The dramatic and potentially deadly scene unfolded just after midnight in the parking lot of Taft Furniture, police said. Officers were called to 1960 Central Ave. store by a relative of the man who said the man had just drenched himself in gasoline and was threatening to hurt himself, police said.

Truly tragic that a person would feel the need to take such extreme measures. I hope he is able to heal and live a more peaceful life. |

In parts of the world, "self-immolation" is an extreme form of protest. It has happened here in the USA too, but under different circumstances... When it happens here, it's usually a Conservative cigar smokin... 120 proof drinkin right winger who tries to do both at the same time... |
