A man set himself on fire on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley on Wednesday afternoon, according to campus police.

The University of California Police Department (UCPD) said they received a call at roughly 4:17 p.m. about a person who was on fire.

The reported self-immolation took place on Sproul Plaza, the center of the campus.

"Berkeley Mental Health was on scene and several good samaritans tried to render aid and put out the fire. At least one of these good samaritans sustained unknown injuries and was transported to a local hospital," the statement from UCPD said.

The video is valuable and maybe can be sold.

The visdo is worth more than the life of a Berkley nobody

I strongly suspect massive amounts of drugs were used.

And one guy hit him with a bicycle.

It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em.

I have this recurring nightmare where I come across a car fire and someone inside is seen in the window screaming for help, and people are standing outside the car video recording it with their cell phones, instead of helping.

I dream that I help cut the woman’s seatbelt and get her out and then proceed to beat the sh*t out of everyone who stood by recording with their phones and cramming them down their throats.

This is exactly what I will do if I ever see something like that.

Was it on a no-burn day? He might be in trouble with CARB.

I remember when that happened. I believe they were burning themselves in protest of the Ngo Dinh Nhu government of South Vietnam.

One thing we know for sure—he is not an anti-war protester.

Those are banned and canceled at Berkeley these days—part of their “free speech” movement.

There is a fire extinguisher by the front door...
