Man Sets Himself On Fire On National Mall, Near White House
Yesterday it was a shooting at a runaway mom driver that shut down the Capitol area for hours. Today, while there have been no shootings in D.C., moments ago we just got news of a self-immolation in the middle of the National Mall, where a man allegedly doused himself in gasoline and set himself on fire, suffering life-threatening injuries according to the DC Fire Department.
NBC Washington reports that "Passersby on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., ripped off their shirts to help extinguish the flames after a man apparently tried to set himself on fire Friday, witnesses and authorities said. The man was conscious and breathing when he was flown by helicopter to Washington Medical Center, D.C. police said. There was no immediate report on his condition. The incident, which was reported at 4:24 p.m. ET, occurred on Seventh Street Southwest near the National Air and Space Museum, U.S. Park Police said. Witnesses told several media organizations, including NBC Washington, that they saw the man pour gasoline on himself from a red canister and then set himself ablaze. Police said they couldn't confirm those reports. Nearby joggers stopped and ripped off their shirts to smother the flames, NBC Washington reported."
The burned man was promptly carried off the Mall using a helicopter.
A fire official says a man has been flown to the hospital after setting himself on fire on the National Mall.
Fire crews responded Friday afternoon to a report of a man on fire at 7th and Madison streets. A witness says she saw a man dump a red canister of gasoline on his head and then set himself on fire.
D.C. Fire Department spokesman Tim Wilson says the man has life-threatening injuries.
His name and age weren't immediately known.

He's tired of the FIRE economy ?
He's become one with it.
Too bad he wasn't one of the BRICs.
Should have shot Jamie Dimon and Lloyd Blankfein first... and THEN set himself on fire.
I have to say this is a first. Of course, I have read all about people setting themselves on fire, but that this is now the form protest is taking confirms what many here (everyone?) has been saying for some time.
The chem trails spayed in our skies are starting to affect us.
cops didn't shoot him to stop him from hurting himself?
Hell, a spark might hve jumped on the precious cops. Better safe than sorry.
What are the chances of him being American?
Welcome to the new normal.
CNN is covering Obamas walk (in depth) literally right now, no joke.

***LAMESTREAM CORPORATE-BANK-MIC OWNED MEDIA BREAKING NEWS REPORT***
"A man set doused himself in gasoline on the National Mall today, and reporters who happened to be on scene at the time heard the man exclaim '[T]his is the direct fault of all of those congressmen & congresswomen who refuse to keep giving the Executive Branch a blank check by raising the debt ceiling, denying the United States to borrow more deficit-derived monies!'," before igniting himself on fire."
***THIS HAS BEEN A LAMESTREAM CORPORATE-BANK-MIC OWNED MEDIA BREAKING NEWS REPORT***
Bury him at sea.
Resistance is not futile!!!!!!!!!
This week in Kalifornia, Gov. Jerry Brown actually singed into law a piece of legislation written by the opposing side.
The law phrohibits any state agency from help the Feds to illegally detain anyone under NDAA indefinite detention rules.
Read how this happened here
DaddyO
A man sets himself on fire AND Obama goes out for a walk!? These are the end times.
OBAMA: YOU did not start that fire - America did!
If he makes it through the night, he can sign up for Obamacare to pay his hospital bill. Can't be denied for a pre-existing condition. Of course the thirty thousand dollar helicopter ride and first night in the ICU won't be covered.
"OBAMA: YOU did not start that fire - America did!"
America: We didn't start the fire ... it's been always burning since the earth was turnin!
Singed? That's not funny, that's sick.
The last time there were these kinds of ultimate human-sacrifice protests...
by people feeling utterly helpless against the actions of their powerful gov't...
was against Johnson & McNamara and the Vietnam War.
Johnson & McNamara both eventually realized they were wrong...
Will Obama?
I doubt it.
The whack jobs are starting to come out of the woodwork. Next will be zombies.
zombies are everywhere, and have been for awhile... just go to a mall or a walmart and look around.
look around my neighborhood. They are everywhere.
God damn it folks!
IN the White House , as close as possible to the corrupt puppet in chief.
Oh, the humanity! If only those mean-spirited Tea Party fanatics had not blocked our wise leadership's efforts to make gasoline less affordable and healthcare more affordable ....
/sarc
No police officers were hurt in the making of this film.
Maybe they saw him w the gas can and tasered him to stop him
Wouldn't be the first time...

.
Seriously, I was expecting to read that the man died from gunshot wounds administered by capitol police.
Also, WTF is with NBC? The man didn't try to set himself on fire, he quite clearly succeeded in doing so.
Burns are very painful wounds, and one can only imagine the pain he was enduring in his daily life which prompted him to take this action.
I pray that he recovers or, if his wounds are fatal, that he goes quickly. The worst thing that could happen would be for him to linger for a few days with excruciating and ultimately fatal injuries.
CNN is the same, "he may have set himself on fire". http://www.cnn.com/
Surprising they didn't follow that gem up with Michael Mann speculating global warming may have caused spontaneous combustion to consume the poor soul....and no that isn't sarc.
It's Bush's fault....or a Tunisia H-1 IT worker
follow that gem up with Michael Mann speculating global warming may have caused spontaneous combustion
Yes, just what everyone wants to know - does the creator of Miami Vice think global warming and spontaneous combustion are connected? Tune in next episode to find out!
Actually, it appears to be a rotten liver and a batch of keytones. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142412788732443240457905310125131888... They should get off their butt and build that keytone pipeline before we are all toast.
Allegedly
Let's assume the fucker was just crazy. Lemme see, he sets himself on fire in front of the reflecting pool. So,he just wanted to send a message to his AQ buddies, but it's OK now 'cos he died from self-inflicted injuries.
NO! You're going to see more and more of this. Some of us would rather die a fiery death than live under the thumb of Imperial Amerikka.
As for AQ, the cure is much worse than the disease. Behave accordingly.
AQ?
CIA
Yeah, I'm sorry for using corollorary. Just in case someone is still confused- AQ= Al-Qaeda=CIA covert ops. Thank you Terminus C for clarifying.
Fourth, this reminded me of that famous photo about fifty years ago of the monk Thich Quang Duc protesting persecution of Buddhists in Saigon. Even today the momory is haunting. I have a nurse friend who told me nurses often burn out ( pardon the pun) working on burn wards. Hearing people scream in agony and die most horrible deaths ( mostly from ghastly infections) wears the soul down. I can't imagine the courage and mental fortitude it takes to do this. Just burning my finger occasionally on the stove is excruciating. I pray he is at least unconscious for his remaining days if his burns are fatal.
Miffed;-)
I am not sure people need to be saved. The most compassionate thing we might do is put the out of their misery with a big shot of heroin. But thats murder!!!!! My moms dog (my gift) died last May, About 10 minutes after the fact his spirit stopped by to say goodbye (not making this up) It was a happy farewell. I laugh thinking about those who have sold their soul.
You aren't making this up. I had the exact same thing happen to me several times. After I put my beloved shepard down I woke up in the middle of the night. She was staring right at me like she always did when I napped. I jumped in fright and she was gone. I felt her tail hit me once when I was walking. Animals do revisit us. But you must be still and receptive to feel it.
Miffed;-)
RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE!!!
Admittedly I can be a sadistic, sometimes twisted individual with a warped sense of humor, but I find nothing to joke about in the actions this man took. 4th Stoogeing, your summary was very much to the point. This man must have felt an incredible sense of hopelessness, despair, and pain to have set himself on fire like that. May he pass from this life quickly, and may God have mercy on his soul.
TheFourthStooge"I pray that he recovers or, if his wounds are fatal, that he goes quickly. The worst thing that could happen would be for him to linger for a few days with excruciating and ultimately fatal injuries."
I will tell you what. If I decide to immolate myself in flames please do not play hero (ASSHOLE) and extinguish the flames. I do not want to linger for days with excruciating and ultimately fatal injuries. I may just be facing that for Eternity anyway but adding a few days to my torment is just not that cool. It is really being a jerk if you ask me.
For future reference...just understand that and be aware of that. It is OBVIOUS that I have NO INTENTION of surviving such a fate in a Burned Scarred Body.
Be kind and let me go. Thanks for your consideration.
We cannot afford the bullets.

at least we dont need to go to australia to see burning man
American Autumn, Bitchez.
Not "Fall".
Fall works to....as in the Fall of America
No.
Fall of the regime.
Regime change will not matter. This country has alway been of the people. The people have always been irrevocably corrupt throughout time. America WILL fall and fail.....just as EVERY human society, culture and construct.
Corruption + Entropy = Failure.....every....single....time.
Burning Man is a week-long annual event held in the Black Rock Desert in northern Nevada, in the United States.
But who knows, maybe DC is the next venue...might work out since they already have a lot of unused props and parkland...it might be perfect. Lots of wide open parks.
Maybe they can burn a gigantic replica of a federal reserve note on the closing event.

Spayed, huh.. Boy I am the dumb one I payed for the wifes.. Quick question, how do the elites avoid the spaying? Gas masks, secret innoculations, lizard blood?? That dog looks like it got sprayed with Nair...
Right, SPRAYED, not spayed. Sprayed like the roaches they think we are.
The true elite - the .01% - spend virtually all their time in climate controlled environments. Why don't you look up chemtrails online? Amazing that people aren't up in arms about it.
How the hell do you know that are you their gardener??
Sorry, my mistake. They're just common folk.
Calmyourself, repeat after you, "remember never to wrestle with pigs"
good to hear that the chem trails can no longer reproduce...
For my industrial brothers and sisters.

Remember this guy? Thomas Ball? No? Odd. I wonder why.
You set yourself on fire, thinking TPTB will take notice you are honestly so dumb you should not reproduce.

I have to laugh at those who do this - thinking it will mean or lead to anything other than a messy cleanup.
If he got burnt enough he could be Obama's son.
I have to laugh at those who do this - thinking it will mean or lead to anything other than a messy cleanup.
That's because you're an ignorant moron, self-immolation actually has a centuries long history.
Arab spring was set off by a self-immolation. Every news organization in the western world will cover this man's protest.
What secret knowledge source do you have at this time informing you this is a protest? It may be another nutjob (Miriam Carey) just like yesterday, stop lecturing with conjecture as your guide..
What font of wisdom and knowldege qualifies you to brand Miriam Carey as a nutjob? What do any of us actually know about all of this?
I can read and I wait for verified facts or at least multiple coverage to compare you idiot.. Anti-psychotics in her apartment, the bamster electronically corresponding with her, multiple coverages of mental issues. This guy immolated himself two hours ago .. Morons on a friday night. Reinstate the captcha..
Unless you saw it in person, you are regurgitating what you have been merely told. It's informed fools like you who make up the parade of a society being led to its death.
stop lecturing with conjecture as your guide..
Reuters journalist said it was apparently a protest. Regardless of whether it was, rafterman was referring to self-immolation as protest being a joke, which is what I was responding to.
The entire western world is circling the drain, and individuals feel virtually powerless. I'm surprised this isn't a daily occurrence. I suspect that when the full impact of Obamacare kicks in - people who have always worked hard and lived by the rules suddenly find they can't make ends meet because of the dictates of petty tyrants - we will see more of this kind of thing.
Fuck you, calm you. This is fight club. Miriam Carey was single mom with a pretty lucrative salary, who fucked-up in the exact wrong place. Do you think your calm self immune from such an incident? Those of us who know better also know that you, yourself, Calmyourself are absolutely clueless of what it's like to have several MKULTRA'd "officers" pointing guns at your head. SHE HAD HER CHILD IN THE CAR!
Some decried the child riding shotgun, but there's NO BACKSEAT in a g35. Mom made a poor choice of vehicle, agreed. I really don't think that's worthy of the death penalty.
So, unless and until you have better information yourself, you can always and forever fuck off.
To the rest of you- I already told you I was an asshole, didn't I?
Eat a dick, fuckhead. 73K in salary and she had a 250K condo driving an Infiniti, she was debt stretched and had issues her own family states it clearly. She was real lucrative as in just fired from her job.. Where the hell do these ignorant conspiracy chemtrail snorting fucktards come from on a Friday night.. Mkultra'd officers my ass, watch the video you numbskull, authoritarian pricks yes, Mkultra'd, ah sure if it makes your tiny brain feel in control you betcha..
Eat a dick huh? Yeah, I can frickasee your ignorant ass anytime I want. But, I'd prolly toss your dick aside. Too small. Not worth fuckin' with.
Ummm, she drove from Connecticut, with her child in the car, to...DC...and went to...the WH...first.
Possibly to talk to O'Barry about her home mortgage?...or the gas in the tank of her car or "health insurance" or black unemployment (can we still say black without being labeled razzzist?) or "the predicted" sea level rise "He" can stop like King Cnute Obama...lol...or the myriad of other things that "The One" has proselytized about personally solving through "His" mere presence on the earth?
Perfectly normal behavior for her, I would say.
Fight Club, bitchez ;-)
I once drove overnight to DC in the 1970's, but the first place I went was to catch a few ZZZ's parked next to the mall and then walked about to to a couple monuments. Even though these were the Carter years and I didn't have a job and gas cost something like $1 or so a gallon (which is about $4 in today's dollars), I never thought to start a fire ... I just took photographs. My how things have changed.
dear nmewn, I have tried, hard as I might to imagine a scenario where an obamaton might imagine themselves able to "intrude" on the imperial black dude. If your synopsis is correct, and it may well be- what is the prognosis? Do blacks become all-powerful?
No. The ultimate irony is that the blacks and the bankers will be placed, at the end of the day, where they belong.
I was born in Alabama. My Grandpa had sharecroppers on his farm. I grew up with them.
Now, I have known Blacks and Jews who were good people. But, if you think you can take either, as a group, in good faith, you'd be wrong.
Jus' sayin'.
Rafter is right, it does have a long history but so what?
Now, if he set himself on fire in the right place, well, that might have a different connotation to what you're saying ;-)
Arab Spring was set off by the state tightening the screws on a simple fruit vendor (a permit) to the point he blew a gasket. They took away his independence, his small means of supporting himself, he was an educated man if I remember right, that drove him to light himself up, the state.
He was despondent in my opnion.
A revolutionary kills his oppressors, not himself.
nmewn,
Not all revolutionaries are down for taking the life of others, even if aggressed against.
I have no such reservation. That said, I can see an act such as this at least momentarily shaking awake a few from slumber...if, and it's a big if, there was some point to this act.
As one with first hand knowledge, it seems that even though there wasn't much point in what your step father did, it appears that these things do have an impact nonetheless.
+1
I don't want any misunderstanding, I completely understand the concept of a political/societal grievance taking this form of "desperation", if we want to call it that (and we still don't know why he did it...could have been just like my drunk step father, an argument...lol) we don't know yet.
But I want all to consider first & foremost, I am not a pacifist, never have been, never will be, that way would not be MY way. If I ever thought of killing myself (and I never have) I can only imagine it in an act of war with no planning or thought of it before the moment.
I'm not suicidal, that concept of civil disobedience is alien to me, the no hope aspect of it, so I'll just end it. Its just odd to me, to kill yourself before your enemies.
Its not a part of my culture, my being, my religion or what I am.
Nmewn, I don't think this is pacifism. This is a form of civil disobedience and protest (assuming he is not mentally ill). I am not suicidal and would never consider this as well. However I recognize the historical uses of this and I don't dismiss the courage as pointless or foolhardy.
Miffed;-)
I'm not dismissing courage, I'm dismissing futility and pacifism.
Many people a day leave suicide notes we will never read, explaining how they have been wronged and as a last act of defiance (in their own minds) they take their own life? I'll lay odds he was a nutter waiting on a chance at media immortality...if only, for just one day ;-)
Yet no note and the best media he could find were tourist iPhones?
If what you say come to pass as correct, it would make it even more sad and pathetic.
As much as I dislike state cameras everywhere, I would rather have a plethora of PRIVATE CAMERAS to sift through, from every angle, than a state media just saying this is what happened, like it used to be.
Its what made it so easy for them (in years past) to say, this is what is happening/happened.
Not so...as we know now, but be careful of editing for effect, as always ;-)
I agree with every inch of what you said at its much closer to how I respond, when push comes to shove.
(The following isn't directed at you, by any means)
I'm really bothered by all this, though. This and that shit show yesterday.
I have a real dark sense of humor...and I just can't find one goddamn thing about any of this that even resembles funny or cute. We aren't watching a movie. People are getting fucked over, shot up and losing all hope.
It's not a fucking joke. I want to know what happened with that lady yesterday. I want to know what pushed this man to light himself up.
And people keep firing off with the "crazy" the "kook" and "mentally ill" slams. Was she on meds? Who fucking cares? And moreover...WHY are we told only that, yet know fuck all about anything else in that incident?
Don't you all out there NOT know that's the same smear Control is going to use on you? ZeroCare has it in the play book. They are going to gaslight the fuck out of anyone who doesn't toe the line.
So fucking stop it with that shit.
Indypat,
After reading so many flippant comments with one person trying to one up everyone else I've really had enough myself. I once drew blood from man dying from burn wounds. The was 20 years ago and I can still here his screams and moans in my mind. I have participated in many trauma involving gunshots and car crashes. Did you know you are given no pain meds initially when you come in to the ER? It can mask injuries so you are in agony for quite a while. People who watch this as a movie experience it as entertainment. They lose the humanistic side of it. I probably would too if I hadn't had my experiences. I'm tired too. This has become a circus. We even have the up and down arrow like Caesar in the colosseum. It getting me despondent as well.
Miffed;-)
Its not funny or cute but you have to realize there really are some really fucked up people in this world.
Commoners and elites alike.
A good rule of thumb for me is, I don't let my emotions toward them influence my understanding OF them. The commoner crazy needs to be held close, the elite crazy needs to be tossed away as far as we can.
Its not that complicated.
I agree on the fucked up ones. We medical people deal with plenty of them. Certainly a plethora out there. Let me make myself clear. My emotions have no ultimate influence on my actions or resolve. But I am not completely dispassionate, especially when I don't have all the facts.
If we find this is a garden variety nut job that simply wasted his and our time than screw him. I will eat crow. However, if he is an inkling of a disturbance in the force and his aim was a protest to shake a few people awake, I will give him the honor he is due. History is rife with examples of small events that influence large movements.
Our society is stressed, I see it all the time even in day to day interactions with people I don't know. More and more will eventually lose it. I won't be one of them because I have focused my energies to face it and not be bowled over by it. Please don't misjudge me.
Miffed;-)
Double
Nmewn, I must disagree here. Yes, for all intensive purposes this man probably had zero effect on changing the minds of sheeple or the fascists that hold us by the throat. However, this method of suicide is extremely courageous and powerful.
Remember Saigon and the self immolation of Thich Quang Duc and Kennedy's response? It captivated the world. Remember the Salt March of India where hundreds of non violent people were beaten and killed protesting a tax? Do not belittle and dismiss this. I myself lean towards the " taking out of an asshole" approach if I'm going down. This is my nature and my courage. But I'm humble enough to respect another's different path. If this man has not fully burned of his nerve endings, he will die an EXCRUCIATING death you and I can never imagine. I hope it won't be for nothing however unlikely that is.
Miffed;-)
I can tell you no one here in my house (besides me) knows this guy killed hiimself...maybe in a week or two...maybe.
Mrs.N is rockin out right beside me (Zepplin now), playing her game (no, I won't say what game or her name on it, but she keeps her gender) the kids are playing chess (surprise...lol) and dickin around on their i-phones waiting to play chess, with their friends over in the library.
They have no idea...and I'm telling any of them of it until I know why he did.
This is as it should be. Mr M is curled up beside me and disagreeing with my posts that I have made. Instead of down voting me he verbally debates me trying to whip me into a wrath. He loves to poke hornet nests and see if he can escape a stinging. So I often wage war on two fronts. At least he doesn't post. Prolly fears it may affect his sex life. ;-)
My daughter learned to play chess at Boys and Girls club. She often won and because it was quite a rough group she got into many fist fights because of it. I picked her up once and she had a bruise on her face and her shirt was ripped. " What the hell happened to you!" I exclaimed. " Oh, just had a few games of chess. Don't worry mom I can handle them." The apple didn't fall to far from the tree! :-)
Miffed;-)
That's because you're an ignorant moron, self-immolation actually has a centuries long history.
Arab spring was set off by a self-immolation. Every news organization in the western world will cover this man's protest.
LOL Sure they will! You are one simple SOB if you think the liberal, progressive media, who have been carrying Obamy's water, will make a big enduring story out of this! Down arrow away! But come on back in 30 days and see if anyone in the MSM mentions his name, or if ANYTHING has changed in this rogue government!
Hey, you know what also has a centuries long history? Buggering young children, burning witches alive, worshipping the moon... I guess if something was done for 'hundreds of years' that means it must be correct, and effective, right?
You're an irredeemable imbecile if you believe, honestly, what you wrote.
Hey, Tom Ball burned himself alive. We still talkin' about him? How 'bout 'the Western world'? Did his fiery death advance 'men's rights?' Did it? You're such a disaster it's actually funny!
And the Arab spring - funded and orchestrated by the CIA... and fer sure the culture of the Middle East is a direct analog to our Western culture, right, pal? Right? You're saying it is...
Nmewn is a 911 truth denier, too.
Nice non sequitur! ;-)
Miffed;-)
Continually pointing out your Obsessive Compulsive Disorder on a public forum does more damage to you and your cause than you could ever accuse anyone else of doing.
Its hard for me to figure out just why you do this to yourself and your cause but it does provide confirmation to others (the undecided as well as the not so much) who are looking on, of some of the "characters" within the truther movement who are, in fact, raving lunatics.
Again, well done.
So, are you with the CIA or what? ;-)
Nmewn, because you are not afflicted with OCD you cannot appreciate the delemma he faces. Literally, this is akin to turning a lock 12 times before entering a door, or only walking on one side of a staircase. If he doesn't respond to you in this fashion he may be unable to piss and rupture his bladder. You certainly need to work on your compassion for others ;-)
Miffed;-)
well maybe next time they could spay him along with the chem trails. and up in the sky so that if you want to watch...
Was he driving a Tesla?
Pass the marshmallows.
Were bath salts on sale this week or something ?
Sssshhhh, that's tomorrow's DC story. It will probably also involve a chainsaw, and a card-carrying tea party member. Don't be a spoiler!
I just saw an embargoed copy of tomorrow's story, and they are saying that Boehner supplied the lighter.
Ben was driving the helicopter.
Like he does
EVERY
SINGLE
DAY
in DC.
Stay away from the brown acid.
Clearly this was Samual L Jackson... be F'uckin Presidential.
And so it begins....conjugate BitChez!
This is horrible. I've seen it in person many years ago and it's ugly.
Yes, it is. Anything but fire.
Seen my step dad light himself on fire when I was 13-14, he was drunk, in an argument with my mom, thought he would scare her by striking a match after pouring gas down his shirt, it was all over his arms & hands as well. He went up like a scarecrow and he just started walking around, with his arms stretched straight out to his sides, moaning as he burned and walked around...pretty freaky.
The cops were already on the way and he did it right before they got there. The rookie cop jumps out screaming to "Get him away from my car!"...fucking classic...lol.
Mom had told me to run get a blanket and we threw him down & snuffed him out, while the cop watched, fumbling around to get a fire extinguisher out of his trunk.
And then...the smell...the smell of burnt human flesh, it cannot be described, you know it if you've ever smell it before.
That's horrifying. No kid should have to see something like that. At least you learned at an early age that you'll be far more useful than most cops in a tense situation.
Fienstien will outlaw gasoline
LOL!
and cars.
Ya know, the odd thing about it is...I thought about that while it was happening.
I'm like WTF!...am I supposed to be seeing this kind of crap?...lol.
Well, yeah, I guess I was.
No lasting emotional trauma, it was just kind of something that happened in life. No counselors, no nothing, it wasn't really needed, we just did what we had to do to put him out.
Mom had to go to the hospital and she told me about scraping his dead skin off, the screaming that went with that...and again the smell of it.
Its pretty gruesome...I don't advise it to make ANY statement...political or otherwise ;-)
I know that smell. At one hospital where I worked a woman on the cancer floor decided to kill herself that way. She was on oxygen and lit a match. This was on the 10 floor and I was on the ground floor. All of a sudden this horrible smell of burning flesh and hair came wafting through the ventilation system. We didn't know what was going on so everyone was making up jokes that the cafeteria was going to a new level serving us shitty food. Of course we were horrified when we heard the story.
I've seen so many suicides. Some people come up with very strange ways to try and kill themselves. One guy drank a quart of Malathion. One person recently drove across the freeway here and purposely tried to get into a head on with another car. Yes he killed himself but he also killed someones wife in the process. He was despondent his wife had left him. Burnings are the worst because they are most horrific and the smell is unforgettable. The only way I can describe it is burning hair.
Miffed;-)

Get used to it. Nothing is solvable the rubicon to start addressing this was crossed quite some time ago thanks to our central planners and bankers.
Greece is the template of the start, add some more LA Riots redux into the mix. The deep seated hatred that defines America, black vs white, red vs blue, east coast vs fly over, religion is so toxic that the Yogosalvian breakup will look like a picnic.
Ugly, doesn't even come close to describing what this will look like.
If anyone is not truly fearful they are delusional.
Rant over/
first tunisia, then DC. When will the banksters burn?
No but this is how it all started in Egypt, Greece, Tibet.......
Welcome to the Revolution 'meriKa hope your ready
Yep. It's smoldering. You can feel it.
Maybe they will move 'burning man' to DC next year...this is just a trial run.
Toasted liberal I hope
rumor has it that is it neo-con Bill Kristol........he was upset that we didnt start another multi-trillion dollar war in the ME
No, if it had been Bill Kristol, he would have found some innocent brown women and children to burn, not himself. Making OTHERS do your dirty work, and making others suffer in your place and for your twisted NWO goals, is the neocon way, after all.
Besides, it takes courage to burn yourself, a trait that is notably lacking among all the neocon chickenhawks.
Damn skippy on that pasty viper, Krystol.
"Besides, it takes courage to burn yourself."
Exactly how I feel, and people are flipping me shit for that. To lite yourself up in protest is commitment and sacrifice on a scale few will ever know.
This guy didn't lash out.
"His name and age weren't immediately known."
Until I hear otherwise, I'm going to call him...

Kudos to joggers trying to help and save him.
F Obam, Reid, Pelosi, Dems and Dem voters plus teh NWO and RINOs.
Thank you.
Most of you posters here are disgusting with your humor about such a horrible act.
Didn't he see the NO SMOKING sign?
Coming soon: Self-Immolation-Free Zones.
Maybe they will make this a 'no gasoline' and 'no automobile' zone. Fewer guests that way, and reduce the 'agendas' and 'issues'.
He did it to himself, no?
Darwin awards are meant to be celebrated.
At any rate, this is a pressage to what's coming.
It will get worse. Deal with it.
That is damn right Scarlett, harden your heart to suffering and pain you will be seeing more of it as the Cloward-Piven starts to really bite.

+1 Freddie. It's good to know that not everyone has lost their sense of humanity, even in a shithole like Vichy DC.
Respectfully disagree, Freddie.
I feel any attempt to interfere with a self immolation is an interference in self expression.
1st Amendemnt. This guy walked it like he talked it, and for that...hats off and bottoms up brother.
"Kudos to joggers trying to help and save him."
Did he really want to die? Will he want to live with possibly horrible burns? It's a natural thing to try to save someone doing this sort of thing, but he might be better off dead if his burns were bad enough.
This!
Only two things that are missing to make this a complete act, really...
1)Some sort of note...although this fella may have thought the "why" was obvious...and I can see that.
2) a vid camera to capture the act for maximum expression. If you are going to make that sacrifice, I think it should have as much audience as possible.
if the hairs inside his nose are burnt
he inhaled super heated air ..
he is already dead , just doesn't know it yet..
The joggers trying to help and save him are TOTAL ASSHOLES. If he survives the treatment for Burns he will be in a scarred up body. Recovery from burns is the most painful of all. To live through it is a HORRIBLE FATE.
If I were to self immolate then I want to die. That is my intent. It is MY LIFE. If I choose to end it then so be it. That act is not a cry for help.
You are a cruel son of a bitch to put someone through the Agony of Recovery, Freddie. And if he dies from the injuries then he suffers for what? A lifetime of disfigurement? You and those joggers are really so very shallow and sick.
If I were to decide to do that then LET ME GO. Hell I hate being on this Planet because of people like you. What a cruel motherfucker!!!
dude is America like Greece now?
All we need is for some old fuck to shoot himself/hang himself and leave a letter blaming the govt
At this juncture I would like to point your attention to Aaron Swartz's case.
Greece has a head start.
Immolation is the sincerest form of flattery?
LOL!!!!
Obama bot: "Self immolation? We cover that!"
"When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around"
Sorry to say but when people on the edge...see the economy and government going off the edge, they probably figure 'first gets best dibs'...so one gets support for her kid, and whackos get 10 years of free healthcare. First gets best dibs...last loser gets nothing.
First loser gets the most while society is still whole.
In the end if there is collapse or RESET, then we all will lose.
Crash and burn! What happens tomorrow?
You know that Dear Leader eats this stuff up. He thrives on chaos.
Forward (over the cliff)!
