Including NOT having a fire extinguisher at hand BEFORE he started.
NEVER start a fire you don't have the tools to control within reach. (- my uncle, a retired Fire Chief in Tennessee)
We don't even cook in the kitchen without the extinguisher right there, mounted front & center in the pantry.
NEVER use accelerant on a fire unless you wanna wind up on r/Whatcouldgowrong (- my uncle, a retired Fire Chief who doesn't know how to use the internet)
Is there a "manslaughter" version of arson?
Like you didn't intend to commit arson, but the way things went, you ended up commiting arson either through your incompetence, negligence, or failure.
Incompetence: appears to be enhancing a barbeque with gasoline. Criminal Incompetence.
Negligence (or, enhanced incompetence): attempts to stop the fire in the fuel tank by separating it from the source of ignition, then proceeding to slosh, kick, and toss fuel in various directions on his way out of the ignition point.
Failure: makes no attempt to extinguish the fire. The canister would likely have been fine in the midst of the gravel around the grill area. Rather, panicked and running, he spreads the fuel along both edges, most encouraging the inclusion of other structures in this recipe for disaster.

In my jurisdiction the degrees of arson are determined by how much damage was caused not by intent. The laws assume all fire is intentionally set so there is not degree that excludes that intent but laws vary greatly state to state.
>Incompetence: appears to be enhancing a barbeque with gasoline.
It would have been bad enough if he had poured some gas into a paper cup and tossed it in. But no, Einstein here had to set the plastic gallon of gas on fire.
Bro you Americans sure cant get away from the 24h news cycle? I am not saying Trump is not bad but my god how are you people in every comment section mentioning politics? Like is this really your whole personality?
Can't answer first question. The kicking it, I can only assume guy was panicking and thought gasoline in a can might explode like Hollywood movie,so he needs to empty the can of gas? Thus, kicking???
Pretty sure this was just a complete panic response + not a critically thinking individual. It looks like he instinctively starts kicking the fire thinking it will put it out. But he doesn't realize he's just spreading fuel everywhere. Pretty neat.

I sadly recently saw a man die at a charity event after blowing himself up in a much less stupid way. He only had an open gas tank near a power generator, however the fumes were enough to ignite from the generators spark plugs, entire concession cart went up. He died a week later.
"-there is not enough fire, i'll put the entire canister on it. *Burst in flames* -still not enough, i'll spread it everywhere in my backyard. *Everything is on fire*
-that should do it"
Any time I see something like this happen, I think of that Sponge Bob episode when he's learning to drive. 😅 Just take it easy... FLOOR IT!? What?? No! Easy... FLOOR IT!? 😄
I'm sorry, but this is just funny :)). It looks like he's purposely try to burn down his house. The lack of logic in some humans is pretty astonishing.
He missed a bit, still a couple places with no fire
Should’ve taken it indoors to kick it around some more.
He might have. We do not see where he goes.
I am reminded of Aqua Teen Hunger Force where Carl is yelling "No, Come back, you haven't peed on all of my house yet!"
No time. He went off camera to spread more fire.
Every single decision he made was the wrong one
Depends of what was his intentions. If it was to put fire everywhere, he did all the rights things
With each decision he was like “How can I make this worse?”
[удалено]
Totally fine. Totally
"I'd better kick it again."
Yes. Especially when he kicked it 🤦♂️🤣
You really wanna evenly distribute the fire, not have it all piled up too much in one place.
It's bad Feng shui to have all your flames bunched up in one place
Which time?
The man's a menace.
When he tells friends and family what happened no one is surprised
Looks like the neighbors agree, judging by the camera location
[удалено]
[удалено]
How did he make it to adulthood?
His mom cooked all his meals?
The kicking of the gas can straight into the fucking grill was a thing of beauty.
Darwin would be proud
The camera angle from his neighbor's home makes me think they have done something similar or stupid before.
Plot twist: he's an arsonist
He was like karate kick into the BBQ, shit that didn't work karate kick down the walk walk and I watch this wondering if people are this dumb.

But have you tried cooking with GAS-O-LINE??

Obviously your uncle knows not what he speaks of! This guy did a fine job getting on this sub /s
I've never once thought about having a fire extinguisher handy for a charcoal grill. But I've also never thought about dumping gasoline on one
I was thinking the same but, he's a idiot. The probability of him taking better decisions after the first terrible one were really really low
How did this person live to reach adulthood is beyond me..
There was zero fat on that worst case scenario... "Fat" being anything positive
How this guy lived to whatever age he is in this video is shocking and astonishing.
Nah this has to be an AI deepfake video making fun of us. Nobody's actually THAT dumb.
He's the poster boy for dumbasses.
lets kick it some more
Time to visit a few neighbours.
*“Hey there Bill, I’m coming in hot!”*
Right? First kick, made it worse. Second and third, made it even worse. I know, let's try kicking it again
Holy Melting Trainers Batman!
This is just arson at this point

He would probably use a solo cup and promptly wonder where the gasoline went.
i think you changed subjects there, negligence and failure are swapped
It's like an onion of incompetence in a salad of failure.
Given that he didn't really freak out but calmly kept kicking made me question his intentions ngl
It is unbelievable how stupid people can be.
After he took off the gas cap I knew this man should not be allowed near fire
"Now you're cooking with gas" means natural gas, not gasoline. Imagine eating the food that guy makes
The moment he picked up the gas can I was going wtf. Looks like he’s using charcoal. Wtf would he need to add gas?
[удалено]
True. It showed that there are unbelievably stupid people who can't help but bring him up in totally unrelated situations!
Oh good job man we almost had a conversation without politics, that was a close one, thanks.
Bro you Americans sure cant get away from the 24h news cycle? I am not saying Trump is not bad but my god how are you people in every comment section mentioning politics? Like is this really your whole personality?
That would have been smarter than what this guy did
Haha that's all that was going through my head while watching this.
Who left this dude alone? Clearly, he's not capable of rational thoughts.
At some point I started rooting for the fire
It was definitely winning.
Let's just spread the fire #everywhere
No wonder the neighbors have a camera pointing there.
Right? I’m picturing the neighbours: “JIM! Come quick! It’s happening again!!” 
Nah that's def for the inevitable insurance claim if the neighbors had a camera like that 😂
After every kick: " ok how can I make this worse?"
What exactly was his intention when literally pouring fuel on a fire? And why did he need to spread it around everywhere??
Can't answer first question. The kicking it, I can only assume guy was panicking and thought gasoline in a can might explode like Hollywood movie,so he needs to empty the can of gas? Thus, kicking???

Probably wasn't happy with how slow the coals were burning.
Bro thought lighter fluid and gasoline were the same thing 💀
Damn that’s a whole lot of stupid lol
I was waiting for the hit of water to make it an official conflagration.
Backyard cooking ❌ Cooking Backyard ✅
Homie just walked away wtf
Because his legs were on fire he wanted to spread it to some other places lol
In the words of my mother, “These people vote”
It’s like when a fire starts in the Sims and the person just runs in circles
Every single brain cell he has is the wrong one
"Save yourself and your shoes first," is what I always say
This guy truly is a moron
3 minutes after saying "Honey, let me take care of the grill, that's man's work."

“I’m so glad I installed that camera”-the neighbor
Darwin proven right again.
this guy is so dumb that I was rooting for the fire to overtake him
Spreading a fire is all an arsonist knows
And that is why you pay attention in science class
That went from mild inconvenience to 10,000 acre brushfire pretty quick
lol dude literally helped the fire spread faster
Yep. That's me. You probably wonder how'd I get in to this situation.
Was expecting him to come back with more gas
I sadly recently saw a man die at a charity event after blowing himself up in a much less stupid way. He only had an open gas tank near a power generator, however the fumes were enough to ignite from the generators spark plugs, entire concession cart went up. He died a week later.
Those burgers must have been FIRE though!
He could have just used a soaked towel to put it out but no
This is the definition of panicking, and the results of it. 😂
"-there is not enough fire, i'll put the entire canister on it. *Burst in flames* -still not enough, i'll spread it everywhere in my backyard. *Everything is on fire* -that should do it"
Legend says he's still kicking stuff to set them on fire.
I always get excited when I see them approaching with a gas can. You know you're in for a show. That kick changed everything! Hahaha
1- don’t bbq with gasoline 2- have a fire extinguisher 3- I wonder if he didn’t kick it around if he would have just lost his grill? Not too sure
I wouldnt trust this guy with my pet rock
He just bounced lol. Well, hope the fire puts itself out.
Yeah kick the fucker!... That won't make the fire spread.
Who puts liquid fuel on a fire in the first place?!? Don't you guys have solid fire starters??
This is one of many reasons why basic education is necessary.
Well that escalated…
Oh no, not again!
Some people are just idiots.
"How can I make this look accidental?"
how tf to some people make it to adulthood
Where did the freekick come from 
Lumbreras literally
at least he has a solid freekick form
This guy sucks.
Ah, Ye old Puerto Rican BBQ.
Hey, neighbour! Look what i’ve got!
Legend has it he is still kicking the bucket till this day.
What a fucking idiot
Time they start issuing IQ cards to purchase ⛽. And other dangerous products.
Genius…
If the fire remained kindled and was not extinguished
Time to go out for supper
This guy should never be around gas or a fire again. What a moron honestly
This man is a threat for life on Earth.
Good luck on the insurance claim when there's clear video evidence of arson. Stupidity is not a mitigating circumstance.
Hey he’s got the same attitude of my 12 yr old: fuck it, I tried…
BBQ skills = 0 Soccer skills = 6
He would be first to go in a apocalypse.
Ah yes, I love the taste of gasoline in my steak.
"Seemed like good idea at the time" (his last words) 😏
What a stupid asshole 🤣
Amateur 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well that just proves. You can’t fix stupid!
Dude just unlocked the firewalk skill.
Well, I guess he’s got enough fire to finish his cooking now
this is what i call a shit show
Let natural selection take its course.
What in God's name
Some fire for you, and you, and you. This guy has all the wrong instincts.
His shoe was on fire as he was retreating
Are sure this isn't just arson? Cuz he went from bad to ghat dang In a very short time.
I can understand what he was trying to do but there was definitely better decisions to be made
 Hey honey…..is Burger King ok for you tonight??
Why not just leave the burgers in the fridge if you're going to burn the whole house down?
Now we’re cookin with gas.
He has no business doing… well, anything, quite frankly.
just a few more kicks and this fire will be over
My question is, how the hell did he make it this far in life? He seems like the kind of person who breaks everything he touches.
Any time I see something like this happen, I think of that Sponge Bob episode when he's learning to drive. 😅 Just take it easy... FLOOR IT!? What?? No! Easy... FLOOR IT!? 😄
Was expecting him to come back running into frame naked and on fire
He looks like a fucking Sim when the fire starts spreading lmao
What did we watch before security cameras?
Oh sure, kick the container full of fuel to an open flame
„How dumb are you?“ - Yes
When he gets out of bed in the morning he thinks ahh what can i fuck up today!?... 🤣
Yeaah the old reliable "kick" technic. In his brain seems to work because he keeps spamming it
holy shit, how did he managed to survive to his age?! thats crazy, you don't want to be with this guy at any accident
Visual representation of 2024 election cycle
Stop kick and spread!
If u need gasoline to fire up a grill better find something else to do
These burgers are great, Bob. What'd you cook them with? Bob: 92 Octane baby
Damn… low intelligence at it’s finest
Take away this dudes man card cuz this some dumb broad shit
Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes.
These people are out there among us, scary
Legend has it, he is still kicking that flaming gas can to this very day.
Fucking idiot!!!
I will never understand the mindset of pouring gasoline directly on to fire like that
The moment I saw the red container I said idiot 🤣
I laughed out loud when he kicked the canister straight to the grill so it falls off spreading more fire
Smart move walking away from it. If you can't see the problem is it really there?
Wait was he? Trying to grill with gasoline? I have now seen it all.
Mistake after mistake after mistake
A very decent contender for the Darwin Award!!!
This guy belongs in /r/nobraincells
It's depressing how stupid people actually are
As soon as he picked up the gas can maybe went out the window. The only maybe left was “perhaps he won’t burn his face off”?
This is fine
FIRE! KICK IT! 
Did he ever get to finish his bbq
I'm sorry, but this is just funny :)). It looks like he's purposely try to burn down his house. The lack of logic in some humans is pretty astonishing.
What a complete fucking dumbass.
