Editor’s note: the following story contains graphic video.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A woman was severely burned Monday after being doused in gasoline and lit on fire outside a 7-Eleven store in South Florida in a dispute with the father of her child, police said.
The 34-year-old woman was waiting in her silver Mercedes at the store shortly before 3 a.m., Boynton Beach Police spokeswoman Stephanie Slater said. She was meeting her ex to pick up her 4-year-old son for whom they share custody.
Roosevelt Mondesir, 52, arrived in his white Jaguar without the boy and began throwing gasoline on the unidentified woman’s car and body, according to a police affidavit. She tried to run away, but police said the man chased her with a knife and then ignited her.
In graphic surveillance video, a man can be seen threatening a woman with a large knife, struggling in the doorway of the store. “Get away from me!” she can be heard shouting.
They disappear from view until she returns in a massive fireball, screaming and running around the parking lot.
Officers searched by foot, with a police dog, and by helicopter before finding Mondesir several hours later in bushes near the 7-Eleven. He was charged with attempted first-degree murder and was being treated for burns at Bethesda Memorial Hospital in Boynton Beach before being transferred to jail.
It was not known if he had yet obtained an attorney.
The victim was not identified, but she is expected to survive. She was being treated at Delray Medical Center.
Police haven’t said what led to the attack.

Posted on June 19, 2012 at 2:49amI saw video of this happening where they put what the 911 operator and her were saying up on the screen and the 911 operator asked if he was white! I saw it at the beginning of Nancy Grace, but when they showed the story later in the show, the showing of words spoke stopped just short of the question. I tried to find that same part of video to no avail. I know what I saw, though. I am not surprised, as it was in Florida, and they’re just looking for more reasons to get race riots going…but to think they have 911 operators trained to be race baiters is crazy!

She died and my neighbor went to her services.

One is because we have to consider race. Much of the press won’t report it. To not exercise our own judgement would make us uninformed lemmings. Those would would keep us ignorant live in gated communities or are Kool aid drinking liberals waiting to be mugged.
The FBIs uniform Crime Report shows us the disparity in the crimes between races. So we wisely prejudge so that we don’t walk into the wrong neighborhoods. If Eric Holder waved a wand & arbitrarily stopped reporting on the race of the victim & perpetrator, then thru the grape vine or thru watching news reports over a period of time we could come up with the right conclusion.
What we need is stuff like how black leaders & Korean American leaders got together in south Houston to over come difference. what we usually get is Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson the NBP & NOI.

I would read it. I am more interested in why, when & how in that order. The why is forensic psychology. The when I want to know to see societal trends. The how is not so interesting except you might figure out how to protect yourself. but that is part the why & when too.
