A young North Carolina woman was doused in gasoline and set on fire by a sick suspect who then fled — leaving her heartbroken mother wondering, “How could they do this to my baby?”

Ashanti Downey, 20, was rushed to the emergency room the night of Dec. 16 with second-and third-degree burns down the right side of her body, according to WRAL News in Raleigh-Durham.

Staffers at Central Carolina Hospital in Sanford called the Harnett County Sheriff’s Office at about 7 p.m. to report the horrific act, which happened as Downey walked along Highway 27 toward a Dollar General in the same town.

That’s when an unidentified man came up behind her, dumped gas all over her and lit a cigarette that sparked the blaze, Downey told investigators.

Correct. A few public hangings would help.

It’s understandable to me if the general public starts taking matters into their own hands. Not saying I approve, but it’s certainly understandable.

If I can’t have you, nobody can? Or just a random evil act.

I believe drugs like fentynol are doing damage to the impulse control functions of the mind. It’s surprising that this problem has not been identified as the root of the insanity infesting our society.

Some people need to be killed rather than arrested. Unfortunately the PoPo can’t figure it out. They beat normal people the treat real criminals with TLC.
