Police Sgt. Trent Crump says bystanders heard the man screaming. Some ran into a nearby Arby's restaurant for help, and manager Lindsay Riedlinger grabbed a fire extinguisher and sprayed the man.

Riedlinger says he had a blank look his face and appeared to be in shock. She says he then got up and went into a nearby Taco Bell to get some water.

There should be a law against this sort of thing so it does not happen. /s

[Blood of Tyrants]

While they are at it, repeal the law of unintended consequences.

People in Phoenix are very helpful like that.

I’ll bet women think that guy is hot.

Look for a mobile meth lab somewhere in the neighborhood.

I guess if one is to get oneself engulfed in flames, Phoenix is probably the best named city to engage in such behaviour.

And a flaming dorito taco? Personally, I woulda been looking for an ice cream shop.

I wonder if Arby’s will fire their manager for getting involved?

Following the footsteps of trail-”blazers” Richard Pryor and Michael Jackson.

Reminds me of that old song, “Mothers, don’t let your sons grow up to be free basers”
