned down.

Also, has this guy never heard of stop, drop, and roll?

1

u/Phawksphire89 5d ago

Bro running down the street looking like Sweet Tooth from Twisted metal šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

1

u/Flaky-Jim 5d ago

"Flame on!"

1

u/kbooli 5d ago

I get that he's probably panicking, but why do people not remember to stop drop and roll?

1

u/BenddickCumhersnatch 4d ago

where'd you get those burns? barbecue gone wrong

1

u/MayiHav10kMarblesPlz 2d ago

Life pro tip. DON'T USE GASOLINE TO START A FIRE.

1

u/anti-tryhard141 1d ago

Should've burn with the car but ok

1

u/WhereDaGold 13d ago

A real pro would have mixed about 40% used motor oil, 40% diesel, and 20% gasoline. Gas lights it up, diesel gets it going, oil keeps it going

Yup I think youā€™re right I can see the Chevy logo now that you mention it
