    I hear you.. I think that the camera moves as if it is on a tripod.. There could be a nutter filming from his window on a tripod. or it is a security camera.. and if its a security camera that freaks me out more then a nutter filming it..

    That means there are people monitoring your streets with those camera’s placed on every street.

    It would have …
    It would have looked really cool if he didn’t fling the gasolene, butane and petrol mix three times before lighting it.

    Kind of, like s.w.a said; casting an attack spell. When he slammed his hands together, a torrent of flames splashed out.

    But then he caught fire, pushed a bike down the road and failed to do anything but make a scene.

    Basically, dickhole with lighter fluids.
