Idiot of the Week Award: 37 Year Old Austin Dawkins Sets Wife Jessica on Fire with Lighter at Gas Station in Georgia … Face Criminal Charges of Reckless Conduct

GOOD GRIEF, ARE THERE REALLY PEOPLE THIS FRIGGIN STUPID?

37 year old Austin Dawkins has been charged with reckless conduct after he “accidentally” set his wife, 30 year old Jessica Dawkins, on fire at a gas station in Georgia. Accidentally? Exactly what did this moron think would happen when you expose a flame from a cigarette lighter to gasoline fumes? Jessica Dawkins suffered suffered second and third degree burns to her legs, arms, back and head. Jessica Dawkins was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital for treatment. She has since been released.

Arraignment for Dawkins is scheduled for Monday. Reckless conduct is a misdemeanor with a maximum penalty of a year in prison and a fine of up to $1,000. This fool is lucky he is not being charged with homicide or manslaughter, had his wife died.

From CNN:

A Georgia man will face criminal charges for accidentally setting fire to his wife by flicking his lighter near his pickup truck’s gas tank while refueling.

Austin Dawkins, 37, of Clarkesville will be charged with reckless conduct, according to a statement from the state fire safety commissioner, Ralph Hudgens.

Dawkins’ wife, 30-year-old Jessica Dawkins, suffered second- and third-degree burns to her legs, arms, back and head at a Clarkesville gas station on October 16, Hudgens said.

This is just another example of you cannot legislate ignorance.

This moron cannot read or think. There is a required sign to turn off you engine when refueling. Gasoline fumes will be pushed out of the tank into the air when filling the tank. Once the air to fuel ratio is reached, any ignition source will create a fire. He is lucky that the vehicle did not blow up.

This idiot kept his hand on the fuel trigger and pulled it out of the tank filler pipe spraying burning fuel over his wife and the back of the car.

I hope the burns heal without leaving scars.
