re: Dude sets himself on fire outside the White House

Well, if he WASN'T wearing some kind of asbestos suit or other fireproof material, then he was on a whole LOT of pain-killing drugs. He was walking around WAY too casually. Somebody burning alive and feeling it would be rolling around desperately or running around screaming their head off.

Nothing to worry about, that one cop was sounding his siren for maximal effect.

Yeah, those sound waves helped stifle the flames.

The motherfricker set his gotdamn self on fire...? Is it not conceivable that he's going to be in a different state of mind as someone who's unwillingly burning alive, or no? Whether drugs, mental illness, trump derangement syndrome, etc., the guy obviously had an intent mindset of lightning himself ablaze, and he doesn't look to have a "suit" on. Regardless, like another said, being fully engulfed can put you in a dazed state of shock. As far as where did the cop get the fire extinguisher from so fast, I don't know why that's such a big mystery? Every cop keeps a fire extinguisher in his patrol car.

I keep them in every one of my vehicles and properties. It's a damned handy thing to have and second to none (excluding a tanker truck) for putting out fires while they're manageably small. There's a reason why they're mandated in all businesses and commercial vehicles: it's a key component in a first responder's arsenal. If I'm turned over & trapped & my truck is on fire then look for my fire extinguisher plz, thx.

I read the daily mail report on this, and they made obvious accusations that this was conveniently done AFTER the announcement from Mueller, etc. It was strange that they went on that long schpill until I kept reading and saw the picture they were trying to paint. Honest question for nobody in particular: Is this turning into some sort of a conspiracy thing? It feels like it.

Some unoriginal, dumbarse nutjob sets himself on fire and people are wondering where cops came up with fire extinguishers, was there a suit, why so calm, so orange, etc.- and those are the sane, reasonable questions. There are far more absurd ones on the information superhighway.

He's orange because he's a human being burning alive, via a very flammable substance that he was well marinated in. The cop had a fire extinguisher because all cops do, and he had no suit on, you can see his flesh.

He's not calm; he's insane.

This is not the 1st, nor is it gonna be the last time some Darwin award winner will decide to turn himself into a crispy critter. It's a horrible way to go both physically, and for the sake of your legacy. It's so "yesterday," and it's futile and it says more about the person who did it and less about what for: You're unstable if anything bothers you enough to set yourself on fire if that was your motive. I've no respect for your cause; there are better ways to go about the matter. Momma didn't raise no fool.

(And most of this is not directed at you or anyone in particular TigersFan64. I'm just seeing the chatter, and now I'm seeing "news" sites dropping bread crumbs for the sheeple to devour. It's perplexing folks have so much free time on their hands while coming close to being a contributing member of society who possesses even meager quantities of responsibility.)

One thing is for sure: if the man is even conscious, he's probably wishing that cops do not, in fact, carry fire extinguishers.

Must be some kind of new protest leftist are starting.

Oh well.

apparently he was reported missing a few days earlier and was feared to be suicidal

that is definitely one way to do it, I guess...

Turns out it was just your average skin suit.

Does anyone know how exactly a person with major burns dies? Infection? Or what? It makes sense, but obviously being in a lot of pain isn’t the reason.
