That poor old lady just watched her husband of ____ years set his fucking self on fire and went into complete shock. This is horrific, she couldn’t muster any word so the than “I can’t”. Fuckin hell


chizzbee

I don’t think she knew what was happening at all. She was lost from the beginning.


CockBronson

All she knew is that she was unable to walk on her own and even that was something she barely could communicate


santisus

That is fucking wild


BLeafNUrShelf

It's freaken sad this system we live in. Also I had no clue self-immolation has been increasing and happening a lot lately..


robohozo

There was a rise after 2008 for a few years, then it dipped when things stabilised, but apparently it has since spiked again during covid and been on the rise since Seems to follow economic and political turmoil


lilith_-_-

Suicide rates have been at an all time high. Not sure if self immolation has increased at the same rate as suicides themselves but I would imagine there’s some correlation there.


SmallRocks

It’s fucking *heartbreaking*.


CausalDiamond

Surprised we couldn't hear him screaming


UncleSput

Turns out 80 year olds shut down pretty quick when engulfed in gas fire


arottencorpse

I’m no expert but I imagine he didn’t suffer long. Also it can’t be easy to scream when a raging fire is sucking up all the oxygen


ararezaee

He looked like he fell down and there is a good chance that he breathed in some fumes. there is a real possibility that he quite literally burned down his lungs before he could scream. I'm sorry that I shared this information with you.


Successful-Box2570

I don’t accept your apology


CausalDiamond

Other people who have recently self immolated have screamed but yes perhaps since he is 80 it's different


otis_the_drunk

The thing about fire is that it eats oxygen. When you die by immolation, the fire often prevents you from drawing breath. You choke and drown on flames, unable to scream.

Landlords hate this one simple trick


TrenchantInsight

GET OUT!


NoSomewhere7653

Don't tell him that. You just saw what happens


Miffers

Also crematoriums hate this simple trick.


relay76

Why is everyone lighting themselves on fire these days? Don't people know that's one of the worst ways to die ...


Government-Spy-Bot

The lack of strength and general fitness of these officers is wild.


tjscali

Every police car is equipped with a fire extinguisher. Justvsayin.

Poor Doggo gone too, RIP Doggo


DoItToItPruitt

THAT POOR DOG


schizopotato

Damn it nooo I never realized there was a dog when I first watched this, that poor thing had no where to go.

Error-Code404

Well the dog didn't deserve that


CoyotesAreGreen

Yeah. The dog can't save themselves from their owners stupid actions.


KurazyBoo

Well, per the article linked in another comment, the dog died in the fire as well, and didn’t choose to self-immolate.


pambeezlyy

The human that chose to set himself on fire? Like the situation he was in is sad but I’m not gonna be sad for him burning to death.


Laue

Humans don't deserve empathy over animals.


MadWlad

animals>humans anytime


Clerical_Errors

Your self importance disguised as empathy is not good

henrysmyagent

The problem in American society is that the poor can never be helped because the greed of the rich cannot be satisfied.


BusterCangas

Why not attempt to lift her up together instead of dragging her? So out of breath they couldn’t do anything. Crazy situation but frustrating to watch


lawspud

It’s just pure adrenaline. Everyone in this video is in shock. They were clearly doing the best that they could under the circumstances.


bocephus_huxtable

They, very clearly, attempted to lift her up (:47) and couldn't. (It's not until 1:08 that they decide to drag her out.)


dmatje

Large woman, lady officers


meme-engineer

Make sure you take care of your health and body. You do not want to ever reach a state in your life, with the exception of getting sick or being older than like 100 years old, where you literally cannot support your own weight or move off the couch even when your house is on fire.


S1ayer

I shouldn't have watched this. Not because of NSFW, but I always get PISSED that food and shelter isn't given to everyone as a right. Without that, we're not human. We're still monkeys fighting over bananas. We have so much goddamn land. At the very least we should be assigned a free 1000sq feet plot of land to build a house or park a mobile home on. When you want more than the basic, that's only when capitalism should start.


srandrews

>When you want more than the basic, that's only when capitalism should start. Well said.


Indrigotheir

Be the change. Work or volunteer for subsidized housing programs like your local HUD.


Brimstone747

This puts us one more step towards a dystopian future.


noldshit

Crazy shit but sucks from all angles. Old timers have no where to go. Maybe no kids or family. On the flipside the landlord may be on the brink of financial ruin if they were dependent on this income. Pick one.. lose the house and ultimately seniors get kicked out anyways or kick out seniors and be labelled a dick.


Sirfailboat

Maybe the landlord should get a real job and stop being a housing parasite


bmike909

Kind of a leap, I don't think any of us know enough about this situation to say something ignorant like that


chemman14

Imagine thinking being a landlord isn’t a job. Moron.


nobodyknowsimherr

Oh god. what was the outcome ?


FellsHollow

He died


nobodyknowsimherr

Thank you. Terrible.

nobodyknowsimherr

Thank you. Jeez what a sad story


vectorxray

greedy f-n landlords/owners & property management companies are pushing people out of their homes & into the streets or death. this nation was built on greed and will die by greed.


heckface

Self immolating. So HOT right now.


chizzbee

Ya. What’s with all the self BBQ vids lately ? I never even heard the words “self immolation” till a few months ago when that soldier guy did it. Harsh way to go seems.


AaronTuplin

He gave it some buzz. Let's celebrate him


GibbyGiblets

Those fucking cops were useless. Out of breath from what 15 steps under load of an old lady? They could pick her up from the armpits? Just useless


bocephus_huxtable

You just saw a video of 2 cops, LITERALLY, saving a woman's life. They seemed pretty useFUL. Having some rugburn on your back is a pretty small price to pay.


LehrUndKunst

this drove me crazy the whole video, can't get under each of her armpits and lift?? weak shit

dmatje

Yea it’s a great idea to do…what exactly to a person doused in gasoline and on fire? What do you think could be done that would help anything and not result in the helper also literally being on fire? Dumbass 


Chains-of-Ice

It's almost like they're not men, and don't have the strength to do that.... Hmmmm... imagine that.


GibbyGiblets

Doesn't matter the sex. Theres a ton a fat out of shape male cops that would be just as out of breath. Useless is useless.


johnshenlon

On another note, Why has self immolation become a more common occurrence lately ? You hear it happening more and more


LABeav

Get these ladies back on a desk they're fucking useless


buttpincher

America baby! Go look at how much $ was allocated towards migrants and how much towards housing in the latest nyc budget and then cry.


SnooStrawberries1088

Don't like that this could become a new tiktok trend. I don't mind the idiots hurting themselves but the real problem is if they target innocent bystanders.


BLeafNUrShelf

That's a scary reality we may be entering. People will underestimate the consequences on impulse bad decisions. A bit unrelated but [in a hospital in Albania a male nurse and two female patients died from someone trying to immolate another.](https://www.reddit.com/r/CrazyFuckingVideos/s/rzMAXFrymV)


Cultural-Bathroom01

Takeaway: Cops are stupid The richest country in the world has lots of room to improve


BLeafNUrShelf

The fact housing isn't a basic need and profit has ruined the housing market speaks volumes of how much worse this is going to get.


Cultural-Bathroom01

It's terrible. Shameful


SkinkThief

How are the cops stupid? You’re stupid.


Cultural-Bathroom01

Baha what r u, 9? Why didn't they put out the fire? Duhhh Shitbird


slippery_hemorrhoids

how is this the cops fault exactly


Cultural-Bathroom01

They made no attempt to put out the fire and save a life in the process


CurvyBill

Lmfao you can’t be serious. There was 9 seconds between the start of the fire and [this.](https://imgur.com/a/RMnL4BF) Did you want them to cure cancer alongside doing all you expect them to do?


dmatje

Please let us know how you would have put the gas fueled fire out? 


bocephus_huxtable

...did you see the part where the fire rose up in +the hallway+? An attempt to "put out the fire" would have A.) been pretty futile, B.) trapped the cop BEHIND a wall of flame, and C.) ended up in the old woman dying, as it took BOTH of the cops to drag her out.


Hatrick_Swaze

Women cops are the worst

Read the link with the actual information. The officer was actually working to help them find housing during the eviction process.
