LOL that would be consistent of them wouldn't it. Fires are a danger to the public after all.

I'll bet if you look in the law library long enough, you would find it is against the law to run around on fire.

What is happening?!

A D.C. Metro Police spokesperson confirmed to Business Insider that they were responding to a report of a man on fire at the National Mall. The spokesperson added that the man was conscious and breathing, and that the incident began around 4.24 p.m. http://www.businessinsider.com/national-mall-man-reportedly-sets-himself-on-fire-2013-10
I've had the TV news (fox) on and there's been no mention of this!

Didnt Richard Pryor set himself on fire while trying to light a cigarette and drinking bacardi 100 proof? Hopefully this has a more interesting story to it.

This guy poured gas over his head a lit it. He planned it. Where's the note?

Lets not even talk about all the carbon that evil bastard released by burning all that gas! He shoulda been shot just for that.

[jmdrake]

There will be some way to blame this on the tea party.

With all the talk of a "government shutdown," he read great things about Burning Man from an anarchist zine. Unfortunately, he also lacked reading comprehension.

Ba-dum-tish.

I caught from another article that he set up a tripod before the incident to film himself. African American. Air lifted. Critical Condition. No other details or motive.
