Woman doused friend in fuel, set him alight over misogynistic comment

Mr Loader said, "Go on, do it," before Walpole set him on fire.

Her legal representative, Peter Neil SC, said Walpole had been antagonised by Mr Loader consistently throughout the night, which "pushed her over the edge".

Crown prosecutor Max Pincott said Walpole had plenty of time to calm down.
\ "You could have walked away from this, couldn't you, but you didn't," he said.

lmao telling her to calm down. Prosecutor reflecting the misogyny of the victim.

also stupid of this article to say "comment" singular. Because the defense indicated it had been multiple incidents.

What the article doesn't say at all is what she did after setting him on fire.
