Self immolation on the Mall in D.C.

There was a report of someone with a tripod--making a video of the incident, perhaps. We may hear more about this.

Oh, God. Making a video of it? Now, that's just sick.

Like the famous frame by frame depiction from Time magazine of the Buddhist monk setting himself on fire?

Ummm....sort of.

If your best friend called you and said, "Meet me at the mall, I'm going to set myself on fire.". Would your reaction be; "Cool! Hold on, let me get my camera shit ready!"

See what I'm sayin'?

Maybe I'm missing something, but I took it that someone had set up a tripod in anticipation of the event.
