Steven Amenhauser doused with flammable liquid and set on fire by Zayvion Perry, and Adriel Riley.

Mr. Amenhauser has no family. He was predeceased by his wife. His girlfriend died in October. He had just returned from the store and moments later was on fire.

Man, that takes a special sort of sadism, and evil to do such a thing. Worse two of them?

Why? Not to mention another resident lives in another apartment there. The entire place could have caught fire.

Savages.

"...the 14-year-old had a long juvenile record."

Needs to be locked up forever. I'm sorry, but some people are just plain evil. At 14, already a long criminal record!
It's also been reported that the victim was mentally ill. Totally sadistic to do this. Protect society, protect the innocent people and put these savages away.

No need to be sorry at all, Joe. You nailed it.

How do you rehabilitate a kid that sets a man on fire? At 14 nonetheless.

They get out what's next?

IMHO LOCK the door and THROW AWAY the key! Viscous, savage, evil, unsettling, sinister, dark, and beyond words. So young and feral. Souls encased in a locked box. I don't know an acceptable term to call these two but children should never be used to describe them. Killing is never easy or pleasant but setting someone on fire is the absolute worst.
