This is better than burning your Nikes to hurt the company's feelings

A SC man set his house - and himself - on fire to get back at his wife.

https://www.thestate.com/news/state/south-carolina/article218121565.html

from the article:
An Inman man tried to burn himself alive in a rental home and setting fire to the house instead, according to a police incident report.
/snip/
The man was soaking wet and had a nose bleed, according to the report. Officers stopped him and asked him what happened.
The man said he was upset with the mother of his children and “just tired of dealing with her,” according to the report. The man then decided to pour gasoline throughout the house.
He told police he laid down on the bed and started the fire, according to the report. The man then realized “fire was hot” and tried to put himself out.

Who says people can't learn and grow from their mistakes. Once he found out that "fire was hot" he took steps to correct the situation.

Hard to believe there are this many crazy people in one county.
The story you linked is from August 31 and took place in Boiling Springs, which is just north of the city of Spartanburg.
The story I posted is Sept 10 and from Inman, which is about 15 miles away in the northern part of the county.

I kind of feel bad now that I'm laughing at the guy. That is one seriously screwed-up looking human.
His picture could be the answer to: Just how in the world can people support Trump?
