[quote]WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A woman was severely burned Monday after being doused in gasoline and lit on fire outside a 7-Eleven store in South Florida in a dispute with the father of her child, police said. The 34-year-old woman was waiting in her silver Mercedes at the store shortly before 3 a.m., Boynton Beach Police spokeswoman Stephanie Slater said. She was meeting her ex and pick up her 4-year-old son with whom they share custody. Roosevelt Mondesir, 52, arrived in his white Jaguar without the boy and began throwing gasoline on the unidentified woman's car and body, according to a police affidavit. She tried to run away, but police said the man chased her with a knife and then ignited her. In graphic surveillance video, a man can be seen threatening a woman with a large knife, struggling in the doorway of the store. "Get away from me!" she can be heard shouting. They disappear from view until she returns in a massive fireball, screaming and running around the parking lot. Officers searched by foot, with a police dog, and by helicopter before finding Mondesir several hours later in bushes near the 7-Eleven. He was charged with attempted first-degree murder and was being treated for burns at Bethesda Memorial Hospital in Boynton Beach before being transferred to jail. It was not known if he had yet obtained an attorney. The victim was not identified, but she is expected to survive. She was being treated at Delray Medical Center. Police haven't said what led to the attack.[/quote] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUh9FEFcw2k[/media] [url=http://www.policeone.com/patrol-issues/articles/5716504-Video-Fla-woman-doused-in-gas-set-on-fire-at-7-Eleven/]Source[/url]
carry a gun
Holy fucking shit that's terrifying. I can't imagine how anyone could react to being set on fire :tinfoil:
I'll bet he's gonna love being a prison bitch, serves him right.
That's not stop drop and roll. Edit: Or is it? Apparently i'm wrong.
That is fucked up
How effective is stop drop and rolling anyway? I'm guessing why she didn't do it is because of sheer panic.

Jesus fuck, that's absolutely demonic of that guy. Just seeing that raw, choppy footage of her screaming and flailing about on fire is somewhat traumatizing, but that's just me. I don't forget things like that.
Holy fuck, I can't imagine burning to death, that'd be the most painful way to go.
Fucking mentalist. And now dad's in prison and mum has severe burns, just think how that will affect the kid.

Or being shot in all the non vital places and left for the vermin? Fire's a pretty painful way to go, but IMO it's not at the top of the list.

I know it's not the most painful, but I imagine it's the most unpleasant, all your last memories being of pure fear.
What an idiot. If you're going to try to cook someone to death accompanied by a knife, you do it AWAY from the cameras. Seriously, that's fucking stupid that he'd do THAT much over the kid. The kid's probably more traumatized.
[QUOTE=SuperHoboMan;36294419]Holy fucking shit that's terrifying. I can't imagine how anyone could react to being set on fire :tinfoil:[/QUOTE] Stop, drop and roll man

And besides, he wasn't do anything for the kid. The kid wasn't even there. Imagine how that would feel to be 4 years old, and some guy is trying to explain to you that while you were alone, dad assaulted mum and now dad's in jail and mum's in the hospital? I even feel bad for the guy who had to explain that to the kid.
The Fuck.? Why.?
oh my god i had my volume all the way up when the audio came on i fucking through my headphones across the room
[QUOTE=lotusking;36295403]oh my god i had my volume all the way up when the audio came on i fucking through my headphones across the room[/QUOTE] Why would you be listening to headphones on full volume?
Ouch. Also I don't think Stop, Drop and Roll would work if your clothes are drenched with gasoline.
[QUOTE=adam1172;36295591]Ouch. Also I don't think Stop, Drop and Roll would work if your clothes are drenched with gasoline.[/QUOTE] Wouldn't it work if you took your clothes off?

[QUOTE=KirinoKousaka;36295604]Wouldn't it work if you took your clothes off?[/QUOTE] if your in panic mode, that becomes impossible.
Panic mode is superseded by knowledge of your situation. That's why I think she has no idea, well maybe now she does, that 'stop, drop, and roll' is a thing you do when on fire. I can't blame her because A)'help' wasn't far away in the store and B)that guy still tried to kill her with a knife while she was on fire. So in this situation running around like a chicken with its head cut off might just have saved her life.

[QUOTE=imMonkeyGOD;36294477]How effective is stop drop and rolling anyway?

[QUOTE=RichyZ;36296719]the guy was threatening her with a knife before hand gun beats knife man[/QUOTE] She wasn't totally defenseless. She was waving a couple of firearms.
[QUOTE=The golden;36296866]I wouldn't want to reach for a gun when I'm being held at knife-point. Gun only beats knife if you beat knife first.[/QUOTE] did you even watch the video? She wasn't held at knife point, she was inside the 7-11 and he started to try to open the door, and then she started to try to hold the door shut, but he eventually over powered her, opened it, and grabbed her
