LA Man Arrested After Setting Homeless Woman On Fire Sleeping On Bus Bench

Dennis Petillo, 24, of Los Angeles was arrested and booked for investigation of attempted murder after setting a 67-year-old homeless woman on fire as she was sleeping on a bus bench. He is being held on $500,000 bail.

Cops say Petillo spotted the woman sleeping on the bench around 1 a.m. when he poured some type of flammable liquid on her before striking a match and setting her ablaze, said a witness.

The woman lived and is listed in critical condition in the burn unit at a local hospital.

Last week, a 55-year-old man was set on fire as he slept outside a doughnut shop in southern Los Angeles County. No one has been arrested in that crime, or have they?

    Whites such as yourself are coward faggots who hide behind computer screens contemplating how pathetic your life is and realizing that your BLACK president is a reality that you cannot stop. KIll yourself and do the world a favor since we all know that's how scum trash such as yourself deals with adversity, please just don't kill 26 innocent people like your white compadre did a few weeks ago first. FU and I'd say it directly to your face while spitting on you. F your mother for having you the bitch a hoe and cunt for that move.
