They could have at least procured a fire extinguisher before setting him alight...idiots.

That's very illuminating. I hope it shed some light on the subject for a few dim fellows who didn't realize that arcing electricity will ignite gasoline. Flaming idiots.

Wait until the Chinese hear......
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

WOW!

Totally the kind of "civilized society" I want to live in.

Sounds like some cops need to be fired immediately and possibly face charges of negligent homicide.

I'd be interested to know what offence he'd committed before being tasered. There's no mention of why the police were called there.

The article said he was threatening to set himself alight and was holding an 'open flame' - the coppers just helped him along I suppose.

Mr Fry, a 20-year-old shop worker, said the pair were ‘heroes’ for jumping on Mr Pimlott with blankets in a bid to put out the flames.
And at least one of the pair was exceedingly dumb.
