CTA Attack

Following New York City (again) in setting their train passengers on fire:

• A man poured flammable liquid on a woman and set her on fire during an argument aboard a Blue Line train in the Loop on Monday night, Chicago police said.

  At about 9:25 p.m., the 26-year-old woman got into an altercation with the man while they were on a train near Clark and Lake, 124 West Lake Street, according to CPD. During the argument, the man poured a liquid on the woman’s head and ignited it.

  The offender fled when the train stopped at Clark-Lake. Witnesses said he was Black, 40 to 50 years old, and about 5’10” tall. He had some facial hair and wore black clothing with a gray hoodie underneath.

Thanks to CWB for the actual description. The Slum Times, which has spend the last month soliciting photographs of ICE agents engaged in enforcing the Immigration Laws of the United States, described the offender as a "male, about 45 years old." Big fucking help media assholes. 

Who would do such a thing, wandering around with a flammable liquid and ignition source, willing to set anything or anyone on fire?

• how about the person who set the fire at City Hall Friday night? 

From what we're hearing, the descriptions are oddly similar.
