A Florida man is recovering from burns on up to 50 percent of his body after he reportedly set himself on fire while trying light a cross-burning decoration for Halloween.
According to Florida Today, Palm Bay police identified 50-year-old Ron Nielson as the man being treated for burns by Palm Bay Fire-Rescue crews on Tuesday evening.
“He was conscious and alert but he had second-degree burns over 40 to 50 percent of his body, including his chest, arms, upper torso,” Palm Bay Police Department spokesperson Yvonne Martinez said.
Palm Bay police described the incident as a “prank” that included using candles and gasoline to light a wooden cross along the side of his home. “It started as some kind of prank apparently and involved a wooden cross,” Martinez explained. “We don’t know if he was trying to light the cross or the candles but when he did, his clothes caught fire.”

Some "prank". Hope he recovers and his scars remind him of his bigotry for the rest of his days.
long and painful. 
- Obviously since Halloween's still a few days off, this was just a test. So let's hope he's well enough to try it again on Halloween!
