What happened here? Police say it was from a personal matter. Closeted or religious fanatic? or both?
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.

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.

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!"

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.

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.

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.

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?
