The police department said that the attack isn’t related to Vogler’s status as an elected official.

“Based on the investigation at the time of this release, the victim and the suspect are known to each other and the attack stems from a personal matter not related to the victim’s position on Danville City Council or any other political affiliation,” DPD said.

      Use a backpack sprayer with kerosene, gets the distance you require and kerosene is only flammable instead of explosive like gasoline. Bonus points if you want to use some kind of surfactant to increase the stickiness, though that will probably wreck the entire set up after a few uses

          It’s only a supervillain accessory when your target isn’t just doing a controlled burn during forest management or wildfire control. This set up plus a drip torch isn’t super uncommon, other than the surfactant. Plus I’m pretty sure anyone could outrun someone wearing it, but I also would have said that about chasing someone with a can of gas shrug-outta-hecks
