What kind of kid sets another kid on fire?

October 16th, 2009, 6:49 pm · 5 Comments · posted by Theresa Walker, Editor

What is wrong with kids these days? Five teens in Florida are accused of setting a 15-year-old boy on fire, allegedly in a dispute over a video game.

A video game? Set someone on fire over a stupid video game???

The boy’s screams in a 9-1-1 call will break your heart. God bless the woman who was there to help him.

Did these teens - 13 to 15 years old - play too many video games to the point where they don’t realize if you douse someone with rubbing alcohol and flick a lighter at him he’s going to be burned severely and suffer the rest of his life?

How could anyone do such a thing to someone else?

Maybe they did realize what would happen and didn’t care?

I don’t get it. I really don’t get it.

Do you?

    For the kids that poured alcohol on him and the one that threw the match, they should also be burned alive. Hopefully the victim survives and gets strong enough to to inflict massive pain on the demons that burned him before sending them back to hell. For what they did was no accident, there is no time in jail that will bring justice for the physical pain. The demons will feel the pain in hell, yet that does no good in preventing others from expressing and acting on thier natural behavior.

    Turn the cheek and forgive them as you pat down the dirt on their grave. No ceremony, flowers or poppet. No last words, no final respect. Mommy doesn’t get to say good bye here. She lost that opportunity when she didn’t spank him after he killed the niebors cat. Well before then when he gave his little sister a beating and mom told the hospital she fell down the stairs. Its too late, you have forfeited your life when you can after being arrested for stealing a bike, return to set an innocent person on fire.

    It makes me wonder about the parents and the environment where these kids grew up. What makes a child think it’s okay to do that? Are they desensitized to things like this? It’s horrible and I hope the victim survives. Poor child!

    we need to begin a massive genome project. we will call it ‘the stupidity reduction project’ we need to figure out who will give birth to stupid kids by way of genetics and sterilise them. this will then result in all the stupid heartless poeple dying off and allow our countrys poeple to gradualy regain what made the usa what it once was. from personal experience, i hated being in a room with 29 other dumbasses who could care less when i was in high school. its time to start this project now if we want to save our species from destruction.
