[cawacko]

Scary. Two people trying to help got burned themselves. This is right on campus at Cal Berkeley, I spent a lot of time where this took place. Hard to watch and sad.

Did he die? Why did he do it?

I remember Buddhists doing that in Vietnam to protest the war.

I read second and third degree burns and that he lived. Berkeley is obviously a City with a long history of protesting but no motive has been given yet that I’ve seen.

Spend enough time in SF, Oakland and Berkeley and you’ll see pretty much everything that can happen on the streets but this is new. And having a lot of friends that went to Cal this was making the rounds yesterday in text chains.
