In 1991 or so, my friend Greg did that to protest the first Gulf War.

Since nobody asked yet, did anybody from IRAQ send flowers?

Now that’s a cure for depression!

Didn't say if he died. If he "survived" everything would need repeated pig skin grafts over and over for years and years. Even Inside his throat, sinuses, and lungs. I hope he didn't get behind on his COBRA premiums after loosing his job...

I bet once he caught fire he wasn’t depressed anymore and wanted to live again. Oh well

I bet he feels better now.

My youngest son nearly died in a fire, this is very personal to me. At the same time though, if you do it to yourself on purpose, I feel no empathy towards your plight.

Set myself on fire so I slowly choke to death and get to feel my whole body burn up? Fuck yeh

I agree with this. Who in their right mind would do this?

That guy didn't just find the nearest gas station, no, I see some kind of accelerant mixed with an oxidizer. Meaning, he sort of knew what he was doing, and knew how to do it.
