George Rodriguez: Yes, Evil Exists
Today, at around 2:00 PM, George Marquez Rodriguez poured gasoline all over a woman and then set her on fire. The woman's three children were also in the house in southeast Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. At least one of those children saw her own mother being set on fire.
The woman (whose name has not been released) has third degree burns on almost half of her body. This means she most likely (most definitely?) will need skin grafts to heal and will suffer extensive scars. (See this PDF for more information.)
But, that's not all this monster (And yes, there are such things as monsters, despite all the namby-pamby bleeding hearts that like to argue otherwise.) did. He put clothes up against the door of the house and started another fire. Remember, there were three children in the house –a three year-old, a seven-year-old, and a ten-year-old. Rodriguez is the father (and I use the term loosely) of the children.
Rodriguez was arrested and he tried to escape from the police by kicking out the windows of a patrol car. Sounds like a real gentleman, doesn't he? Records show that back in March of last year, Rodriguez was convicted of escape from the Oklahoma County jail, where he now sits. (The photo to the left is from August of 2009) He was still on probation from that charge. He was booked into the Oklahoma County jail in June of 2003, but what he was charged with is not in the booking record.
It appears, according to records of Rodriguez' drunk driving arrests, that he used to live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Back in New Mexico, records show that Rodriguez was a drunk driver there, too. But, he also tried to pull his escape acts using violence –just like he did here in Oklahoma. Back in 2006 in New Mexico, Rodriguez was charged with aggravated assault on a police officer, aggravated fleeing a law enforcement officer, and –the reason he was arrested in the first place– aggravated DWI.
So, fast-forward to today to find Rodriguez is still the reprobate that he was back then. Rodriguez was arrested on two complaints of arson and one complaint of destroying police property. I'm no expert, but I see four counts of attempted murder. If not four, surely pouring gasoline on another human being and setting them on fire would qualify for at least one attempted murder charge. The severely-burned woman was taken to the Integris Baptist Medical Center.
