I read that the police were extinguishing the guy who set himself on fire yesterday only two minutes after it began. Obviously, the guy did not want to live. Putting out the fire so quickly does not ease his suffering and would only increase it if he were to live. As long as nothing else is at risk of catching fire perhaps it would be best to stay away. What do you think?
IMO if they didn’t want to risk living with the pain of that, they should try to kill themselves in some other, more reliable way. Self immolation isn’t just about suicide, it’s about using your suicide to send a political message, which I personally think is an incredibly selfish, stupid, and dangerous thing to do. People doing something like that don’t deserve to have their wishes respected. They are sick, they are creating a situation that is dangerous to the physical and mental health of the people around them, and they need to be stopped.
All rules go out the window when you’re on fire…
