Graphic photos: Black man sits down at the national mall and calmly sets himself on fire

Yesterday an unidentified man (later found to have mental illness) sat down at the National Mall in Washington DC, sprinkled fuel all over his body, and quietly set himself on fire. He didn't flinch from where he was sitting as the fire consumed him. Other people around the area had to come to his rescue but he suffered first degree burns. See the uncensored photos after the cut. *viewer discretion advised*

      Me think intolerance is the leading cause of mental illness.Many (nt all) who susceptiblable can't stand the modern world. They are some small
      minded people who want to intervene in everybodies live.

      What PC does is simple. Get a thesaurus handy on ur phone. Linda posts a topic, u typing in the simplest word that describes it in the thesaurus, it generates synonyms to it, and u simply pick the big word among them and fix in ur comment.

    Its happening again.
    This was a trend in the late 70's to mid 80's amongst Hippies in the US.
    Mental disorder is one side of the argument(quite the logical one),Spiritual machinations is another.
    Whatever the cause of this may have been,the only shocking detail is the fact that this dude didn't move a muscle while this whole fiery episode ensued.

Greater judgment would be yours if he devows he's commitment with God! Priests are humans and due to the Vow of chastity dey mortiffy there urge,,it's nt Easy on dem.. My dear,, u are just a temptation to him... You should avoid to help the poor priest! The Eternal father would Reward your Effort! *Maria*
