Pastor Burns Himself on a Bridge
I found an interesting website while looking for something else, as usual. Found this. I think the photo looks very artistic for a man supposedly having set himself on fire. See what you think. Hell As Pastor Burns Himself On A Bridge In Warri Delta State July 21, 2012 at 11:00pm According to eye-witnesses, the pastor drove himself to the spot with a keg of petrol, showered himself with the fuel and then switch on a lighter. He was battling with a family problem which he had no idea how to take control of or solve and since he had lost all hopes, he felt their was no reason why he should continue to keep his soul locked in his body and so he set it free in the most insane way ever. So so sad. A cleric, whose name was given as Obaleme, committed suicide in Warri, Delta State, on Wednesday by setting himself on fire. It was gathered that Obaleme, who had recently complained of family problems, stopped his car on Udu Bridge in Warri, grabbed a can of fuel and dashed under the bridge. Eyewitnesses say he then doused himself with the fuel and set himself ablaze. Before onlookers could sufficiently quench the fire, the pastor died. When contacted, Charles Muka, the state’s police spokesperson, said he was yet to be briefed on the incident.  · |

Re: Pastor Burns Himself on a Bridge
It's a work made by Ulrich Lamsfuß, Stefan Jellheden - Oil on canvas, 2004. The 1963 photograph should be this one:  I don't know if the story is real, it's reported on several websites though http://www.freshangleng.com/news/299..._self_to_death |

Re: Pastor Burns Himself on a Bridge
In fact, even the above is nowhere near the actual image of the self immolation of Thich Quang Duc, a monk who protested against the persecution of Buddhists in Vietnam. I cannot believe you guys have not seen these images or the subsequent art ????

Re: Pastor Burns Himself on a Bridge
You guys are great! Thanks, gata! He has some hairy legs! Like the shoes as does Fletch, lol! I do remember seeing the monk, but, it's usually a closer shot of him. |

Re: Pastor Burns Himself on a Bridge
His squat form is somewhat lacking. His legs were almost parallel to the ground, but his back is rounded whereas it should be straight. 6/10 |
