"Have you noticed how since Donald Trump became President, the number and the frequency of mass shootings on American soil has gone way, way down? I have."
I would love to able to attribute no mass killings since January 20th (a little over 60 days) to some Trump effect however most mass killings have little relevance to President or party.....
Phsycopaths do what Physcopaths do whatever and whenever the little voices in their head tell them to....
Not all details are known, but that is an ugly way to commit suicide
Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
If you build a man a fire he will be warm for the night. If you light a man on fire he will be warm for the rest of his life.
I’d like to know more, but damn.
I am guessing drug-induced psycopathies. I could be wrong, but long-term drug abuse destroys the mind and could lead to things like this or variations. I think we should try to help drug addicts, but the majority either don’t want help or can’t shake addiction. A good reason to never try drugs.
Sounds like the guy who kicked off the Arab Spring in Tunisia by setting himself on fire.
Given that whatever investigations the FBI may have had of him are now effectively closed, will the FBI release his files, if any, to the public? If they deny there are any, would this be because there really aren’t any, or because they destroyed the records as part of a coverup?
OMG! Was this man a veteran?
He certainly needed help, years ago.
Prayers for him and his family.
Would you please add me to the list? Lived there for 10 years and miss it every day.
Thanks, Julie
That guy in Tunisia set himself on fire to protest unemployment; apparently the police had confiscated his vegetable cart, and he could no longer make a living.
An extreme form of cutting one’s nose off to spite one’s face.
I agree 100%.
Not a big fan of the jokes here, on this thread.
They’re easy to make but this man was certainly in a lot of emotional pain. And his family must be very distraught as well.
As you said prayers for his family, and prayers for his soul.
There was some idiot Quaker back during the Vietnam war who set himself on fire outside the Pentagon- while hanging on to his poor child. The child survived, while even bigger idiots praised the fool.
Cleanup in aisle 3.
Thanks, Julie.
You are on the list.
Earlier this month, another man killed himself in public in Lafayette.
On the flip side, many people with serious brain disorders to begin with, such as BiPolar disorder or Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective disorder, etc., often turn to drugs to “self medicate.” Have several family members in the class I’m currently teaching with loved ones in that terrible situation.
It would be interesting to know more about his background. Since he was trying to get attention and get people to video this, it seems he could have been trying to make some kind of statement.
Could be.
