Horrific moment store clerk in crime-ridden Bay Area is set on FIRE with stolen lighter fluid by serial shoplifter, leaving him suffering from second and third-degree burns
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Store clerk Suraj can be seen trying to wrestle with 38-year-old Kendall Burton, who is homeless

  • The footage shows Suraj's head consumed by flames as a co-worker tried to help

  • The attack took place at the Appian Food and Liquor in El Sobrante in Oakland

Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office told CBS News that the 38-year-old is facing charges including assault with a deadly weapon, battery, arson and robbery and is being held without bail.

The county's district attorney is Diana Becton - a progressive whose 2022 election campaign was funded by George Soros to the tune of $1 million. Crime has surged in the county, with burglaries rising by a third, while car thefts jumped by a fifth and rapes soared by 7.5 percent the same year.

Neighboring Alameda County - which includes Oakland - has seen huge spikes in crime, with an effort to recall progressive DA Pamela Price underway.

It is a similar story across the Bay Bridge in San Francisco, where ultra-progressive DA Chesa Boudin was booted from office last year by voters unhappy with his track record on tackling crime.

Meanwhile, Suraj's wife Sabeena said that there's still a long road to recovery for her husband and is raising funds for his physical and mental care after the ordeal.

Sabeena started a fundraiser hoping for $100,000 in donations but despite hundreds hoping to help out is still a long way from that goal.

In a post to the GoFundMe she outlined the 'horrific work place incident' that landed her husband Suraj in the care of San Francisco's Saint Francis Memorial Hospital.

#1 Held without bail? In the Bay Area? Surprised they aren’t charging the burn victim with resisting reparations.

#2 And now nobody will risk anything to stop the crime, more businesses will shut down, and the last people with money will leave.

At that point big money liberals that are in on the plan will buy up all the vacant super-cheap land, Lock up the criminals and oust the homeless and restore San Francisco.
