What about putting your hand on the stove, but only when the burner is on low? C'mon, it's on low, what do you have to lose?
Seriouly, though, you can put your hand into the oven when it's on low, and you're ok. That's air. Put your hand on the burner and heat transfer is much greater.
While vehilcles don't actually get hot enough to cook eggs, they get hot enough to burn you. And the longer you touch the worse you burn it.
And a half hour holding my hand on the burner... damn.
And you have to appreciate how these wannabe cops have learned the ways - 'he's on drugs, stay back, it's under control'.
Aside - what's also disturbing is that no-one helped this man. This man is probably not somebody any of us would want to share an elevator with, to say the least. But he was a human, and he was being slowly killed, quite obviously.
It's amazing how many people will bow to the pretense of authority, how they will believe the obvious lies (he's ok), or they will know better yet do nothing anyway.
I tell you this sort of ambivalence has let all sorts of evil happen in the past, and we're being shown crystal-clear pictures that the situation is right so they can still happen today. Crystal freaking clear.
