They just opened the area in front of the White House again in the last week, so today some guy set his belongings on fire there.

Wow.
How stupid do you have to be to fail at being a suicide bomber?

Is that, like, performance art?

Reuters and the AP have VERY different stories about this, unless two men have lit themselves or there things on fire at the White House recently.

While stories are confused as to whether the person set their belognings on fire or set themselves on fire, are you familiar with the history of immolation as a form of protest?

It's not exactly new.

Ten bucks says the worse story is correct.

Sure I know about that. I'm just morbidly amused by the timing of it. (Not really amused, though, because ew.)

People can be real idiots sometimes.
