I dont know. Lighting yourself on fire seems pretty fricking alpha to me. Hardcore. Although, I imagine its one of the those things that you instantly regret.

Accidental alpha?

He was probably more a fan of Jim Morrison:

"Light My Fire"

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah

The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Come on baby, light my fire

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire

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.



no shite

I have a general issue with gofundme stuff, but if the summary is true, she held the door closed and watched him burn to death

that's fricked regardless of how bad he was to her, and I'm sure she probably does need help

given that she probably doesn't have source of medical help in this circumstance, her friends trying to raise money to help her get her life back together seems reasonable IMO

He was running into a crowded bar while literally engulfed in flames...he could have easily taken multiple and/or the entire bar down. He had also beaten the everliving shite out of her in the past. The guy definitely should have received some mental/emotional help somewhere along the way, but at that point I don't think she's at all at fault for holding the door closed as long as she could and yelling for all of the patrons to run outside. $27k may be an excessive amount of money, but she is without a doubt going to need some kind of trauma counseling after seeing that. It's been disturbing me and I wasn't even there and have only seen the guy around town, never knew him personally.

To clear up any confusion, I'm not faulting her in the slightest

I'm just saying it's a fricked up scenario that she was put in a position to do and see that

If anything I think she deserves a medal for doing it

I mean, how do you try to save someone that is engulfed in flames after being doused in an accelerant?

Outside of a beastly fire extinguisher or a swimming pool, there isn't anything she could've done.

Not to worry, artists like tend to flame out rather quickly.

Not to mention he managed to damage a bunch of her sound equipment that she has to replace herself due to water, smoke damage, etc.
