What a waste of resources. That scene and incident could have been handled with 2-4 officers.

“A helicopter and multiple D.C. Fire trucks responded within minutes as he was hit with extinguishers.”

Fake news. a bunch of cops, one of which took a dive after getting off his bicycle, responded.

What is it Indian people and setting themselves on fire.

Edit: it would be hilarious if he was actually hit with fire extinguishers

Fuckwit should have done it on a Saturday.

Less impact to traffic.

A few decades ago a guy drove a tractor into the pond near the Reflecting Pool and then stayed there a few days.

The US Park Police had to cordon the area along Constitution Ave. off, not to protect the citizenry from him, but to protect him from the irate commuters.

We also had a nut job tie up traffic over the old Wilson Bridge, standing on the rail claiming he was going to hurtle himself about 60 feet into the Potomac River. Closed the bridge, which is I-95N for nine hours. People were calling in to local radio stations offering to shoot the fuckwit. And they weren't joking.

How does he still have hair in that pic?  Wouldn't it have quickly burned off?

He must have had a fire suit on. He was even walking around after they put him out.

ETA: based on the pic and his face I guess not. Something seems very off about this.

How is his hair still all in place?

The man who set himself on fire on a lawn near the White House on Wednesday has died in the hospital after suffering burns to 85 percent of his body.

Arnav Gupta, 33, was identified by US Park Police on Thursday after dying in the hospital.

He had been reported missing by his family around the time that he was seen setting himself on fire on a lawn at Ellipse Park near the White House.

Gupta was from Bethesda, Maryland. His motive for the deadly stunt remains unclear.

He was reported missing by his family after leaving his home at 9.20am. Three hours later, he was filmed setting himself on fire.

He was walking around in flames, hair on fire but not his face, and the first couple of extinguishers didn't seem to have any effect.

That's my plan if I ever commit suicide.
Wait till the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and block the Wilson Bridge bridge for hours.
Hundreds of thousands of people stock in traffic on I-95 from New York to North Carolina going home to see mama would hate me.
I'd just make sure the police can't shoot me off the bridge with a bean bag gun, like they ended up resorting to the last time.

One time the custodian union blocked the Roosevelt bridge with a school bus during morning rush hour.
That ended quickly when people started getting out of their cars and heading towards the bus and the protesters to move them themselves.
The police quickly forced the protesters to leave.

The way he was just standing there withstanding the fire makes me think it was fake/a stunt; even looks like he was wearing a flame suit.

It takes most self-immolators about 0.3 seconds to realize they fucked up and start running around like a headless chicken.

Shit.  Drugs?  It's that simple?

Look, a man self immolates, and he's got a minute or two of my time.  I don't know when I instituted this policy, but I'm going to pretend it's a policy I've long held.

Surely he had some documented grievances?  Something.

Now, if people start burning like matches in the Sun, then I'm going to modify my policy.  But, until then, yeah, you've got my attention.  Make the most of it.  Persuade me.
