As I understand it, he survived. It'll be interesting to hear what that was all about.

A wacko sets himself on fire, and this becomes a topic of political discussion?
I'll say one thing. The poor, dumb bastard ain't the only squirrel in the tree.

He turned to face the Capitol Building........Hmmmmmmm....
Last I heard, he hadn't expired. I can't help but wonder what in the hell was going through his mind.

Didyk said one of the men told her the man had "saluted the Capitol and then lit himself on fire."

He's since died. Probably a veteran.

Yeah, the thought that he might have been a veteran crossed my mind as well. I could hypothesize on that and his reason for torching himself, but I'll abstain for now. Maybe a suicide note will surface soon?
At any rate, it's a sad thing.

Horrible way to go. Hard to tell what he was thinking.
