ezs note:  According to reports, Richard Thomas allegedly set Luke Sasha Fleishman ON FIRE.  That is beyond sickening, and if it fails to make you call or e-write your local DA, I am at a loss to what will.  Call or e-write TODAY.

Also, if you wish to donate  to Fleishman's family to defray medical expenses, go to fundly.com.   Thanks.
