CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas -- A group of men set a homeless man ablaze as he slept in an attack captured on surveillance videotape.

Police were looking for up to eight men who participated in the attack Tuesday outside an agency that helps the homeless. The victim, Lucas Adama Wiser, 21, remained hospitalized Thursday with third-degree burns.

A surveillance videotape at Corpus Christi Metro Ministries showed a dark sport utility vehicle and a smaller vehicle pulling up to Wiser and setting him on fire. It was unclear whether his attackers doused him with a flammable liquid.

"Then you see the fire and they ran off," police Capt. John Moseley told the Corpus Christi Caller-Times in Thursday's editions.

Police could not identify license plate numbers from the video and have not released the surveillance tape.

9. Surely, one of them will break and turn himself in.

Surely, one of the eight is sickened by his own participation and struggling with a guilty conscience.

11. Come on. It was like a fraternity hazing.

Besides, homeless people have committed crimes in the past, so this guy was probably a criminal anyway so he deserved what he got.
