Virginia city councilman doused in gasoline and lit on fire in attack at his office

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

This is insane. There is definitely a personal connection here. A crime this gruesome is not typically committed at random.

A man attacked and poured gasoline on a Virginia city councilman before setting him on fire on Wednesday, according to police.

Danville City Councilman Lee Vogler was attacked at the office of local media outlet Showcase Magazine, where he works, in Danville, a small city roughly 45 miles northwest of Greensboro, North Carolina, police said in a statement.

A man entered the office Wednesday morning and confronted Vogler before dousing him in flammable liquid, according to authorities. Vogler and the suspect then exited the building, where the suspect lit Vogler on fire.

Police said Vogler was airlifted to a hospital and that his condition remains unknown.

They got the guy that did it. Shotsie Michael Buck Hayes, they had some personal beef.

Articles allude to the fact that the guy who got burned was cheating with the other guys wife. Or at least the guy believed he was.

Personal beef?

Was that medium rare or well done?

Apparently well done, in this case.

This is serious evil. Real, "go straight to hell and do not pass Go" evil.

Honestly what can a man so in such a situation? Strip all his clothes off and roll on the grass? The pain would prevent you from even being able to do so.

Pure bloody evil.

Honestly, if anyone knows how one can try to survive such an attack please let me know. These stories haunt me and they have to be a fear of anyone.

Nothing you can do. Stop drop and roll is only good for accidentally getting your clothes caught on fire. If you're doused in gas or diesel and lit, you're history. Unless there is a swimming pool within 50 feet you'll be dead within a minute or so.

This can be more effective than a gun at killing someone.

Grab them in a bear hug before it's lit and hold on for dear life. See how brave he is then. Don't just sit there and get doused

Dude, most of these people approach you from behind. They have the lighter already lit, so when they douse you they light you within a second.

Politics has become very dangerous.

You do that in Canada and you both survive, you will be charged with attempted murder for hugging your attacker.

 

[Manonthestreet]

Well you just receive them.

Guy confronted him 1 or 2 step charge and ya have him. Hopefully overweight so they smother some of the flames

 

[Dekster]

There are a few different rumors circulating about this. One is that the wives were hooking up and another that he was stepping out with the attackers' wife another that he steps out a lot. Who knows what the truth is at this point. It'll come out soon enough I suppose.

 

[Dekster]

grapevine word is he has 60% with 2nd and 3rd degree burns but no details on prognosis.

Needs the death penalty.

And bambu can suck it.

Short drop with a sudden stop.

 

[HikerGuy83]

And much more gruesome and slow (to die).

The attacker deserves to be burned at the stake. Slowly.

 

[HikerGuy83]

So, they are saying this guy will be OOC for at least six months. There is a gofund me set up to help not only with medical costs, but also with loss of household income.

I don't care what this guy did.

Any assets of the attacker need to be siezed. If he has a wife...she can live with her mother.

Sell the house and cars and help pay for what this guy will incur just trying to get back to semi-nomal.

Burn victims never fully recover.

The asshole that did this openly admitted he wanted to kill him.

He needs the stake, the gallows, or a firing squad, after watching his family kicked out into the cold.

HOW? not easily----some of those body burns are HOPELESS----the person can linger----and that's about it-----the prognosis is a matter of percentages of body surface-----I have forgotten the details
