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. One officer caught Wood and got him on the ground, where Wood continued to resist, according to the police report.
Another officer shouted a warning, then zapped Wood with the Taser, the report said. Wood immediately burst into flames that covered his torso. The officers were forced to drop their weapons and beat out the flames. Wood said: ‘My complete right half of my upper body is burned. ‘I have bandages from my wrist all the way up my arm and across my chest.’
He admitted he had been inhaling vapours from a chemical cleaner in an attempt to get ‘high’. Wood had been resisting arrest by attempting to bite the officers and lashing out with his feet.
Hey…this is NOT funny. I mean really, it’s NOT.
If that is a picture of him, he is guilty.

#1 – Benjamin (lol)
guilty of what?
one day I hope you are homeless and I stumble across you suffering in the street. I will unzip my fly and proceed to piss on you – all the while laughing.

Apparently editors on Dvorak Uncensored now delete things simply because they don’t care for the content?
You realize you just put yourself on the same level as Guilherme Cherman? What happened to you?
Exactly what posting guidelines are you referencing and how do they apply to a comment about tasering for an article about tasering – and not to endless religious diatribes by Alfred1?
Yeah, I know.

There, now all you have to do is to delete above and below the square brackets.
Did it occur to anyone that it was the vapors from the can that actually caught fire?
#9. I promise I didn’t delete your comment…one of the other editors did. I did however delete the one after you. He said it was old news and that is a violation of posting guideline.
Otherwise I wouldn’t have commented on your comment.

Re: # 11 McCullough
If John did it, it is probably because he thinks it is funny to stir you up.

Yes.
#11 McCullough
Thank you for the courtesy of your reply. In all honesty, I did find it difficult to accept it was you and I did mention that to my friends.
I simply couldn’t imagine you doing it and besides, the #3 note was just too nasty and classless to be you.
#14. NO COMMENT
Haha, now THAT is funny.
Is he really the new senator?
#15 McCullough
In this case I fully concur, although context changes perception, neh?
Weary Reaper,
If you wouldn’t reap so much, you wouldn’t get so weary.

Hey, it’s a job. Somebody’s got to do it. Just imagine the mess otherwise…
You know, if it wasn’t for the odd hours and all the overtime, I wouldn’t be so tired.
Plus… this scythe is damned heavy!
A flaming homeless guy reminds me of the person here in SF who was trying to light a fire inside of a porta pottie to keep warm while sheltering inside on a cold night. The entire plastic structure erupted in flames, and melted all around him. Or her. At first, police thought it was just a prank of burning down a pottie, until the garbage people found the crispy body a day or so later inside. Grim. Funny, but grim. For a similarly funny demise, look for “Dead as a Doda” in the Darwin Awards archives.
In 1960, millions of so-called mentally ill Americans were confined in mental institutions instead of being allowed to roam the streets and share their unique perspectives with the “normal” people.
Thanks to liberal action, by the 1970’s, virtually all the institutions were closed, and armed with their miracle medications, these oppressed people were freed to become productive and infinitely sane citizens.
Aren’t you glad it worked out so well?
#21 Yeah. Good thing we have such trustworthy and sane individuals in positions of power. We should lock up all the destitute and poor in institutions where they wont offend our delicate middle-class sensibilities.

Huffing is seriously bad for your health. Not sure what to say or do for people that want to get high that bad other than pick a spot to plant them. Huffers don’t last long.
