Man sets gay-faced GOP Councilman on FIRE!

Bless her heart

What an informative story from CNN. They don't even tell you whether the cookie-sniffer was injured.

The suspect, identified by police as Shotsie Michael Buck Hayes, 29, fled the area, but witnesses provided a description of him and his vehicle.

Brooks said Vogler was able to identify his alleged attacker.

The two men know each other and the attack “stems from a personal matter not related to the victim’s position on the Danville City Council or any other political affiliation,” police said in the statement.

“Shotsie”?

Presenting Mr. Shotsie Michael Buck Hayes.

DL showing its usual compassion.

Lovers' quarrel. Shotsie (means sweetie in German) must have been jilted. This type of crime is emotional. He did not intend to kill the closeted, gay-faced politician, he just wanted to hurt him. Very sad.

Well, he DOES look like a flamer.

I can't imagine any gay man being caught dead wearing the fishing hat he did in the facebook photo where he's giving away tickets to some sporting event...

My sympathy because no one deserves to be set on fire like that. One of the most horrific things that can happen to a person.

You're right, it's so common. I prefer being set on fire more dramatically and yelling "Balenciaga!"

Excuse me. Shotsie now goes by Hotsie.

Boy he'll have a story to tell at the Scratch 'N Sniff this weekend!

was homosexuality a motive?

I was almost set on fire looking at his photo.

R9 the hat is a Danville Otterbots bucket hat. Appalachian league baseball team.

Shotsie Buck's wife filed for divorce two weeks ago. Maybe she found out about their gay relationship. And then Vogler dumped him, not wanting their relationship exposed. Does Vogler look like the type of guy who would have an affair with another woman? I think not.

Buck would never have used gasoline. Except when they started to call him Shotsie.

More likely, Vogler had an affair with Buck's wife. But what a horrible thing to have happened.

R18 - that's the local scuttlebutt.

CNN couldn’t find a better photo? That network needs to fold already.

poor guy. sounds methy

At least the Repug is gay friendly. Hmmm.

On further investigation of his FB page (guess I'm obsessed now), he does not seem like a right-wing MAGA type. And he's kinda cute in a thin-lipped White Guy way. Not my type. But def gayface. Sorry this happened to him.

My money is that Shotsie was in a bearding/green card marriage.

In India, we do this when we have too many doubts about the candidate.

r10 Agreed, it's up there with having acid thrown in your face. Irreversible damage, no one ever looks at you the same way again, even those who knew you from before.

One of the stations said they flew Vogler to a “local” hospital. Duke is the closest medical center with a burn unit. That’s not local. Pedantic I know. This drives me nuts.

If you’ve ever been to Danville, it’s the kind of place where you’d expect this kind of thing to happen. That place is a bit strange.

Regardless of the reason why, what a horrible way to die. I really would not wish that on anyone.

Sending healing energy....

I’m sure Danville, Virginia is better than Danville, Illinois.

Vogler's family Instagram. He has a wife and two kids. Seems like a really nice guy.

It’s no Danville, CA

The name “Shotsie” seems like a red flag. Avoid.

This thread really brought out the sociopathic wing of DL. The guy gets attacked at his workplace and horrifically burned and the main takeaway here is he has gayface?

Not anymore.

Yeha, he was fucking Shotsie's wife.

Are you posting from 1957?

A news report yesterday said he was flown to Chapel Hill rather than Duke.

He smiled liked that, not us.

He has burnface.

I was convinced it was a gay quarrel gone wrong but the Newsom lookalike seems to have fucked or stolen the crazy pyro's GF.

Girls will be Girls!

"Magazine owner describes moment a city councilman in Virginia was set on fire"

Andrew Brooks, owner and publisher of Showcase Magazine, describes how one of his employees, Danville City Council member Lee Vogler, was set on fire by an attacker while working at his Virginia office, on Wednesday.

I wonder if it was regular or premium?

We can be pretty certain it wasn't Ethyl.

When he lit the councilman on fire, did it smell like cookies?

Shotsie Buck confessed to police that he wanted to kill Lee, but this was seriously an emotional crime of passion. Some rumors say that the victim cheated with the perp's estranged wife. If that were the case, why didn't the perp go after the ex-wife? I still think it's a jilted lover situation between the men until proven otherwise.

Scroll down for picture of Shotsie's wife

Trump will blame woke Dems of course

The wife of Vogler is intensely supporting her husband. Not the behavior of a woman whose partner and father of her children cheated on her, is it?

R49, what would you expect her to do in these circumstances?

Did the check bounce?

R49 Yeah, did you want her to say the cheating asshole deserved it? Anyhow, this guy is fucked, burns on 60% of his body, and not the good kind of burns. If he doesn't die of an opportunistic infection, he won't be banging anyone's wife again. That Shotsie guy is gross and has crazy eyes and this Vogler guy is gross too. To quote Norm...

Lots of buzz on social media about this. Shotsie’s wife filed for divorce a few weeks ago and Burn Victim was having an affair with her. The two families had been friends for years.

I feel bad for the little kids, as usual. All they know is Daddy’s friend Shotsie tried to burn Daddy to death and now Daddy is in critical condition, excruciating pain, and looks like a monster.

This is so sad regardless of the circumstances. He is/was very Gavin Newsom looking.

What was on the crispy councilman's iPod?

The Pointer Sisters

The Boss, of course.

r52, didn't you get the safety memo? You must be THIS cunty to ride The Datalounge.

Of course the husband's injuries are horrific, even for a Repug. I also posted that he's at least moderate, having issued a welcome to the LGTBQ community in his city. Also, despite a lot of assumptions regarding the perp's divorce, my gut sense is that the boyishly innocently looking and impeccably groomed local politician wouldn't cheat with anyone who didn't have a penis.
