Seems he improperly used a stunt-double flame-retardant suit? He didn't put on the helmet and let the flame burn for too long. I think he was trying to be dramatic rather than kill himself, that was kind of my read on the situation.

Either way, RIP. I guess someone also set themselves on fire at Trump tower too.

It looks like PCP and fake marijuana was involved... bummer wave https://www.tmz.com/2019/05/29/man-arrested-washington-dc-self-immolation-fire-white-house/

Yikes. That fake marijuana stuff can be so bad.

Should've just bought some marijuana instead lol. Also it was probably 95% the PCP. But he did have the wherewithall to buy a flame-retardant suit, take it to the white house along with fuel and a lighter, and then actually do it. Which isn't the type of lucidity people on PCP usually have, according to an ambulance worker I know that has interacted with plenty of people on PCP and has lots of stories. So I wonder if he waited until he got there to take the PCP?

Very strange all around. Either a very frustrated person drugged and pushed to their breaking point, or perhaps some weird FBI/CIA project. Messed up either way. They didn't even have a manifesto or anything either. Just strange.
