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’ve become Obama’s white grandmother - moving across the street when I see more than one black man coming my way. Experience teaches us valuable lessons.

“It’s probably unwise to start a war when you are outnumbered 10 to 1”

Well, if 9 out of the 10 are “can’t we all just get along?” wussies, not too much of a risk. Ping me when you read an article about someone hanging from a tree. Untill then, it’s “be active in our local community and vote for the lesser of two evils”.

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

*********
In reality, the ratio is probably a lot lower than that. Roughly half are libs so now we’re down to 5:1. Of the remaining 5, only one or two will actually be willing to get off the comfy couch and have the courage to stand up to the thugs.

Thank you....would really like to know if it is reasonable and easy, and NOT tied into some police call system....I’ve heard there is one out there that alerts the OWNER, and then they OWNER decides what to do, and it only costs about $10/mo. Just can’t remember it’s name.

“BTW, when you are out and about: Have situational awareness at all times. “

And if you are able, “carry.” Maybe even if you are “not able,” still carry.

Has open war been declared?

Hippies used to have a rhetorical question they liked asking; namely, "What if they gave a war and nobody came? Little did I think they'd put it in practice. But that is what we have, a black on white war. More like war crimes than war. Few acknowledge it, much less fight back. And it's been simmering for at least a hundred years. Sometimes it's hotter than other times. Right now it's pretty hot, what with a gangbanger for president encouraging it.

Of course, right now we do not know whether this particular victim is white. But that is irrelevant. The war is what it is. As for this victim... Lord help him, save him, bless him, comfort him, no matter his race.
