Convict sets woman on fire while riding a Chicago train

Lady set ablaze.

CHICAGO — Here’s further proof President Donald Trump did the right thing by deploying the National Guard to Chicago. Lawrence Reed, 50, was thrown in the slammer after he set 26-year-old Bethany MaGee on fire while riding the city’s Blue Line train. The cowardly act of arson 🔥 transpired around 9:30 p.m. Monday night. Lawrence — who’s black — and Bethany were reportedly squabbling about something trivial when he doused her with a flammable liquid and set her ablaze. Then he and the other passengers stood and watched as MaGee’s body was engulfed in flames. Nobody helped her. “Burn bitch!” Lawrence yelled. “Burn alive, bitch!” As soon as the train stopped, Lawrence fled like a lil bitch. Bethany stumbled out the exit and onto the concourse before collapsing. The Shish kabobbed damsel was transported to Stroger Hospital with severe burns. “I just saw a lady that was lying on the ground, and they were trying to give her CPR,” an eyewitness recounted.

And she looked like she was in an awful lot of pain.”

Lawrence was later arrested and charged with committing a terrorist attack on a mass transit system.

Social media reaction was off the chain. One commenter wrote, “President Trump has already sent the National Guard to Chicago. He should probably deploy the Marines too.” Another chimed in with, “Time to ban lighter fluid.” A third person added, “But, of course, Democrats and the media will somehow make him the victim, pay his attorney fees and set him up with a GoFundMe page.”

What’s my take?

Splashing gasoline on a female and flicking a lighter is a pussy move of epic proportions.

That’s why women must eschew having contretemps with modern men.

Too many of ’em are emotional bitches who will maltreat you at every opportunity.

Sadly, running afoul of the law is nothin’ new to Lawrence.

The convicted felon had 22 prior arrests, and he pleaded guilty to arson in 2020 — receiving a measly two years of mental health probation.

Lawrence, who’s also homeless, was donning an ankle monitor during the attack.

“This would never have happened if this thug had been behind bars,” said Transport Secretary Sean Duffy.

“Chicago lets repeat offenders roam the streets. Chicago’s carelessness is putting the American people at risk. No one should ever have to fear for their life on the subway.”

Passenger Matt Cermak echoed a homogeneous sentiment.

“Everybody is struggling with the CTA and the safety levels,” he said.

“The city needs to get very focused on the CTA, on crime prevention. These incidents seem to be happening too often.”

Bethany, a churchgoer who graduated from Purdue University, suffered third-degree burns to 60 percent of her body.

She’s alive, but maimed nonetheless.

Many residents want Mayor Brandon Johnson recalled (à la Frank White).

Is it time to start a petition?

Watch Mayor Johnson confabulate CTA safety changes.

  1. Out on bail for aggravated assault and battery with ankle monitor and with previous arson charges! Why was this person released into the public, the judge who gave bail should have a serious inquiry!

  2. He had 22 prior arrests. Why was he out on the streets??! Chicago is a disaster, but the liberals seem to love it and keep voting blue. I’ll never understand it. We are not the same.

  3. Where’s the outrage from the blacks, crickets. Wonder why people don’t want them in civil society,
    give thanks for the great contributions of the African American community to our
    society. Their peaceful and generous nature make them ideal
    neighbors, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and
    parenting skills unrivaled by any culture. Their commitment to
    academic excellence enriches our schools anThis would be a great opportunity to pause a momentd serves as an example to
    all who hope to achieve prominence as a people. Real estate values
    are fueled by the mix of African Americans into an area due to their
    caring and respectful nature of these communities. And we must not
    forget their abhorrence to crime and dedication for observing the
    law. Without their industrious and creative drive, we would be poorer
    as a nation. They are truly our most under appreciated natural
    resource.

  4. Get your shit 💩 together Chicago! Trump needs to send the military y’all are S.A.F.!

  5. Well clearly this Fellow WANTS to be incarcerated,
    Can We please honor His wishes this time!?!?

    The judges are as insane as he is!

  6. They haven’t been held accountable for over 50 years so that’s why their behavior is totally out of control.

  7. This is exactly why lynchings were popular at one point.
    Remove these monkey savages from society for good.

  8. This man should not have been walking the streets to begin with. When is our judicial system going to start making people with these kinds of crimes and records start paying for their crimes instead of slapping them on the wrist, giving them some type of mental illness issue And setting them back out on the streets. This man knew exactly what he was doing and if they have video showing him purchasing gasoline right before this crime was committed that in my opinion means it was premeditated. They should charge him with pre-meditated attempted murder. I also think it is very disgusting for people to have been on the train and watching what was going on and not assisting this poor woman. Our world is going to hell in a handbasket.

  9. I’ve said this many times — there is a massive mental-health crisis in the African-American community that no one wants to talk about.

  10. HATE ATTACK!! CAPITAL PUNISHMENT !!! NO MORE!! STOP THIS KNOW !! ACT OF TERRORISM!!

  11. Civil rights movement was a mistake. Mlk Jr would be embarrassed and ashamed.

  12. Of course, the usual suspects 🤦🏽‍♂️day after day, week after week, year after year, this community doesn’t improve, doesn’t hold itself accountable, doesn’t even acknowledge the top to bottom problems it has. This will pass, and tomorrow there will be another one. Prayers for the victim 🙏🏽

  13. Black violence and criminality is the biggest problem in America in right now. Responsible for the MAJORITY of our crimes. So SICK of watching this madness. It’s stuff like this that makes me understand why my ancestors did the things they did. We don’t have to live like this!

  14. That woman went through something unimaginable, and it never should’ve been possible. All those warnings and nothing changed.

  15. Death Penalty ASAP! Idc about race, gender or sexual orientation. I’m tired of these inhumane motherfuckers!😡

  16. Who in the hell are all of these people who just get out of the way when someone is attacked??? What kind of people have we become. Same thing that happened to the woman raped on the bus.

  17. We cannot coexist with these people. We tried, it failed. These people are animals.

  18. White woman gets hurt by a black man but there was no hate crime involved? If it was the other way around there would be so many yelling hate crime. This has happened so many times the past few years with out ANY hate crime added to the charges. They act like only white people are racists no way can a black or other race person be a racists. Its so sickening to see this is how the world is. 😢😢😢

  19. He needs to be set on f-i-r-e himself, but slowly start out on his legs do that for an hour or so then move up an eye for an eye if you wanna act like an animal, then you get treated like a animal he doesn’t deserve to spend the rest of his life in jail. He made someone suffer for the rest of her life . He needs to be treated just like he treated this lady. an eye for an eye.

  20. Got the gas then went looking for a victim. It’s 100% a hate crime. Why is it when someone is white and attacks a black person it’s a hate crime. But if a black man starts a white woman on fire, it’s terrorism?

  21. So a monster walks around with gasoline to set his victims on fire 🔥 😡😡😡

  22. Black hate against white!!! I’m tired of this crap! My opinion it’s time to reverse this behavior!!!

  23. I say give the nigga the exact same punishment. Pour some gasoline on his ass and strike a match.

  24. They need to remove Brandon from his position immediately. What are Chicago citizens waiting for?

  25. Charged with a “Terrorist attack on a mass transit system” ?. It was a bit more personal than that. Now, charge him for murder/attempted murder under State law, add a Hate Crime enhancement and a 2nd Federal Civil Rights charge. If the races were reversed, she would have been identified as a “black woman” within seconds.
