Body camera shows as deputies were attempting to escort 82-year-old Anthony Goulding’s wife out of the home, Goulding began pouring gasoline on the carpet outside of a back bedroom.

Goulding’s right arm catches fire and then he throws a gas canister at the deputy. The flames grow larger.

Goulding passed away in the house fire, along with a dog.

My point was that not ALL cops or ALL landlords are bad people. Yes, there are many. And yes- this needs to be addressed, but specifically, OP said ALL cops and ALL landlords are bastards

This is a blanket statement. The goalposts were moved to indicate they meant “people” but they specificity addressed the two careers in their statement.

Apologies for jumping the gun on ya. That’s on me.

No worries! I'm just proud we turned it around. The goalposts were indeed moved on a technicality here. There are certainly a ton of people around here that refuse any nuance on these two groups, I totally got your point and think it's a fair one, I also don't like blanket statements.

Thanks for going easy on me. And I appreciate your input here. Thanks a lot. You’re a rare breed here.
