Criminal enters Palestine, Texas convenience store, ties up two clerks.

As they lay on the floor, the tall urban man rifles through store merchandise, finding lighter fluid.

He douses the female clerk in lighter fluid, then sets her ablaze, making his getaway as she desperately tries to extinguish the growing blaze.

She takes her shirt off, appearing to succeed in putting the fire out.

Screen capture at left shows the attacker exiting the store wearing a white coat.

Later Harvey clarified that the customer was set on fire, while the clerk was crouched in the corner and doused with lighter fluid. The lighter fluid, the store owner said, had been bought by the suspect a short time before he re-entered the store to commit the crime.

“Urban man”. Yep, as urban as the ace of spades.

Well, at least he wasn’t Orange Man...

Crucify the POS. After 50 strokes with a cat. Preferably in the town square.

Will take 3 days to die in agony. I will volunteer to whip him and nail him to the cross.

Why do we coddle crime?

Aggravated Robbery my ass....it was premeditated attempted MURDER and, almost certainly, a HATE CRIME. Neither charge will be brought, sadly.

Tried, convicted and sentenced to be tied to a large fire ant hill, coated with honey and with fire ants from another hill.

I’d imagine that that post reinforces some opinions.

“tall urban man”.

I had no clue what that was. Now I'd like a description of a non-urban man, just so we know the difference.

[Dalberg-Acton]

They caught the bastard!

When are people going to get sick and tired of this and do to these savages what they do to their victims??? I’m talking black and white savages that murder, maim and torture!!!!

[Sequoyah101]

Why isn’t this POS taking a dirt nap? If the damn cops had any guts they would cap him while trying to escape. They are big and brave and bad on a home invasion. Not so much on justice.

Yes, obviously a hate crime but it will never be called that because the victim is White and the perp is black.

A pair of pliers and a blowtorch.

Vile.

We taught our Cub Scout troop to “stop, drop, and roll around.” The clerk needed to roll over on his/her back as soon as that blaze broke our there. Glad the clerk was able to disrobe in time. Could have been so much worse.

sorry for the double post

[Albion Wilde]

Look at the Christian cross around the neck of this perp! Outrageous!

I’d hate to be him on Judgment Day unless he rethinks his point of view.
