A man sets himself on fire Wednesday on the Ellipse in downtown Washington, across from the White House, the Secret Service said.
A spokesman for the Washington Fire Department tells CNBC, “I can confirm that we’ve transported one patient with burns from the Ellipse and we’re now on the scene assisting law enforcement,” referring to Park Police and U.S. Secret Service officers.
Alina Berzins says she was visiting the National Mall with two of her cousins from Bolivia when “we saw this man” on the Ellipse and “he starts running, and then we saw him covered in flames.”

Saw the footage, too. He must have burns on 70% of his body. How could he possibly survive?

I remember a lawyer did the same thing awhile back.

Someone already made a meme of today's self-immolation.

Oh I won’t be up tonight. I am just genuinely sorry to see anyone this screwed up. I realize he may have done it to himself, but I don’t know.
