Gasoline-Huffing Man Bursts Into Flame After Being Tased |
2009-07-21 |
![]() I hate when that happens. Sound ridiculous? Not so much if you know the man was arrested on suspicion of huffing gasoline. The man pretty immediately went up in flames, and the officer, recognizing that a man becomes significantly less dangerous once he's on fire, went to the suspect's aid, patting him all over (and getting burned himself) to quell the flames. While the officer tried to help the flammable man, he was hit by rocks thrown by a young woman also on the scene, also presumably high or stupid or both. Both the man and woman, as well as two others, were charged with sniffing a prohibited substance, and the young woman was charged with throwing rocks at a policeman. |

#9 Dang, not even just a 'controlled substance', it's outright prohibited. So, what do they run their cars on down under? Most vehicles in the aboriginal communities are diesel. They have introduced aviation fuel as a substitute for petrol. Apparently you can't get high sniffing it. Arguably the problem is alcohol is banned in many of these places and you have to drive a couple of hundred kilometers to buy it anyway. |
