Double standard.

Hellacious double standard. We’d see it in every news outlet if the races were reversed.

But...this boy was remarkably unharmed after having gasoline “poured” on him and set afire. 1st degree burns? A few hours at the burn center? Compare that man in NC who died after splashing gasoline on himself and lighting a cigarette. He was so badly burnt I’d look at murder; this boy got off so lightly I’d look at a hoax.

It is possible to only have 1st degree burns from this. The longer you're exposed to flames, the more damage is done.

As it said the boy had enough presence of mind to pull his shirt up to snuff the flames
