http://news.bostonherald.com/national/view.bg?articleid=54221 Just happened a little while ago. No word on why he did it yet.
That would be a waste of a perfectly good match. I can just see Laura, running around the White House with her Febreze, muttering to herself, "I haven't smelled charred flesh since I....."
Yet again, the gene pool receives a much-needed splash of chlorine (and yes, I'd have said the same thing if he'd done it in 1996).
Would you have said it to the Buddhist monks who did it during the Vietnam War? I'm not trying to defend this guy in particular (we don't know why he did it, but I am assuming it's in protest given the location), I am just trying to understand why some people just hate protest. What if I would say "the gene pool gets a much-needed splash of chlorine" to a dead volunteer GI, who also presumably died for his beliefs. I personally think it's sad when people die in war and in protest of war. Let's just leave it at that, and not judge people. How 'bout it?
Without those monks, Rage against the Machine wouldn't nearly be as cool. So no, the monks aren't in play in this one.
According to the ABC article, he had his own fire extinguisher. Anyone who only partly lights themselves on fire in protest definitely deserves to have chlorine poured in their gene-pool for being half-assed losers.
It is stupid to burn yourself without taking somebody else with you. According to Islamic scholars, setting yourself on fire while yelling 'Allah, Allah' gets you only one virgin, and an ugly one at that.
Now, another dude jumped over the fence at the WH. What is going on here? Testing security for future attacks?
Okay, look, no matter what the cause people who set themselves on fire have some mental health issues. I feel bad for this guy - clearly he needs some help - but his biggest problem isn't George W Bush.
The man set himself on fire and he didn't die? What a waste, he'll have to explain why he turned himself into a human torch.
