#4 Is this CancunMexico?
If so that explains a lot.
Cancun,Mexico is a tourist(party town)especially with college kids on spring break.Gets them away from stifling U.S.underage drinking laws.

#6 Saw this on Fox yesterday, he had a small (8-10") stake that he rammed into his chest - but you couldn't really tell what the hell he had at first, and no mention of the death....

to quote Otter from Animal House:
"This case, I think we have to go all out! I think this
situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture,
be done on somebody's part! And we're just the guys to do it!"

#7 Little notice from BBC becauase the BBC wants to portray the protesters as common people,just like us.A protester killing himself with a stake is too reminescent of Palestinian suicide bombers and not something normal people do.If it don't fit,don't cover it.
AS for why he staked himself,anyone consider the possibility while prepping for the trip,he saw that bad Bon Jovi Mexican vampire movie once too often?
