Man accused of burning stranger to death in New York

[@patriciabee4690]

The background music is horrible, completely disrespectful to the victim and family. Please remove it.

[@chrome2yourdome]

Agreed

[@Sam19509]

That is the National Post theme music. They use it on all their videos.

[@AS-jx3ki]

So insensitive, that innocent woman died for no reason, may her soul rests in peace 🙏💔

[@patriciabee4690]

Sam That is not true The music for the Jasper Fire is respectful and somber

[@dstacks2301]

Yeah, no shit. Disrespectful National Post.

[@scourdx]

New York is the same place that wants to prosecute Daniel Penny for preventing criminals from hurting others. It's no surprise that people are hesitant to step in when there's so much lawlessness. You could end up facing 20 years in prison just for stopping a criminal. If I lived there, I'd seriously consider leaving before the governor enforces martial law.

[@obnoxiouspriest]

Daniel Penny fucking murdered a man. It's incredibly obvious. This dude lit someone on fire while the NYPD quite literally watched them burn, and did nothing. Your priorities are strange, and don't resemble our earth priorities.

[@tacocanada1888]

no... they prosecuted penny for choking a guy to death

[@Sindhi001]

New York Mayor Eric Adam is talking about mental health services support! Not a word of sympathy for the victim? His remarks are extremely cruel and upsetting!

[@JayS-777]

No those are the 5 seconds of words this reporter chose to include in this one minute video. Why so quick to judge?

A true simpleton. Like the mayor of Chicago.

Not even close to joyful. If that's joyful you must think emo music is uplifting.

Dear God... this is horrific. I don't know what's wrong with people.

Right! They forgot as people looked up n and did NOTHING to help the burning VICTIM!!!... Is this what People have become?.. SOCIETY is sick...

[@priyamorin2461]

The music for the accused CEO killer was really ominous. Wtf is this happy music? Christmas time? 🎄

[@Sindhi001]

I agree with those who condemned the music. It was cruel and upsetting, sounded like they were celebrating the murder. The woke mayor’s cruel comment made it worse.

[@benjaminchioa1668]

Soo sad that New York has a Mayor that doesn’t look after its own people.

[@wendigo53]

Did NYPD give her a ticket for smoking?

[@EvertythingIsOutOfControl]

​@wendigo53 no, but the FBI tried to arrest her for posting critics to the left government in Facebook.

[@honour1320]

First off, this music is WAY too cheery for the story so thats a complete miss for whoever made this. Second, i dont really care about the nuance of mental health for this specific case, the punishment for this should be as extreme as the act.

[@themerrymalcontent7831]

Since I am just now hearing about this story, I assume the victim was not a billionaire or the police would've actually tried to find the perp!

Terrible choice of music, NP. A woman got BURNED to death, for no apparent reason. Your January 6 video sounded more downbeat than this. Clearly you can do better

[@silvanadangelo8511]

Why didn't anyone help her?

[@BananaCologne]

What many people don’t know or seem to understand is that she wasn’t just standing there, passively allowing herself to burn *(re. the comments of “Stop, Drop and Roll”)* as she would have been unable to move due to the fire causing all the soft tissues to contract, which in turn causes the skin to tear and the fat and muscles to shrink from the heat. As the muscles contract from burning, this in turn causes the joints to flex. As a result, burned bodies are often contorted into what’s known as a “Pugilistic Pose” (similar to a Boxing stance). She was most likely reaching for a pole to steady herself upon standing up, and by that point it was already too late. I suspect an accelerant like lighter fuel or some such was splashed over her prior to being set alight, as while clothing etc can indeed catch alight, it’s not as easily flammable as when an accelerant is introduced. She would have instinctively tried to pat herself out, but may have inadvertently helped spread the fuel and possibly stepped in any flammable liquid that had spilled upon the floor of the carriage upon standing up. Basically speaking, I suspect that she didn’t have a chance. 😢 Also, the reason she didn’t make much noise - let alone scream for an extended period of time is due to smoke and fire inhalation, swiftly constricting her oesophageal tract and lungs, thus blocking her airway. Her body would have been overwhelmed with shock and rapidly cascading systemic failure as her nerves burned. There are some truly awful ways to die. This is without a shadow of doubt right up there near the top. I hope this Woman’s memory is at the very least honoured with the justice she deserves. RiP.

[@rainahurst-hodgson9051]

The music is a very weird choice considering the horrifc crime, it feels like an AI was fed the article and picked what it thought was okay and noone on staff decided to actually review the video.

Thank you for not rage baiting with the video title, This is an accurate account of what happened.

[@keiran9114]

What happened then

[@SonnyDlicious]

What happened was an illegal immigrant with many prior records that have been through the woke catch and release propaganda by the far left, lit a human being, the civilian woman on fire as police stood by and did nothing

[@celestial260]

The music choice is completely tactless and disrespectful.

[@GordonJack-g6i]

[@alonsotron3140]

They tried to charge a man with murder for intervening not long ago- why would anyone try to help? NYC is cooked

[@morisn]

Terrifying. It is not good, and it's happening not only in the US. Canada has had its share of random acts of extreme violence such as this one.

[@Libbs24]

How did that work out for Daniel Penny? It's too risky to be a good Samaritan in New York.

[@wendigo53]

@@morisn Yes. Although here in Canada🍁, crazy people don't get guns, so the random killings typically have only one victim.

[@morisn]

@@wendigo53 I couldn't agree with you more. It is also the severity of the individual incident that's amplified when you bear guns. And on that note, I don't buy the argument that guns are only harmful in the hands of bad people. Good people in the wrong moment with a gun can inflict much more damage which often can be irreversible. No amount of regret would bring that person back. Just my rant.
