“Wynn Bruce dies after lighting himself on fire outside Supreme Court”
I remember when these papers used to describe lighting one’s self on fire as self immolation.
Immolation a transitive verb. 1 : to kill or destroy especially by fire. 2 : to offer in sacrifice especially : to kill as a sacrificial victim.
Be interesting if any news reports on this story uses “immolation” as the transitive verb.
I doubt there is anyone in the news media today with a vocabulary that would contain, “immolation”. They just ain’t that bright any more.
