Man sets himself on fire at National Mall

Man sets himself on fire at National Mall, one witness says his accomplice filmed the entire ordeal: report

Police responded to reports of a self-immolation at the National Mall on Friday. The man was rushed to a local hospital by helicopter after using fuel to set himself ablaze near the National Gallery of Art in the middle of the mall, which remains closed due to the U.S. government shutdown.
Motive? Will he be arrested for going onto forbidden Federal Shutdown property?

#4  What are the odds that this will be a top MSM story?

If this was some Muzzie protestor in Jeruselum it would be front page 24/7. This? 2 line blurb on page B14.

#1  "If it weren't for those Tea Bagger Rethuglikkkans there would have been a trained Federal Employee on hand with a fire extinguisher, CPR skills, a FAIL slip, and a new phone, right there next to him. This injury rest squarely on the shoulders of Rush and Palin and any klan racists who think we should be broadcasting football R&R to our troops instead of training Al-Qaeda. This just in, I'm feeling a tingle."
