A 76-year-old woman who was doused with flammable liquid and set on fire during a robbery Sunday morning has been identified as Nancy Harris of Garland.
Police tell us she remains in critical condition at Parkland Memorial Hospital. She suffered burns over 40 percent of her body in the attack at a convenience store where she works near Broadway Boulevard and Colonel Drive.
Suspect Matthew Lee Johnson, 36, has been jailed on a criminal attempted capital murder charge. His bail was set at $500,000.
Harriss neighbors said they were shocked by the brutality of the attack on a selfless woman who kept a close eye on her neighborhood.
I cant understand why someone, some idiot, would do this to her, said Margaret Tatum, 70, who lives a few houses down from Harris in the neighborhood just a few blocks from the crime scene.
I know shes in a lot of pain, Tatum said. I can feel that pain here, she said as she pointed to her heart.
Ive been crying all morning, Tatum said. I couldnt sleep last night.
Another neighbor, Jim Bertucci, 62, said Harris always seemed to remember little details about everyone and what was going on in their lives.

Well: He does hold his head up like Obama.
Winnie Mandella used to put a tire around their heads fill it with gasoline and light it up.
Sounds like a good Idea for this guy.
Another of obama’s sons.
Racist me.
The constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment, but what the hell, we violate it all the time anyway, so let the skinning begin!

Not what.
Whom.
:-)
Yep she was attacked in this sadistic manner because she was white.
Actually, there have been quite a few examples of blacks murdering whites this way. Here is one example that is almost totally unknown to most, even those who research hate crimes:
Evelyn Wagner:
“At about 9:00 pm on October 2, Evelyn ran out of gas near her house while borrowing a car. She walked eleven blocks to a filling station carrying a small empty gas can.
On her return, six black teenagers confronted her. They forced her down an alley and behind a building. They beat her up and shouted racial slurs. The teenagers demanded she pour the gasoline on herself. She complied on threat of more violence. One teenager then flicked a match at Evelyn, and she burst into flames. The teenagers walked away in laughter.
Evelyn Wagler tried in vain to roll on the ground and put out the fire. She was receiving second and third degree burns all over her body. Charred and smoldering, with her hair burnt down to her scalp and face
Evelyn Wagler died four hours later. ....’

It’s across the street from South Garland HS. The guy was caught breaking into houses in the immediate neighborhood. I live about a mile and a half from there and someone broke into my house a few weeks ago. Maybe it was this guy. Whoever it was, he was brazen enough to come into the sleeping area and rifle through some drawers. Had he awoken me, he might not have been around to do this.
The rule of thumb is the age of the victim plus the percentage of the body burned equals the likelihood of mortality. It doesn’t look good.

An unprovoked stabbing in Target (black assailant, young, innocent white attorney)...Now this...Too much of this viciousness going on in and near Dallas. Why aren’t people using their weapons to protect young white women and elderly helpless grandmothers?
A terrorist doing evil for his new god. Trayvon “Skittles” Martin.
Pretty sad in today’s America a 76-year-old woman has to work at a Texas greedy mart.
I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.
Then gets set on fire in a robbery?
Gezzz.
76 year old woman with 40% burns? The odds are that she will die, then this instantly becomes capital murder.
For something this heinous, the best bet is for the police to make a deal with someone on the inside. A carton of cigarettes can buy some fine karmic payback.
What sort of low scum POS sets an elderly woman on fire?
Guess God really does have good reasons for sending some people to hell.
