US police have arrested a beggar who allegedly set a man on fire outside a convenience store because he didn’t give him money.
The 37-year-old beggar reportedly approached his victim as he got out of his car at a California 7-Eleven store and asked him for money, US network ABC reported yesterday.
The 63-year-old man refused to give him money and walked into the shop.
When the man left the store and got into his car the beggar doused him and the inside of the vehicle with a flammable substance and lit it on fire.
"With the door open you could see the entire insides were ablaze," a witness told Good Morning America.
"He came out and he was horrifying. His entire shirt was on fire, his head was on fire."
The victim was rushed to hospital with third degree burns and is in a critical condition.

Politics follows culture, and our culture is in the toilet. Momentum continues in the wrong direction. The war was lost decades ago.
I thought Trayvon was killed by Zimmerman?
This is ObamaNation now. If a freeloader demands your money, you better give it to him/her.

Probably not. I will donate some semi-precious metals, though.

Gold and silver I do not have but here’s some lead for your ass.
This is why it is necessary for Americans to never leave home unarmed. Our society is out of control. It’s full of Freaks Gone Wild.
What a cruel thing to do.
I don’t know why but somehow I am still amazed at what human beings can and will do to one another.
A “sense of entitlement?”
After seeing someone do that to another human being, would you, a witness to the crime, be justified in blowing the perp’s brains out? He was, after all, in the act of using deadly force against someone, and was even eyeing you or someone else quite menacingly, with his lighter fluid and lighter in hand, you’d say.
So what’s the angle here? Scenario A ? Scenario B ?
I bet the perp was black they seem to light people on fire
or at least most of the stories I have read about this sort of crime the perp has been black. I did not see much about the person who did it in the story I could be wrong it’s just a hunch.
Photo of perp at link. He’s black...
Perp’s name is Raymond Sean Clark and he’s black
“Can’t we all just get along?”
the perp is black. Is the victim? I hope we dont have another hate crime here.
>He was being held in lieu of $502,000 bail.
There should not be a chance of bail for this act. Slow torture or death, but never a chance to escape his deeds.
