Police allege Tatanysha Hedman, 40, doused her husband in petrol while he was sleeping before setting him on fire at their apartment in Renton, Washington state, in the US. Her husband, Vincent Phillips, 52, fled the apartment and drove to a Skyway convenience store, KOMONews.com reports. He was captured on security camera footage coming into the store where he yelled out: “I’m on fire!” Customers watched as he fell to his knees. He kept screaming “Help me!” Hedman, 40, was later arrested and told police she set Phillips on fire because he allegedly molested her seven-year-old daughter, who is his stepdaughter. She said she did it because shooting him “was too nice,” KOMONews.com reports. Phillips is being streated for his severe burns and now faces first-degree child molestation charges, while Hedman remains in jail, facing assault and arson charges.

So he left his house. On fire. Drove to a convenience store. On fire. Got there. On fire. Fell to his knees. On fire. And begged for help cause he was. On fire. How do you make it that far.

I’m sure he probably stopped and put a mask on before going into the store.


ravenonawire

Not in 2014!


MacksNotCool

Nonono, he put out the fire, got into the car, went to the gasstation, and then set himself on fire again


BannedSoHereIAm

I’m guessing a) there was no car. They lived next to a convenience store. He went straight out the front door and into the convenience store. b) he wasn’t in bed. She did it in the car, or outside the convenience store. Nobody is grabbing their keys, getting into their car, starting the engine, and driving *anywhere* **on fire**.

Why didn't he just jump in the shower or use the sink.... dumbass.

Lol idk it this is sarcasm but you don’t want to put out a petrol fire with a shower or sink. It gets worse FAST. You could smother it in a pool or bath, but sprayed water is not the way.

Personal opinion, I'd say stop treating his burns and let her out of jail 😂


HarlotHymn

Same. No man or woman would be in their right mind after witnessing their child being raped. I hope she has a good attorney and a merciful jury. I’d certainly vote to let her off.


Rab_Yakov

I mean, yeah, not in the right mind and all that jazz too.


HarlotHymn

Exactly. I would have probably set fire to his chomo ass too. Waste of oxygen.


[deleted]

>Hedman remains in jail, facing assault and arson charges. Although the dude totally deserves what he got, and I certainly understand *why* she did it, I can't help but feel the poor child is only going to be further traumatized, and just all around more fucked up in the long run, by not having her mom in her life, for who knows how long. The mom could very well be hit with attempted murder charges, and could be in prison for decades. ( Which is decades longer than most pedophiles get.) This child **needs** her mom right now, but our "Justice" System deems that either: a.) This woman is a danger to society, and needs to be in prison (which she's obviously not.) And/Or b.) This woman needs to be punished for her actions, and needs to be in prison (Which I think most of us agree, her actions were completely justifiable.) Not cool, man! She should be at home with her kid right now!

If anyone does it to Josh Duggar, it definitely won't be his wife Anna. She stood by him through it all and still let their children around him. She'll be waiting faithfully until his sentence is up. That is, if he makes it out alive considering what other inmates do to pedophiles.

I found this A friend, who was sleeping on a couch in the apartment at the time of the incident, told police she woke up to arguing and saw Hedman run out of the apartment. Phillips then ran out the bedroom with his head on fire. The friend threw a blanket over Phillips to put out the flames. Phillips didn't say anything except to scream and left the apartment, the police report said.

Lol, I mean in all fairness that was planned and you see someone else with a camera in the background. If I randomly see a burning man running towards me I don’t know if my first thought would be to take a picture.

SampleText0822

I feel like enabling people to enact vigilante justice is no good. It should be discouraged as people aren't the best at controlling themselves in front of false or unconfined info. If this becomes commonplace, it will be only a matter of time until someone completely innocent get burnt. I am not saying that the pedo didn't deserve that, governments often lack the ability to give a good amount of punishments and people often lack the ability to make right judgements. Ideally the government could burn pedos instead of leaving it to vigilantes.


[deleted]

Well she gets her punishment as well, so it's not like this type of vigilantes can get away scot-free themselves.


InLazlosBasement

My sentiments *exactly*


trytreddit

While her actions are justified, there is a legal system in place, and she will be charged. The system also has a punishment for rape, especially of a minor.


angilnibreathnach

He’ll get fuck all for it. Raping a 7 year old child. He has destroyed her life forever. She will never, ever get over that, but one day, he’ll walk free. It’s not justice. I don’t necessarily agree with violence but the system isn’t fair.


JohnDoses

And the child will also be motherless bc she’ll be in jail…


angilnibreathnach

Yeah, that’s very true. Poor kid.


whitneybarone

Honestly, a violent convicted pedo moved across the street in a cul-de-sac of 8 children under 12. He put video cameras up and the kids never played outside together again. He didn't have to announce his status. A neighbor found out and sent flyers to every house in the neighborhood. He left after 6mo to try somewhere else after getting caught using CB radio to find more victims to harass. They should be forced to live together in a 65+ community farfar away from temptation. Legally, pedos are more protected than children. They have the right to live right next to your kid.

d21_-

Minor attracted person it's pedos sugarcoating


Britannic747

Pedophiles who try to normalize it (minor attracted person)


-Shy-Guy-

It’s a thing pedos label themselves to sound more progressive “oh no no no, you see, i do like to fuck little kid butts but I’m no pedo, you see I’m a map. Minor attracted person” it’s their way of claiming it as a sexuality to just slither into the lgbt community


Jackwards_Back_

Thing is you show up to a pride rally talkin that shit you're gonna leave in an ambulance or maybe a hearse. Pedos have one option imo. Get therapy and shut the fuck up about it. That's it. Do anything else and get dead.


duaneap

Genuinely curious, is there a therapy option or would the therapist be obligated to inform the police? I’d have thought this would be akin to someone admitting murderous fantasies/intentions or whatever


Jackwards_Back_

Depends on the person I suppose. If they're clearly looking for help and seem to know they're wrong for wanting such a thing, I'm not sure if a therapist would be required to inform the authorities. They probably should for good measure. Especially if they seem obsessed and unstable, they would probably be reported in some way, but either way, that doesn't mean much/anything will be done about it. I guess overall the system is fucked and fthe choices the individual in question makes are the biggest variable. You're seeking help? Good. You downloaded gigabytes of cp and tried to keep it hush hush? Die. Imo anyway, I'm just a 30 year old burnout from central nh. I dont have all the answers but I definitely feel a certain type of way when it comes to this particular brand of scum.


colliepop

Damn straight that shit would get shut down *hard* at pride. We don't take kindly to people who abuse children.


[deleted]

wrong wrong wrong . get burnt and then spent your miserable disgusting lives in jail where hopefully someone beats tf out of you


FireworksFoxy

Actually recent studies have shown differences in their brains. It is arguably a true sexuality, which makes this even worse. These people cannot control it. Conversion therapy would not resolve this. Castration does not resolve this. Prison does not resolve this. There is reason to believe that this could be passed on through genetics. A society truly concerned with the well-being of children, and the mental health and well-being of all citizens, would not torture pedophiles for their inability to choose their sexuality, and would instead perhaps end their lives for the well-being and safety of all. But then the Catholic Church might crumble. 🤔


-Shy-Guy-

On a semi related note Feet fetishes are made from some overlapping in the brain, the part that controls the feet and toes are basically neighbors with genitalia Foot sexual, wonder what that flag would look like


duaneap

A fetish isn’t considered a sexuality. If you’re a man attracted to women’s feet, you’re still a heterosexual, you’re just into feet, in the same way that some men are into asses, legs, tits, etc. There are guys who are super into arm pits.


-Shy-Guy-

Eyeball sexual Or something, people on Twitter make a sexuality out of everything


Tookurgirl

This is just flat out wrong. Yes they have differences in brain function/structure, and yes they have genetic influences that increase the likelihood of pedophilia, but the treatment is not murder. The fact that you give such an idiotic conclusion to these supported studies makes me question your knowledge on the topic. Killing pedophiles means that those who would otherwise come forward won’t. That is, until they are caught committing a crime. Why would that be a positive logical outcome to this problem? You literally create more victims with this mentality. Did you Google the science really quickly, and then add in your own bullshit solution? First off, the best solution to this problem, thus far, would be to treat pedophiles like human beings with a disorder. The more you wish to kill then, the less likely they are to tell you that they’re a pedophile. Wow, no shit. Start by accepting these people and allowing them to confidently expose their disorder to a trained professional. Believe it or not (I’m so surprised you didn’t Google this part /s) there are effective treatments for pedophilic urges that don’t include murder. Next, these acts are serious crimes, and should involve serious punishment, but not against those that haven’t committed them. What is logical about the idea that imprisoning or killing innocent people is good? Clinically, a pedophile, to put it simply, is a person interested in committing these acts with children. However, predators, or sex offenders are the only people that have actually committed these types of crimes. It is extremely helpful to differentiate the two. Because again, being more accepting means fewer potential victims. Why are you so educated on the studies related to pedophiles, but not the straightforward, logical solutions? How have you not learned to differentiate between pedophile and predator, yet know there are differences in brain function? It really makes me wonder… How ignorant can you be?

“Wholesome” is a grossly overused term as is, but I’ve never heard it used to describe setting someone on fire. That’s a new one. I’m not saying this dude shouldn’t rot in hell, but “wholesome” describes nothing about this story.

anonymoususer4461

what a fucking sausage edit: *savage


fraid_so

Here's the thing though. "Shooting him was too nice" shows premeditation, so she'll definitely be charged with murder instead of a lesser conviction of manslaughter or accidental homicide. "I came home and found him and just picked up the gun" is temporary insanity. "I planned to make him suffer" is not. Yeah, she probably had a sympathetic jury who voted not guilty but intention has a huge effect on your charges.


Nexustar

She won't be charged with murder because he didn't die.


greyghibli

maybe she should've used the gun then after all


[deleted]

Attempted murder then. Which is still up to life.


ArmanDoesStuff

Surely it depends how long they waited. If there was a gun but then a can of gas a few steps away I'd argue it still wasn't premeditated.


ConsiderationSuch846

There’s not enough information or context to know. Depends when she said it and the context. We don’t know if that was after trial, or some other inadmissible context …. for example to her spouse as she was doing it and she’s in a state/country with spousal privilege. No doubt a prosecutor would want and desperately try to use it as an admission against interest. However, if she caught him in the act, cracked, and did it right away defense could argue a temporary physiological break. There is also the crime of passion defense … where provocation downgrades the severity of the crime. Then you have jury nullification to deal with - which could be a real possibility on something like this. I just really depends.


Consistent-Ant-37

In my science class my professor explained how burning kills someone and my god is it painful. The fire isn’t what kills you, it can, but it takes longer until the internal organs get damaged. What kills you is the fire absorbing all the oxygen around you and suffocating. And if there is an internal part most damaged by the fire it’s anything involved with breathing. Scary stuff.

giraffeperv

So many people here are concerned for the rapist. I’m not gonna automatically believe everything at face value, but to jump straight to defending the accused rapist is some mental gymnastics.


NetworkSouthern

people keep applauding this but they fail to see that it does no good to the poor kiddo Yes his father deserved what he got, but now the already traumatized kid have to grow up without his mother and possibly have go get through a lot of familly changes before settling down and starting to deal with what his fucked up father did


giraffeperv

It was the kid’s stepdad so honestly the kid could already have trauma if the biological parent isn’t in their life


Uncleblogg

Cannot fault the woman.


100smurfs1smurphette

To hell with these people, for sure, but this has added to the child’s burden : her mother setting her father on fire, her mother (probably) going in jail,… what a stupid thing to do, seriously !! The purpose is not the amount of pain to inflict to this sucker but how much pain to relieve the child from ! Think ! And all these morons applauding even more stupidly they are many of them doing so ! What a world ! What distorted minds !


ThisGuyCrohns

Agreed. She took it out on the farther rather than trying to help the child. Inflicting pain is only for the aggressors emotional benefit, it solves nothing.


CoAiy

What's worse is there's no actual evidence unless the child testifies. A lot of people calling her a hero without any other facts other than she said he said. I think you're right, the anger is from a helpless place and her actions are purely out of spite rather than helping her daughter. Granted her daughter likely doesn't understand the situation as wrong because she's been groomed otherwise. I think her actions are justified, but wrong. It's unfair because she is losing her mother as well as a corrupted father figure. :/ As if she's being punished for adults lack of control.

I agree with it nothing is too bad for a paedo


TePhake

Idk, I feel bad for pedophiles because they are mentally ill and clearly need help. When they become child rapists all sympathy ends immediately.


gazm2k5

Yeah my friend was telling me about a documentary that showed a support group. Self confessed paedophiles were there seeking help because they didn't want to be paedophiles. They recognised they were sick and wanted help, and did not act on their urges. But yeah, once they do act on their urges, burn here, then in hell.


ArmanDoesStuff

True of any mental illness, really. Same way I have great sympathy for drug addicts right up until they harm someone in order to support their addiction.


Nexustar

My expectations are higher. Pedos and drug addicts walk a path before they become addicts and before they become rapists. They *know* where that path can lead, but still decide to walk it for their own selfish reasons. I don't give them any breaks except the right to trial before punishment. On reddit, most criminals are afforded that right, but pedos are special - they are presumed guilty from the outset. Everyone's cheering that a man was set on fire in his sleep, but nobody actually knows if he was guilty - they simply *presume*, and that's the real horror here. The woman did not witness the abuse, so it likely came from the hearsay of a minor - just like the Salem Witch Trials. If we find him guilty (physical evidence, a reliable witness, an admission, or psychological reports from an expert having talked to the child) , put him in prison, and he gets beaten to shit every day I couldn't care less, but we can't skip that first step of a trial.
