A maniac threw gasoline on cops and set fire to a decommissioned police precinct in the Bronx early Friday morning using a gas-filled Coca-Cola bottle, according to sources and the NYPD.

Samantha Calderon, 32, of the Bronx, was witnessed by two police officers allegedly pouring gasoline on a decommissioned stationhouse on Alexander Avenue at around 2:30 a.m., according to sources.

The alleged firebug then lit the gasoline on fire, which ignited on the structure briefly before it self-extinguished, cops said.

When confronted, Calderon became combative and threw gasoline from the bottle of Coke onto the officers, hitting them in the face.

That should be worth at least 20 years.

Death by guillotine live on national TV would be more effective in reducing crime.

I agree, if somebody shot her while doing this. Unfortunately, she has been arrested and its California.

"That should be worth at least 20 years."

I would think that the nature and duration of the sentence would vary depending on which, if any, of the protected classes she belongs to. Also, she might have been in the process of "getting her life together" or maybe she was going to buy some Skittles at the convenience store(?)

Gee if she wants to make a statement, let her follow the lead of those monks in Saigon in 61. In fact help her.

There’s a video on YouTube where a homeless guy was throwing lighter fluid on cops after he tried to set a convenience store on fire. They ran him down with their cruiser.😁

So the court system will let him out with no bail, and schedule his trial in a year or 2. He promises to behave between now and then.
