That must have to be one of the most terrifying experiences.
Imagine being resigned to the fact that you are about to be burnt to death and completely powerless to help yourself.

Jesus. When I first heard about it I thought it was Sharia-related.
Now I'm intrigued.

a mate live on that street. horrifying experience, to see that much smoke from a house and be told it was a person on fire.

As much as he deserves extreme punishment Harro, she survived poor girl and even in Texas it wouldnt be on the table.
Cant think of any reason why he should ever see the outside of a max security mental institution however.
"There is more in heaven and earth that can be explained by your philosophy Horatio."
True, but if science had the funds religion has enjoyed for eons we might have better explanations by now, or at least hover shoes.
This perpetrator could be seriously ill and need all the help he can get, if that's the case, I have no issues with my taxes going to his (or her) continuing treatment and incarceration in a mental institute.
Having said that, he could just be a nasty fuck or a jealous/jilted lover in which case I again have no issues with him being locked up for life and continually raped by a man called "tiny".
However at this stage with no evidence availed to us it's nothing more than speculation, so drawing an educated opinion is impossible and any thoughts provoked are no more than reactionary and ideas of retribution shouldn't be part of a balanced and educated man's thought process.
Mental or not he should be chained to a metal post and burned alive. He gets his deserved puishment, he can't hurt anyone else, tax payer's money not wasted (well except for the accelerant and a match and cleaning the crispy bits up later).... job done, the end, hoorah.
I have to believe this guy is seriously disturbed and needs a great deal of help.
There's no way to absolve what he did, but I just can't believe this is the action of an even remotely stable individual.
We need to understand what made this person snap, stop it happening to others. Mental health care in WA though, yeesh..
Unless religious or cultural based 'punishment'?
Either way I feel for the poor victim , 60% burns is a world of pain and scarring.![]()
I was attempting to make a point without resorting to a personal attack.
Ok you need to be a little bit fucked in the head to do this to someone period. But I wonder what caused the person to go off the deep end like that - takes 2 to tango.
how could it be anything but a sick and twisted mind at work? either mental illness or just plain sick.
in a crime of passion or anger people will do horrible things, someone may want their victim dead and possibly try to hide the evidence, but they don't burn someone alive or torture them.
if i've got it wrong and this is what a "normal" healthy mind is capable of concocting then any remaining faith i had in humanity is lost.
if your idea of punishment is to think up something equally or more painful for them to go through you're not really that far separated from the animal that committed the crime.
they need to be separated from society, that in itself is a punishment.
Do you remember the good old days before the internet?
when arguments were only entered into by the physically or intellectually able.
