In a case of two Wrongs actually making a right, a Florida man ended up setting himself ablaze in a botched attempt to set his estranged wife on fire.  Mr. Wong ended up on the wrong side of the lighter.

Matthew Wong’s botched attempt to torch his spouse began when he ambushed Gloria Davis on Monday as she emerged from her apartment complex in suburban Tampa — and tried to douse her with gasoline.

“Help me! Help me!” Davis screamed and took off running, witnesses told police.

With Wong in hot pursuit, the 47-year-old woman ducked into a helfpful neighbor’s apartment who had ran downstairs to save the lady after hearing her desperate cries for help. Her husband was left outside fuming.

“I’m gonna kill you,” Wong screamed as he fished a lighter out. He was about to set the bushes on fire in front of the apartment in attempts to bun her out the house.  But everything went horribly wrong for 50-year-old Mr. Wong.

Apparently unaware that he’d sloshed some gas on his clothes, Wong went up like the torch burning atop the Statue of Liberty the second he clicked his BIC. “It was like instantly,” neighbor Amy Jo Akert told local media. “Literally, he was instantly engulfed in flames.”

Neighbors came to his Wong’s rescue by quickly dousing him with H20 from their waterhoses.  The flames were douses  as Wong thrashed in agony on the front lawn. He was rushed to Tampa General Hospital and being treated for severe burns over much of his body.

It was only after Wong was taken away that police found his green rental car and discovered in the trunk a 2 1/2 gallon jug of gasoline, bleach bottles filled with an accelerant of some kind, tape and a pair of gloves.

Wong “was waiting for her to actually come out for work and ambush her with a Clorox bottle full of gasoline,” said Larry McKinnon, a spokesman for the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office. “It appears he was either going to light her on fire here or he was going to try to abduct her.”

Wong and Davis have been married since 1985 and have two grown sons. It’s not clear why Wong went after his wife, who moved out of the family home in Wesley Chapel, Fla., two years ago. Wong was charged with domestic battery in 2000, but the case was dismissed.

Mr. Wong was so Wong for this..  Things life this should happen more often to crazy people who try to harm others.
