Video: Darwin Contestant Sets Himself On Fire During Arson Attempt

We’ve all had situations where we are unhappy with a business, and most of the sane population simply chooses to refrain from visiting that business in the future. Sure, we might tell our friends, or even post our experience on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, but typically we just want others to know of our frustrations.

Then there’s this guy, who felt that he, perhaps, didn’t like his last haircut or that he was not treated properly, and he decided to retaliate against a barbershop in Kentucky by setting it on fire. But things didn’t go exactly as planned, and his actions made him a victim to his own stupidity.

When the Ford minivan first pulled up, a woman was seen exiting the rear sliding door and she appeared to break a front window. After she was satisfied with her part in this act, she got back into the minivan never to be seen again. Then Mr. Brainiac stepped up and began the process of collecting his very own Darwin award.

darwinfirethMolotov cocktails are meant to be thrown a fair distance, not lobbed into an inanimate object, as we see in the video above. While the first attempted cocktail seemed to hit its mark, he came back for a second attempt and fail was his biggest asset that time.

When he tried to toss the cocktail through the broken window, he missed, and when the bottle bounced back he became a human Molotov cocktail as his leg caught fire. He jumped and flailed around, then ran half way around the building, still on fire, and dove into the grass head first. When he got up, his shoe was still burning so he left it behind, smoldering in the parking lot.

Like the Darwin participant he is, he comes back, shoeless, and attempts to throw another Molotov cocktail into the building.

As if it wasn’t enough to nearly burn himself down, he comes back around, grabs another bottle of liquid stupidity and tosses it onto the fire. Darwin was made for guys like this.

So if you’re in the Kentucky area and you really want to see this guy, and his accomplish, collect the attention they deserve – and his Darwin award, you can contact the Madisonville, Kentucky, Police Department as noted in the video.
