Regina Santos-Aviles, 35, died on Sept. 14 after she doused herself with an accelerant and set herself ablaze at her home on Geraldine Avenue in Uvalde, Texas, Bexar County officials determined.

What a horrible way to go. Self-immolating isn't really a typical suicide plan, is it? I'm sure the Uvalde PD did a thorough job investigating it, and are total professionals, and there's no chance they are covering something up and it was really a murder.

... Wait, that town sounds familiar, where did I hear of that place before?

Of course the Republican rep carries on life as usual when his affair partner sets herself on fire

Waiting to hear how she shot herself in the back of the head six times before the immolation

It's a lag thing. Sometimes you click the shoot button 6 times with perfect aim off the wall but it doesn't seem like it loads, so you just drop a cocktail and it all suddenly loads at once.

Life is a simulation I hear

It's pretty rare that anyone does that. The only cases I'm aware of is someone doing a protest.

Ima bet poison then burning the body.

Ah yes, refusing to release documents you are required to by law. Nothing fishy there.

Gaslight someone enough and they will eventually light the match themselves.
