An elderly Polish man on Thursday (19 October) attempted self-immolation in protest against the country's right-wing government. Several leaflets were found near the Palace of Culture in Warsaw where the man poured an inflammable liquid to set himself alight, police said.
The leaflets reportedly carried statements accusing the government of violating the constitution, destroying the constitutional court and damaging the independent judicial system.
Warsaw police spokeswoman Magdalena Bieniek told AFP news agency that the incident took place around 4pm local time (3pm BST) on Thursday. The man suffered extensive burn injuries and was taken to hospital in a "serious condition", she added.

All his self-righteous “virtue” gone up in smoke.

Then he offered the footage to an NBC reporter on site and was told; "Good luck with that", as he turned away.

Self-immolation strikes me as a very non-Western thing to do. Westerners are men of action. Stick around and fight. If you wish to sacrifice yourself for a cause, die on the barricades or defending the life of an innocent. Why set yourself on fire?
Everyone should be sure to do some shopping to stock up on Vitamin Pb before that day.
