A woman died after she was set on fire aboard the New York City subway on an F train in Brooklyn, police say.
I've been trying to find out more about this because the story doesn't make any sense:
"he approached the sleeping woman, and then lit her on fire with what was believed to be a lighter. She added the victim's clothes became fully engulfed in a matter of seconds."

Buy a boiled wool peacoat. You can put out a small fire with it. Thrift stores usually have em for like $20

I've recently been enlightened to the benefits of merino wool. Wish it was more affordable.
No, I think they're legally required to be self-extinguishing.
Thankfully used clothes don't have to comply with the "woke" agenda, nor do hand-made clothes.

Sigh. I dunno man, point is, fuck this human-arson shitbag.
