"(CNN) -- After being informed that his 20-year-old son was killed while serving in Iraq, a Florida man doused a U.S. government van with gasoline and set it on fire while sitting inside."

Damn

Wow.

"Unfortunately, the man was caught in the fire," a police statement said.

So did he mean to stay in the truck or jsut burn the MF'n van down?

Gas, check
propane bottle, check
torch, check
set Gov van on fire, *kaboom*, check

That is freaky.

"He took the news pretty bad"

Understatement of the day...

Wow.

The report I heard was that he stayed in it intentionally... which is just INSANE!!!

That is what I thought.....but that makes the police statement a little funny. Like it was an unfortunate accident that he also caught fire....

Poor joke time?

Talk about being non-committal. He couldn't even kill himself all the way. *groan*

When he gets better they are going to ship him to Guantanomo as a enemy combatant. Damn terrorists......

Oh man, they show the paramedics putting the dude in the ambulance on the news last night. The guy looked like he was deep fried, and was just all convulsing in pain. Pretty nasty. And not a very good way to kill yourself.
