Five killed as man sets woman and three children on fire in car near Seatt

:cry:

A man doused his girlfriend and three small children with gasoline inside a car and set them on fire early Wednesday as he drove, authorities said. All five died after the car crashed in flames.

Residents reported hearing the crash and seeing two adults engulfed in flames, stumbling across a road near Bonny Lake, a small town east of Tacoma.

Antigone Monique Allen, 18, who had recently filed an assault complaint against the 24-year-old man, survived for about nine hours at a Seattle hospital, sheriff's Detective Ed Troyer said. She managed to tell investigators what happened before she died.

"She was very brave and talked to detectives this morning," Troyer said.

If you can't have it anymore, piss on it so no one else will want it, either.

10. This type of thing always sets me wondering

about fairnes & justice in this universe. Although I don't subscribe to the heaven/hell judgmental God ideology ....there's just got to be some kind of reckoning in these things.
