Man Sets Himself on Fire in Protest of Uncle's Incarceration
Agustin Gomez, an 18 year-old indigenous farmer set himself on fire outside the local congress of the southern Mexican state of Chiapas on Friday. He was part of a protest demanding that his uncle Florentino Gomez, jailed since May 1 for his activism as head of the Ricardo Flores Magon Front but charged with cow stealing, be released. In the afternoon the young man poured gasoline on himself, and asked one of his friends to use a lighter on him, “Set me on fire, for the release of my uncle, Florentino!” he was reported to have said. With his chest on fire, the young farmer rolled around and screamed for a while, and friends cried. A couple of minutes later, relatives and rescuers toppled him over and put the fire out with blankets, and took him to the hospital later. Relatives say the farmer is in critical “life or death” condition at Tuxtla’s regional hospital. On Saturday the government freed Florentino Gomez, according to La Jornada. The Mexican paper reported that his current whereabouts are unknown, but that the protesters have withdrawn. |

Re: Man Sets Himself on Fire in Protest of Uncle's Incarceration
For real, what a fucking moron protest or not. WTF is the deal with all these people burning themselves in protest.. Don't they understand that burning to death has to be one of the most shittiest ways to go??? Its funny how all these dumb motherfuckers that light themselves on fire have a instant change of mind once they are ablaze..  |

Re: Man Sets Himself on Fire in Protest of Uncle's Incarceration
Does it actually effect the release of someone in Jail? Here in the States the cops would throw his ass in jail right along with whoever it was in jail to begin with, lol.

Good luck with that stop drop and roll bullshit when you're covered in gasoline.

I like how the guy ran past that hill of sand that could have put him out.
