We saw a few of them during the Viet Nam years. These people feel so strongly against the war, they go to the extreme to prove it. Protest is good. We should speak our minds. However, harming one's body, mind, or emotion is not beneficial.

Why in the world would this be something you want to keep alive. Do you really think this is the thing to do? It's insane, just like the monks did during the Viet-nam war in the middle of the streets in California. Don't you think we have enough sorrow to remind us of this war.!!!

Didn't know this, but he should have known that since he's not a celeb or used the N word, on one will care what he did. Not for very long anyway.

I understand the protest, but damn setting yourself on fire is a bit extreme.
