Man sets himself on fire near White House
CNBC ^ | May 29 2019 | Dan Mangan, Kevin Breuninger

Posted on 05/29/2019 5:08:37 PM PDT by jonascord

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.”

I doubt he makes it.

As fully consumed as he was and for as long as he was on fire before the flames were put out, I don’t see that he could not have had 3rd degree burns over his entire body.

How the guy was able to stand for so long is beyond me. I cannot imagine not dropping like a sack of nickels and rolling around on the ground in agony, trying to put the fire out.

I think monks who do it know what they are doing and feel it is for some greater cause.

You are right. This was probably just a mentally imbalanced person.

Whoever does it, I can’t imagine they don’t regret it a WHOLE LOT right afterwards!!!!!!

What a HORROR of PAIN!!

IMHO, This is a deep state demonstration of a single MK-Ultra subject. Imagine hundreds or thousands of subjects convinced that the world is about to end because DJ Trump is President and enact their rage not against themselves, but against the country at a designated time in a wide variety of places.

This is not a game. (To quote Q)

What a flaming idiot.

Driving a motorized wheelchair but then setting himself on fire and standing/walking around.

The world just keeps getting more strange. It’s like a Satanic Benny Hill is running everything from a hidden bunker.

“Despite the shock of the Western public, the practice of Vietnamese monks self-immolating was not unprecedented. Instances of self-immolations in Vietnam had been recorded for centuries, usually carried out to honor Gautama Buddha.”

I like your selection by the Ink Spots too!

Here's another song by the Ink Spots, this one meant for Mueller and all his evil friends...(not to change the subject of this heated discussion, or anything)…

Engulfed in flames or literally engulfed in flames? I’m so confused.
