A Danville, Virginia, City Councilman Lee Vogler was doused in gasoline and set on fire in his office on Tuesday.
According to reports, the attacker threw five gallons of gasoline on Vogler before setting him on fire.
Showcase Magazine’s Andrew Brooks said the attacker forced his way in the magazine’s office as Vogler was visiting and poured a five-gallon container of gas on him.
“Lee attempted to flee, ran to the front of the building,” Showcase Magazine owner Andrew Brooks said in a Facebook video. “The individual followed him and set him on fire.”

This is getting bad. Democrats have gotten their “nut contingent” stirred into violence.

My first thought was that it was a gay lovers spat, the victim abused someone the suspect knows, or he was having an affair with the suspect’s wife.
Looks like it may have been an affair with the wife...

Yes, My first thought as well. Fire is such a personal weapon. It had to be a personal reason.............

Sadly, that is their intention. Stir up the nuts and let them wreck havoc on the rest of us.

“Don’t marry a tramp” and “Don’t sleep with another man’s wife” should be the takeaways here.
