Re: Tibet Monk Self Immolation
From Wikipedia..... "Since 2009, at least 120 Tibetans have self-immolated, more than 40 have died. The Dalai Lama has said he does not encourage the protests, but he has praised the courage of those who engage in self-immolation. The Chinese government, however, claims that he and the exiled Tibetan government is somehow inciting these acts. In 2013, the Dalai Lama questioned the effectiveness of self-immolation as a demonstration tactic. He has also made clear that the Tibetans are acting of their own free will and that he is powerless to influence them to stop carrying out immolation as a form of protest."

Re: Tibet Monk Self Immolation
Seen it before. I don't actually call it 'self immolation' as someone else clearly poured the accelerant all over him and lit him on fire! May well have been at his request, but he sure had assistance!!! |

Re: Tibet Monk Self Immolation
I've seen a lot of self immolation videos and most were assisted. But if you look up the meaning, it doesn't really say you HAVE to do it yourself. It just means you're offering yourself. "the offering of oneself as a sacrifice, especially by burning; such suicidal action in the name of a cause or strongly held belief." |

Anyone who gives that less of a shit about their life, fuck 'em. I hope he gets to Valhalla and Muhammad, Allah, or BenniHanna goes "NOPE! That's not it! To hell with you, you ungrateful FUCK!"
