It’s interesting that she was “allegedly” doused with gasoline. I admire their caution in not rushing to judgment. I guess they’re leaving the door open to the possibility that kerosene could have been used.

The use of “allegedly” is getting out of control.

The lack of description in the article says pretty much all.

Who runs around with a gas can at night? Or did the fight occur at a local gas station? How is it the main weapon was available an on site?

What passes for news today is flat embarrassing. There are no “who, what, when, where or whys” in this article. Just a headline and useless video.

News is dead. It is dead, Jim.

Information that might in any way depress support for the collectivist agenda is systematically censored or disregarded.
