I’ve been trying to find out more about this because the story doesn’t make any sense:

“he approached the sleeping woman, and then lit her on fire with what was believed to be a lighter. She added the victim’s clothes became fully engulfed in a matter of seconds.”

Clothing shouldn’t just be flammable like that without some kind of accelerant.

      Questioning the physics of the story as reported, not the victim. Clearly they’re absolutely blameless.

      Feels like something is missing, either in the reporting or from the cops.

        Wow, I have no idea how you saw that because I deleted it within seconds of writing it when I realized what you meant.

            I honestly said it before I even realized you wrote it and then I saw it was you and was like, “nah, there’s no possible way he’s victim blaming.” So sorry.
