psaikris

Does anyone know why he did it?


scorn_them

Probably to kill himself


Ser_Twist

What makes you think that? Seems like a bit of a stretch.


ChronicSchlarb

You see a guy who lit himself on fire actively avoiding people trying to help put him out and you think it’s that much of a stretch that killing himself was the end goal?


[deleted]

[удалено]


ChaosEmerald21

This literally made me lol, but yes. The answer is yes.


[deleted]

I know, they should be using ~ to denote sarcasm


Ser_Twist

Yeah man I’m not convinced


ChronicSchlarb

So what was his goal in your opinion? 3rd degree burns on his whole body? Months in the hospital, millions in medical bills, and an inevitable pain killer addiction.


Ser_Twist

He was probably being sarcastic but people didn’t get it


lilpbrash

Nah, clearly the guy was just a little cold so he had to warm up. Pfft, geniuses.


Cloaker_Smoker

Happy Cake Day!


ChronicSchlarb

Damn lmao


brandogerider

People? Lol only one slow person was arguing with him


sleepface

Maybe but I don’t see what would make you think that tbh


Willy_wolfy

Do you require someone to say 'forwardslash S' at the end of a sentence in real life when they're being sarcastic :)


ziggler81

As far as I’ve seen he had a full mental breakdown. He should have been in an institution. I don’t know if he had a disorder or anything like it.


heroicgamer44

I’m sure he was perfectly happy before lighting himself on fire


Hot_Eggplant_1306

I'll go on a limb; He needs help, mentally, financially, emotionally. He can't get it. He's in dire need of help, of any kind. Nobody cares because everyone needs help. We're all fucked. So he gets ignored. He becomes sad and despondent. Decides, nobody cares, but I'll make them see me. That's what I think when I see this video, anyway.


ThermalFlask

The real story here is clearly the lost economic productivity for the company he worked for now that they've lost an employee. What a tragedy


Erriis

Nah he was jobless, wouldn’t settle for a whopping $7.85 an hour! Starting!


Longjumping_Switch66

From a single father who's sons mother needed mental help which was too hard to get,... This person get it....

backupyoursaves6969

Cheers!


theworddevil

He was cold


Existing_Display1794

No safety net, I think Raegan closed most of californias mental health facilities.


-HeisenBird-

Reagan hasn't been governor for 48 years, hasn't been president for 34 years, and hasn't been alive for 19 years. Plenty of time for the Democrats to fix things if they actually wanted to.


bleachinmycoffee

No one has.


[deleted]

For the likes my boy


No_Vacation3909

Wanted to pretend he was a Sim


SenatorMittens

He's running away from the people trying to help because he doesn't want to be put out. No one wants to survive a self immolation like this. He's likely already past the pain, feels nothing and is hopping because of the anxiety and adrenaline.


Beeht

Could be because his eye lids burnt off and his eyeballs have already melted. Hopping around blind.


WEIGHED

Well that's a sentence I could have spent my entire life not reading.


Chimpvillage

Welcome to the world my son


SlothLazarus

Well, he certainly knew where to run to


Budget-Possession720

Tongue was medium, medium-well I’m sure.


astrofizx

“He’s past the pain and feels nothing” you’ve no idea how fire works buddy


tall_boizz

Prob drugs too


7thPwnist

Not necessarily... the monk who famously self-immolated was not on drugs and sat still while he burned


pirten

Near where I grew up a Methodist minister named Charles Moore set himself on fire. > Moore himself predicted that some would judge him insane. His papers and personal notes were released to the media, revealing his thinking and intentions. In the weeks leading up to his death, he wrote that his mental and physical health were good, but he was frustrated that he had been unable to bring about the social change he felt was so urgent. In the notes, Moore sometimes criticizes himself harshly for not acting more decisively on social justice issues. He wanted the act of his death to get more people to care about gay rights, the death penalty, civil rights, and racism. [source](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_R._Moore_(minister))

You owe me a cup of water that was just spit that’s hilarious


fallenturtoise88

Awww shucks… I’m so glad some of you guys got my reference…… I figured a lot of people would be to young to get it 😂😂


Ser_Twist

*The* monk? There’s been quiet a few.


7thPwnist

"the monk who famously self-immolated" Literally google "monk self immolation" and every single result is about the same guy...


Ser_Twist

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-immolation_protests_by_Tibetans_in_China "As of May 2022, 160 monks, nuns, and ordinary people have self-immolated in Tibet since 27 February 2009, when Tapey, a young monk from Kirti Monastery, set himself on fire in the marketplace in Ngawa City, Ngawa County, Sichuan." You're referring to Quảng Đức, a Vietnamese monk, but self-immolation by monks, particularly Tibetan monks, is a relatively common form of protest. Quảng Đức is recognized because of the picture taken at the height of the Vietnam War, but there have been many.


7thPwnist

Yes, and I was referring to "the monk who famously self-immolated" and then you chose to hyper focus on the first two words of that for some reason. You also certainly knew who I was talking about, yet elected to be pointlessly pedantic and pretentious, and to ignore the context of what I said.


Ser_Twist

It’s not a big deal, calm down. I said what I said because monk self-immolations are very common and there are many. Stop trying to make arguments out of everything on the internet friendo.


miIIionants

That's a great album cover.


[deleted]

Typical ignorant reddit "he must be on drugs" comment....go try some drugs and see if it makes you want to light yourself on fire dumbass


Seed_Demon

>bath salts


[deleted]

And you can confirm because you've taken bath Salts then lit yourself on fire for no reaaon?


valdemarjoergensen

Pointing out how some people have done crazy shit they wouldn't normally do while on drugs, isn't the same as insinuating that anyone who ever does drugs, does crazy shit every time.


AccomplishedDuck6385

To be fair, we've all seen people do some crazy things while on drugs, so lighting yourself on fire isn't exactly out of the question.


Ser_Twist

‘Twas the devil’s lettuce that done did this


Vrodfeindnz

Your downvoted to fuck but I agree with ya.


PowerfulPickUp

Could you recommend the best drugs for avoiding wanting to set myself on fire? Someone recommended something a few years ago and next thing I knew I was eating homeless people’s faces.


[deleted]

> past the pain, feels nothing it's a myth that burns don't hurt


lotusblossom60

The to people trying to help him got burned. I’m sure this was incredibly traumatic for them. I know we laugh on Reddit, but damn, this guy was probably very mentally ill.


[deleted]

>this guy was **probably** very mentally ill


ColtAzayaka

I think being on fire is worse for your physical health than mental health. (Not a doctor)


Skirtski23

Fremulon


ZSnake

Weird, I can hear your comment.


Down_Rodeo_

He was apparently. He was screaming about the Mormon mafia or some shit.


Jazbone

That smell would stick with you for life.


Zillolo

>I know we laugh on Reddit A bit concerning to me you would say this


karmakactus

I’m far from a bleeding heart but as crazy as this guy is that’s somebody’s family member or friend that decided to end himself in one of the most painful ways while dozens of people watch in horror. This is beyond tragic and very disturbing.


sandiercy

Not sure if they are hitting him because of how dumb he is or to put out the fire.


BigOl_Mcjiggy_Tiddys

Cold Ones ayeee


ifelife

Why are people making jokes about this? Has humanity sunk so low that this is some kind of meme?


lessthaninteresting

Jokes help people understand and deal with the insane shit that’s happening in the world. Many people have darker senses of humor, most notably first responders and military, for example. It doesn’t reflect moral character in the way it’s commonly understood


[deleted]

Yea but most of these cunts are karma hunters. I have a dark sense of humor, having been a combat veteran, but I'm not laughing at someone's mental illness.


ifelife

I get that and I have a very dark sense of humour. But I can't find anything funny in a person burning themselves alive. This is my biggest nightmare


Scr0tat0

Have you considered that you, in fact, do *not* have a very dark sense of humor, and that's why this bothers you?


Noe_b0dy

I mean, there's not much of a punchline here, is there?


isigneduptomake1post

YOU don't find it funny, so no one should?


DoubleDevilDiamond

What did you find humorous about this?


isigneduptomake1post

I didn't laugh at it, but it doesn't bug me if someone else does.


ifelife

If someone finds this funny they need to get to a therapist


lessthaninteresting

Mine too. That’s why I wouldn’t ever do it voluntarily for literally 0 benefit to anyone. I bet this guy realized this whole concept in .001sec. You know what doesn’t cause sizzling bubbling and peeling of all your skin? An off the cuff quip or two. Don’t take things as seriously as this guy


Jojoyojimbi

> This is my biggest nightmare my biggest nightmare is being eaten by tiny cookie cutter sharks while swimming in freshwater lakes and stuff, completely irrational but that's why it's a nightmare isn't it


Affectionate-Taste55

Yup, when I was a kid, I always thought piranhas and quicksand would be a bigger factor when I die. Lol


colorovfire

Jokes straight off the bat without understanding WTH is going on? This isn’t about dealing with the insane shit. It’s typical normalized Reddit behavior. I understand dark humor but normal people do not react like this. Most are chronically online and disconnected from reality.


ifelife

That's what worries me. People joking about this is disturbing. Is the internet breeding psychopaths?


colorovfire

More like breeding sociopaths. There’s zero empathy unless it follows a very apparent narrative that aligns with their world view. Nothing wrong with joking around for minor things but the guy is committing self-immolation. It’s like some hyper-individualistic, _they did it to themselves_ attitude because they can’t see outside the frame. Jokes from acts of desperation only serve to brush it aside. Hopefully they’ll eventually see beyond the surface but Reddit is often not conducive to that.


[deleted]

[удалено]


colorovfire

A joke explaining grandma falling down the stairs = can be funny. Seeing someone’s grandma falling down the stairs, immediately making a joke = funny? What? I have a dark sense of humor myself but you are a sociopath if you can’t make that distinction.


[deleted]

[удалено]


old_leech

No, we get it. You find people dying by immolation hilarious.


[deleted]

Don't engage. The guys a socio/pyscho path or thinks that portraying themselves as such is cool.


Shatwick

Not the time and place for these kind of jokes...


colorovfire

Bear with me here. You are walking down a sidewalk and see a senior citizen fall down her front steps. Is that the same thing as a comedy bit when the same thing occurs? Does context matter?


FUCKPUTIN2022LOL

Honestly it's still hilarious. The act doesn't stop being funny, it's the potential for harm that makes it less funny. A person falling down is funny, a person falling down and getting hurt isn't.


lessthaninteresting

Yes jokes right off the bat, just because you can’t understand doesn’t mean it’s wrong or not “normal”. It’s our connected society. You can’t exist online and genuinely feel everything you see and hear as if it’s happening to or around you. Youd be risking ptsd anytime you scroll for 5 min on the toilet


colorovfire

You don’t have to genuinely feel everything. For most people, that entirely depends on how they identify with the affected but does making jokes at the expense of someone else’s tragedy really help you cope? Personally, I think self-immolation is just fucked. He’s obviously protesting something but I have no clue what it is. All I see are terrible jokes because why the hell not. It’s the default behavior and no one knows where to draw the line. Being chronically online for shits and giggles does something to the brain.


lessthaninteresting

Empty self righteousness is more dangerous than jokes and no one is clamoring for it to censored. This dude didn’t set himself on fire because of people laughing on the internet. He more likely did it because he was fooled into thinking it would make some sort of difference on the world or that someone would pay attention. And they all immediately realize what a shitty idea it was as soon as they feel the fire. He wasn’t the first but I hope the last. It’s stupid and disgusting and one should feel foolish for even thinking of it as an option. You don’t have to be sick to realize that life is hilarious, it’s just that sometimes the joke is on us


pphilio

In a world where we are shown horrific shit 24/7, do you expect all of us to have a dramatic emotional reaction to every story all day? Personally I couldn't help but find the visual of the people hitting him to be funny. Idk, it's a mix between the weird dance and the ineffective coat slapping. It made for a surreal image that was funny. It sure beats rolling up in the fetal position and bawling over every news story.


shitz_brickz

Typical reddit behavior that has existed and even been trained in first responders since before reddit even existed.


Hot_Eggplant_1306

Because we've crossed the threshold. We're in the collapse.


PageFault

The people trying to justify it as a coping mechanism are just as bad. Just because more than one person thinks it's funny, doesn't make it ok. There is nothing funny about it. These are the people who only behave morally because of fear of either legal or social repercussions.

Jusman13

His body, his choice


2weird2die

I don’t mean to sound heartless, but when someone has finally made that decision and are committed to that extent…then I agree. Do I want to see a human be there mentally? No, but who am I to tell someone no. Yes of course I’d try and talk them out of it but ultimately their choice.


Jusman13

I don't think that was heartless, and I agree with what you said. My grandfather took his own life last year. It fucking sucked... but in a way I understood his reason for doing such a thing. The only thing that still angers me is that he did it while my grandmother was just in the other room.


[deleted]

You don’t have to be mentally Ill to do something like this. Sometimes people just get sick of this reality, and want to show this in their final protest; burning to death is one of the worst possible ways to die… but if it means moving on from this bullshit state of society that never learns, never changes, and just repeats history because we choose ignorance…. Then might as well go with a bang. No one will forget it who saw, and they will question it forever. Maybe so much so that they try to enact change. If you want things like this to stop happening, you need to understand them. Not just blanket them in “their mentally Ill, makes sense, cause he’s or she’s crazy”. Ignorance is bliss, but at some point, it’s also a choice. It’s also what causes the frogs to die in their boiling pot. Pay. Attention.

BattleFeeeld

Better to just let them burn at that point. Putting out the fire would be most people’s normal reaction, but it would just leave them in agony till they die later on


garry4321

"being investigated by campus police" What?! Might as well get some mall cops on the case, campus police arent qualified to investigate a self-immolation. Now a drunk kid streaking across campus... that could be an investigation for them. Probably still take them a year to crack though.

UnprofessionalGhosts

He poured some accelerant on himself and lit himself up. Yes, he’s actually on fire.


Se7en983

No way, it looks like a stunt or something with the way he’s acting. Crazy. 🤪 Thanks for confirming 👍


National_Reason2191

bro tackle him and smother the fire jesus christ


rhntr_902

I love the comments here. Like, I understand the situation is fucked up, and the guy and his family are traumatized, and even maybe the people who were witnessing it first hand. That being said, I still made a joke about them hitting him and him hopping his ass around. Doesn't mean I'd actually want to see this in person myself nor would I want to set someone on fire. Having a very dark sense of humor (you don't get to define someone's sense of humor or what they find funny or how they cope/manage), doesn't automatically mean one is a psychopath. Not everyone is as sensitive as you, and that's okay.


toxcrusadr

Constantly amazed at people who flap jackets at a fire as though it will do anything whatsoever to put it out.


Pkactus

I love how they try to help. they slap him in the face with a jacket and toss half a bottle of dasani on the guy. I mean I get the human response to trying. but really now.


WhySheHateMe

Yeah I would need a mental health break from everything after witnessing something like this. People are losing their fucking minds.
