I got a chuckle out of this. I don't know if its the story or the mugshot that pushes this one over the top.




Homeless man bursts into flames after being Tasered by U.S. police

A homeless man caught fire after U.S. police shocked him with a Taser gun, it has been revealed.

Daniel Wood, 31, was allegedly sniffing gas from an aerosol can as he ran through traffic when he was chased by two officers in Lancaster, Ohio.

Tasers are used too readily these days, IMHO.

I don't think the people who witnessed a man burning alive thought it was funny. But I sure as hell do! Of all the ways in the world to get high, sniffing an aerosol can? I mean there are things all around you that can get you high, and you choose to huff gas? I just don't understand these people...

Doesn't look like compassion or empathy isn't their strong suit.

There will always be low-lifes in the world who find that sort of thing amusing, I guess.
