Tale of Woe

Convicted sex offender sets van, himself ablaze

Goes out in a blaze of glory, consumed by his demons.

Shining a light on the darker side of the human condition, here’s a story that one  can’t help but wax philosophical about.

A convicted sex offender in Tulsa, Oklahoma burned to death when he locked himself in a cargo van, and set the van on fire.

Tulsa deputies and state parole officers showed up to serve a warrant at the house of Johnnie Joe Hobbs, 47.

After finding the house empty, the squad peered into a cargo van that sat in the cluttered yard about 3 p.m. Hobbs, who was in the van, reached out and slammed the door shut, Bowman said.

He then poured gasoline inside the van and ignited it.
