WASHINGTON –  A man who reportedly poured a can of gasoline on his head before setting himself on fire Friday in the middle of Washington's National Mall was airlifted to a hospital with life-threatening injuries.

The man, who was not immediately identified, was alone at the time and police and fire officials said they had no information about his motive. A Park Police spokeswoman said she had no information about him saying anything or displaying any signs before setting himself alight.



I wonder if it has anything to do with Obamacare.

Seems to be a lot of crazy people coming out of the woodwork under this shit worthless administration.

Gee, ya think?

Unless, of course, the Regime got to Mr. Constantino's family and "encouraged" them to say this. In reality, John was someone who'd been RIF'ed because of that horrible BOOOOOOsh economy (5 years after BOOOOOOOOOOsh stopped having an impact on the economy) and he just discovered that his Obamacare bill was going to be $12,000more than his worst insurance bill while he was employed.

With this Regime, unfortunately you cannot discount this possibility.

New Jersey is a blue state utopia, ain't it? ....with high taxes and gun laws, right? So, why would someone from there want to die such a horrible death?

He could buy a gun in Jersey, but he could still afford a gallon of gas.
