A wild story making the rounds on Facebook has everyone talking — and shaking their heads. According to reports, a 17-year-old boy tried to torch a local salon… but the only thing that really went up in flames was himself.
The attempted arson backfired spectacularly when the teen allegedly mishandled the fire-starting process and ended up with burns from his own stunt.
But the real twist? His mother is now reportedly suing the salon for $2 million, claiming they are responsible for her son’s injuries — a move that’s sparked outrage and disbelief across social media.
🔥 Internet Reacts: “You Can’t Make This Stuff Up”
Reactions online range from disbelief to straight-up mockery. Many users can’t believe the nerve of filing a lawsuit after an attempted crime.
One commenter wrote:
“So he tries to destroy their business, gets burned doing it, and now they owe him money? What kind of logic is that?”
Another chimed in with:
“Play dumb games, win dumb prizes. The entitlement here is unbelievable.”
⚖️ Salon Speaks Out
While the salon itself hasn’t made a formal statement yet, supporters are rallying behind the business, calling the lawsuit “frivolous” and “a slap in the face to actual victims.”
Legal experts online are also weighing in, pointing out that even if someone is injured during a crime, it doesn’t mean the victim of that crime is liable.
💬 The Bottom Line
Whether or not the lawsuit holds up in court, one thing’s clear: this case has hit a nerve. It’s a story that feels too absurd to be real — and yet, here we are.
