(Nov 4 05, 12:32)That's interesting. From what i read, youths burnt a bus and a woman on crutches was caught in the fire. Not doused in petrol deliberately.

"On Thursday night, a gang of youths invaded a bus, flung petrol on the floor and set the vehicle alight. A disabled woman, unable to flee like others, was gravely burnt."
That kinda puts a different spin on that incident. Something about the Drudge report that you linked to on unsubstantiated Associated Press reports makes me think that someone is trying really hard to charicaturise the rioters as a sadistic bunch setting disabled womenon fire.
That seems out of character. For what i've read, the mob violence is directed at property and authority (i.e. police) rather than disabled women.
Gotta be careful of your news sources there Cactii.
