“Woman Is Lit on Fire on Chicago Train After Argument Escalates, Person of Interest in Custody”
There was no argument. The son of a bitch randomly doused her with gas, she ran, he caught and torched her.
The only thing the police ever release is that there is an “argument.” If someone tries to take my phone, or if a man tries to rape a woman , yeah, there is going to be an argument. The police do this so that they can imply that both sides were in the wrong. Certainly no conspiracy. Maybe the n-word was used.
in reality, I would bet that the woman was just trying to get on the train to go home and was minding her business.
Just carrying the supplies to set people on fire, says it all.
Yeah the police blotter I checked said it was gasoline. Who carries s bottle of gas with them?
People who can’t get a gun.
You could wipe out the whole platform with a match.
One of the reasons they want us in electric cars.
people who believe we are all the same and have no situational awareness
Precisely! Carrying a container of gasoline around isn’t the norm
Gosh. He's a real Boy Scout. Always prepared.
>Just carrying the supplies to set people on fire, says it all.
...write (D) enclaves deny the victim(s), & others, their Right to a lead ‘extinguisher’ (so they WON’T be set on fire)
A clear case of a democrat cannibal on the hunt for White flesh to eat. He figured he could just kill and cook the woman on the train and devour her in a few big bites. It’s what inner city cannibals do.
Expect to see much more ore of this in Madmani free busses.
Apparently, it is the norm for mentally disturbed psychotic losers.
Governor Piggy Arbuckle is ALL ABOUT “law and ordure”. /s
“When You’re hot, you’re hot!”- Jerry Reed................
Are passengers allowed to bring containers of gasoline with them on Chicago trains? Do transit police make any effort to stop such a thing? Does it happen commonly? The attacker is ultimately to blame, but this wouldn’t have happened without worthless “security”.
apparently they can bring machetes and shrunken heads i assume
We may never know who the “person of interest” is - or it will be reported - without mention of race or a photo - at the bottom of page 16.
Looks like the “person of interest” was looking to set someone on fire - he was already carrying flammable liquid and something to light it with.
Hope the woman survives, burns are a rough injury.
Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, 33, a Guatemalan citizen, was arrested in connection with Kawam’s murder the same day, after he was caught on police body camera footage. Subway riders called 911 when they spotted him hours later and officers took him into custody.

The Guatemalan citizen is in the U.S. unlawfully and was previously deported, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.
