From DU- MSNBC is reporting that a man lit himself on fire in front of one of the White House gates. The secret service managed to put it out before the man died, but apparently about 30% of his body was burned.
Apparently (I wasn't alive then) this happened back in Vietnam too, with buddhists. It's really incredibly sad that this man felt like he had no other options.
The freepers, of course, find this hilarious. They really disgust me. Only go over if you want to be offended.
