Wonder if she shouted “flame on” or “drop it like its hot” before striking the match.
A woman is in critical condition this
afternoon after lighting herself on fire at a West Nashville church for the second time in two months, Nashville police and fire officials said.
Members of Grace Evangelical Church, 3701 Park Avenue, found the woman on fire in the church parking lot around 1 p.m., Capt. Rich Foley said. Church members put her out with towels.
The woman had apparently poured gasoline from a milk jug on herself and set herself on fire, said Nashville Fire Department spokesman Tim Lankford.
The same woman lit herself on fire during a church service on Nov. 16, suffering burns on her chest. The woman is believed to be in her mid-30s and from Ethiopia; the church has a large Ethiopian population, Foley said.

The 11 year old just wanted to be accepted into his favorite gang.
As Joan Hicks watched television in her basement Friday morning, the two grandsons left in her care when her daughter
went to prison found a gun and decided to play a game they called “Gangster.”
The pop of the .25-caliber handgun sent Hicks racing upstairs at 9:10 a.m. where she found the 8-year-old boy bleeding from a gunshot wound to his side. His 11-year-old brother had shot him, police said.
The boys found the gun in Hicks’ car but family members said it was not hers. It belonged to the boys’ aunt, they said, and it was unclear why it was in the car or how the boys found it.
Officers arrested the older boy for felonious assault. He was held at the Juvenile Detention Center. Hicks faces a charge of failing to secure a deadly weapon, police said. Cops seized two other .45-caliber handguns from the home.
Hicks took custody of the boys after their mother, Kimmie Hicks, was sentenced to four years in prison last month for beating the boys with an ax handle in a grocery-store parking lot.

The only thing I’ve seen a peacock eat that I thought was weird was one stole a chocolate ice cream from my cousin at the zoo, never seen one suck blood. Have seen an albino one too, looks funny, all white.
A peacock that roamed into the parking lot of a Burger King in New York City was beaten by a man who insisted it was a vampire.
Animal control officials in Staten Island say the bird was beaten so fiercely that most of its tail feathers fell out and it had to be euthanized.
The seven-year-old male peacock wandered into the restaurant parking lot and perched on a car hood last week. Charmed employees had been feeding it bread when the man appeared.
A restaurant worker says the man grabbed the bird by the neck, hurled it to the ground and started stomping it. She says when he was asked what he was doing, he responded, “‘I’m killing a vampire!”‘
