Sex Offender Sets Self On Fire as Cops Try to Serve Warrant - Polidicks

[quote] A convicted sex offender burned to death when he set himself on fire as authorities served a warrant at his rural Tulsa County home Thursday. Tulsa County sheriff's deputies and state Pardon and Parole Board officers were sent to a house in the 14100 block of East Apache Street to contact Johnnie Joe Hobbs, 47, Capt. John Bowman said. After finding the house empty, the squad peered into a cargo van that sat in the cluttered yard about 3 p.m. Hobbs, who was in the van, reached out and slammed the door shut, Bowman said. He then doused the van with gasoline and ignited it, Bowman said. Medics pronounced him dead at the scene. Bowman said Hobbs had spent time in prison and had indicated that he would do anything to avoid capture. "There are a lot of people that will do a lot of things to keep from going back to jail," he said. "To use a flammable liquid to ignite where they are, I have not seen that before." Investigators from the Tulsa Fire Department searched through the charred van into the evening, working around piles of garbage that were scattered about the property on the northeastern edge of Tulsa County. Bowman said that because of the volatile nature of the incident, firefighters didn't immediately enter the van to douse the flames. There were concerns that Hobbs might have been armed, but no weapons were found after a preliminary search. About 30 minutes after Hobbs set the vehicle ablaze, authorities entered it and discovered his body in the cab, Bowman said. The deputies had intended to serve three protective orders on Hobbs, and the parole officers were sent to revoke his suspended sentence for a Muskogee County conviction, Bowman said. A relative of Hobbs' gave officials a key to the house, and two of his siblings were in the area as the van burned, Bowman said. Hobbs was the subject of protective orders in both Tulsa and Rogers counties, court records indicate. He also had been convicted of showing obscene material to a child, lewd molestation and making lewd proposals to a child.

[QUOTE=noahh;18041392]You can't die from cannabis abuse.[/QUOTE] Fill your throat 'till you are unable to breath :downs: Not smoke related.

He should have gotten out of the kitchen.

Just turn your brain off. Works every ti-...

I have this burning desire to make a pun right now...

Ninjas can't catch you if you're on fire. Same for police.

[QUOTE=noahh;18041392]You can't die from cannabis abuse.[/QUOTE] Yea, lung cancer is fake anyway.

[QUOTE=BANNED USER;18044721]I have this burning desire to make a pun right now...[/QUOTE] Listen I don't have the time, im rather engulfed in my paperwork.

[QUOTE=evilweazel;18044786]Yea, lung cancer is fake anyway.[/QUOTE] Cannabis kills the cells before they become cancerous. As long as you're not constantly baked, like maybe a few days between smokes, your lungs will heal up just fine from loosing a few cells. Way to research. And even if you did smoke 24/7/365 it still probably wouldn't kill you. [editline]02:56PM[/editline] :iceburn:

[QUOTE=noahh;18041392]You can't die from cannabis abuse.[/QUOTE] No one has ever died directly from cannabis usage, you can't even OD on it. It's not toxic enough, it could not kill.

[QUOTE=evilweazel;18044786]Yea, lung cancer is fake anyway.[/QUOTE] Cancer can't catch you if you eat it. While on fire.

I'd rather kill myself than go to prison, too. Hell if the cops ever try to fucking take me to jail I'd take the nearest sharp object and slit my own throat. Going to prison is as close to hell as I'd like to be, especially with someone like me, and if I were to get out, then shit, that would be fucked over to. Most people are in there for so long they lose social skills, the world has drastically changed, and they're unable to find jobs or anything. I mean, there are people who are just getting out who don't know what the internet is, or how to use an MP3 player or work a modern. TV remote
