New Mexico man set on fire after losing drinking bet

[WindHarvester]

LAS CRUCES, N.M.: A 47-year-old man's friends set his prosthetic leg on fire after he lost a drinking bet, causing him to suffer severe burns to his buttocks and lower back. Dona Ana County sheriff's deputies found the man naked on the side of U.S. Route 70 with his prosthetic leg in flames. Deputies learned that the man and his friends were drinking Monday and bet that whoever drank the least would be set on fire.

The man told investigators that at six beers, he drank the least, and agreed to let his friends set him on fire.

He said his friends ignited his prosthetic leg, and the flames spread to his body.

The sheriff's office said the man took his clothes off because of the pain and his friends decided to take him to the hospital. But they got nervous and instead dropped him off on the side of the highway.

The man was taken to a Texas burn treatment center.

I can't believe they would even use the word "friends" in this article, these sick people need taken off the street immediately.

I wouldn't doubt it, it doesn't seem to me like they make small wagers. That's a tough crowd in New Mexico and now I know not to make any bets if I go there.

He can only drink 6 beers?...he shouldn't be betting in bars

LMAO, this really is a sad story though.

Call me a stand up guy, but anytime I catch my friends on fire I always rush them to the emergency room, I never just dump them on the side of the road.

By the way Spartacus, if your not busy tonight I've got a case of beer, a gallon of gas and I'm feeling lucky.

You Just Don't Under Stand the Mentality of the people down here.

Nothing Amazes me any more.

They Kill Each other just to gain points on some list.

Being Jailed is a badge of Courage.

These People are Sub Human.

They Shoot some one because there girlfriend talks to them.

They Shoot some one because you look at them funny.

They Shoot some one because they think you may have seen what was going on.

They Shoot some on because your not one of them.

Mexico has intruded into the USA.

They Do it this way there and just don't under stand they can't do it here.

Sorry if this Offends any one but this is what I have to Live With every day.
