Police: Man doused with gasoline, set on fire in vacant lot
WMCTV.Com ^ | 8/23/2013

A Memphis man remains in the hospital at the burn unit after police say he was set on fire. Authorities identified two suspects wanted for the crime.

Police say the man suffered injuries to most of his body.

Prior arrests meant Memphis police already had mug shots on file for 26-year-old Robert Glasper and 19-year-old Renard King. Police identified the two Thursday for allegedly being responsible for a horrific crime two weeks ago.

It happened in the 700 block of Glankler Street. A man was doused with gasoline and set on fire in a vacant lot behind an abandoned house.

Neighbor Robert Pearson could not recall the victim's name but remembers his screams.

"He was in the weeds. And I just came home from getting groceries. He was over there hollering, his skin peeling off," said Pearson.

Pearson had no clue who committed the crime, but said the devil himself would not deserve such treatment.

The victim was burned over 60 percent of his body and was initially hospitalized in extremely critical condition.

Arrest warrants have been issued for both Glasper and King charging the pair with one count each of criminal attempt first degree murder.

Anyone with information on where those two men might be should call CrimeStoppers at 901-528-CASH or the Tillman Station precinct at 901-636-3214.

I kinda doubt that race was a factor here. This is after all, Memphis. Large black population and a corresponding large murder rate.
So until I hear different I will think of this is a black on black crime.

Add to any relevant lists...

Just to get this officially on the record before the fact:

When the MSM/Jessie/Al/Barry/Hollywood come out screaming about the horror of black on black violence to get all black on white violence out of the public eye, please remind them that all throughout the Zimmerman trial to this very day we deluged them with examples they ignored.

And do not let them EVER forget it.

My shop out at the farm was burglarized about 2-1/2 weeks ago. I spent quite a bit of time at night there at the house at the farm recently. Along with my old 30-30.

They took the best of my tools and some really fine electrical tools that I had collected over many years.

The perps dropped an advertising pen for a pawn shop 60 miles away.

From other local burglaries the perps are local. They will eventually get caught or shot. Farmers are generally not defenceless.

It's probably unwise to start a war when you are outnumbered 10 to 1.

....just sayin’

Doesn’t matter what the race of the victim is... it’s the freakin’ low IQ violent idiots that are the problem.

They also have cornfields where ugly nasty things can be buried.

We have a ranch about an hour south of Houston. We have been robbed several times, expensive mower, 4 wheeler, saddles. We now have 24 hour surveillance cameras because there is still a lot to steal.

““The victim was burned over 60 percent of his body”

I have heard there is a general rule that if you add together the percentage of the body burned and the age of the victim and end up with a number over 100, they aren’t going to make it.
So I hope he was under 40.

No surprise — ~80% of felonies committed by ~6% of the U.S. population, male Negroes.
