Man Sets Himself on Fire at UC Berkeley Campus
A man allegedly experiencing a severe mental health episode set himself on fire at the University of California at Berkeley on Wednesday. The public self-immolation was reported to authorities at 4:17 p.m. after a young man completely engulfed in flames was seen walking at Sproul Plaza on campus. In video circulating on social media, one person is heard repeatedly shouting “Get on the ground” at the burning man, but he does not heed the command and continues wandering around in full view of horrified passersby. The unnamed victim, believed to be in his 20s, suffered second- and third-degree burns over most of his body. A woman in her 40s who attempted to help the man was hospitalized with minor injuries, while another good Samaritan who also tried to render aid was treated for burns at the scene and released. It has been reported that the man was suffering from a mental health episode and was quoted as telling first responders who were trying to save him to “leave him alone.” An eyewitness claimed that the man was shouting "Mormon Mafia" and that he ran from and pushed away those trying to extinguish the flames. |

Re: Man Sets Himself on Fire at UC Berkeley Campus
Ummmm....let me guess. His nickname was either "Sparky" or "Smoky". Or they called him "Char" (short for Charles) 5 corns for the best pun out of this event! Now get cracking! |

Re: Man Sets Himself on Fire at UC Berkeley Campus
Now we just need more liberal retards to follow suit.  That said, I'd love to ask the guy who tossed a bicycle at the burning man, what in the hell was he trying to accomplish?

Re: Man Sets Himself on Fire at UC Berkeley Campus
That guy throwing the bike at him was priceless. Pretty sure I learned in elementary school to smother the fire with a blanket. No mention of metal objects.  |

Re: Man Sets Himself on Fire at UC Berkeley Campus
Oh hell no  Even if I happened to seriously flip, I'm quite sure I'd still never attempt to burn myself to death. I'd be more likely to start eating myself alive or something like that. Bike guy was a great comic relief |
