Fire

[ruthie]

A man approximatly 60 yrs. old set himself on fire about an hour ago in front of the White House, yelling Allah. Reminiscent of the monks during vietnam.

correction: he set his briefcase and coat on fire; apparently holding it in the process, thus burning his hand.

I don't think he's going to get the reaction wanted this way...

EDIT: I now see that he has 2nd and 3rd degree burns on 30% of his body; Would probably be a lot more if he didn't leave a fire estinguisher conveniently nearby. :huh:

How old is Colin Powell?

He said he would ony serve for one term and that was intention. As for his age...I don't want to guess...don't want to get it wrong. :P

Whats it matter?

Your talking about a country that was proud of having an 80 year old sufferer of Dimentia with his finger on the button :rolleyes:

Unless there is something interesting in the FBI link to the story, so what?

Some attention whore decides to burn himself but not too badly since he takes a fire extinguisher to the scene. He gets a hurt a bit, he goes to hospital. Life goes on.

There are mentally infirm people everywhere, this is a not-very extreme case of it.

This is also true, and also knows no Religious or Cultural boundaries.
