COURTLAND, Miss. — A family his planning their second child’s funeral after a woman was killed.

Panola County deputies believe Jessica Chambers was set on fire and are investigating her death as a homicide.

“It’s hard for me to talk,” Ben Chambers said. “It’s hard to breathe. You don’t even think about–.”

Most people do not think about losing a child the way Ben Chambers lost his.

“When the fire department got there they say she was on fire out in the road,” Chambers recalled.

There is a time and a place for vigilantism in small measured amounts.

I have always believed that the punishment should fit the crime. Every. Single. Time.

If ever a case justified the death penalty, this is it. Some people need to die.

Forgiveness unnecessary. It will be a surprise if they’re not. The expectation nowadays is if there’s no description of the criminal saying they’re white, Latino, Asian, etc. ..... The effect of this Ministry of Truth, Winston Smith evasion of the first thing that should be reported, a description of the perpetrators so they can be caught, does nothing but make it easier to assume they’re black and throw more gas on a growing fire.

From above link:

“They squirted lighter fluid down her throat and in her nose, and apparently they knocked her out. She had a big gash on top of her head.”

In her last breaths, she may have sent investigators down her killer’s trail.

“She told them, she told them, told him who done it,” Chambers said.

Investigators won’t say what Jessica said or release the chilling details about how she died.

“I love her you know, I’m so sorry Daddy wasn’t there for her,” her dad said. “I’d trade places with her in a minute if I could.”

Ben Chambers worked as an employee for Panola County Sheriff’s Office.

I would have to think that the reason for torching her and her car was to destroy evidence. Was reported she was with two guys that night.

I'll use my imagination that they forced her to perform oral sex and when she threatened to go to the cops, as she should, they decided to kill her and destroy evidence....

assholes....no other way to put it...

“...or somebody may have a vendetta against the whole family and he may be next.”

On the news clip he was wearing a shirt that said “Sheriff’s Department” on it. Although they didn't make a point of saying he worked there. Maybe he volunteers there - or got the shirt at the thrift store.

The old “eye for an eye” was a rule for a just punishment. It is actually a good thing - to moderate things like cutting off the hand for stealing a piece of fruit.

I’ve been following this story and it sure appears many are indeed making assumptions of the criminals that did this...

I also read she was actually walking on fire as the police arrived. Which is possible as the body shuts off nerve endings etc. when engulfed as she was. Only the bottom of her feet were spared.

Remember that young couple that thugs murdered...they poured bleach all over her and in her mouth....to destroy evidence.

Interesting that certain thugs today understand forensic evidence enough that they resort to these foolish and destructive means to protect themselves.

You can see we may have to take matters into our own hands.

Could somebody please de-code the first line for me?

Read the story and it decodes itself. Funny how so many folks prefer to critique the grammar of the writers than to grasp the import of the story. Terrible event and your biggest concern is the structure of a sentence?
