New York Man Accused Of Setting Girlfriend On Fire

Wow, I got my girlfriend a sweater for Christmas.

Mount Vernon police said 20-year-old Master Dobson is being charged with assault. Dobson told police he was playing with matches when his 18-year-old girlfriend was burned.

First of all, what assholes names their kid Master? Secondly, I think we've all learned now that mom wasn't kidding about the playing with matches thing.

Police arrested Dobson, charging him with intentionally setting his girlfriend on fire after he doused her with rubbing alcohol during an argument.P

I'm so mad I'm going to clean you, and clean you good!

Chong said Dobson began flicking matches at her during an argument and one of the matches caught on her clothing, which went up in flames.

Perfect example of not thinking about the possible consequences of your actions. I mean, sure, who has thrown fire during a domestic arguement but hell, I wouldn't douse anyone in flammable liquid before hand. That's just dangerous.

The incident took place Saturday at Dobson's Mount Vernon home on Union Avenue. Police said Dobson accidently cut his girlfriend and had used alcohol to clean out the wound.

"I was simply trying to intensify the pain, not burn her."

He said the fire started because he was playing with matches.

From now on parents, warn your children on the danger of playing with matches. And try to add in the danger of dousing others in flammable chemicals.
