The article said a bystander was severely burned trying to stop him from using his lighter.

He has a lighter in his right hand. He bursts into flames as soon as he sparks it.

What a count to profit off his suicide

Add: my fault, didn't see he tried to kill her too, that's f-ed up , I own it

That video was not what I was expecting. Thought it was gonna be a security camera from the venue. Nope. First person phone camera as the dude set himself on fire. Won't unsee that one.

Well, pretty sure that "Set Yourself on Fire" is on the Stupid Games List.

Wow. Considering that the GFM says:

quote:

That night, unknown to Alyssa, Jared stalked her to her work. What unfolded next was unfathomable, even to those who understood exactly who he was, and his capacity for domestic violence, in order to punish her for failing to get back together with him.


Since her stalker/attacker is dead, wouldnt think that:

She needs immediate and weekly trauma therapy. She needs time off from work to heal and process before returning to Murphy's and the public eye.

Well, he did try to kill her, and she did watch him burn to death. I would imagine that could be pretty traumatizing even if it were a complete stranger - much more so if it were someone you had a deep history with.

shite, if someone had previously tried to kill me and set themselves on fire in front of me, I'd run inside to get some graham crackers, marshmallows and a Hershey bar.

The song playing at the beginning of the video was perfect for this type of stupidity
