MABB v6.6.6

Only for the brave

What's the story on this one?

This is Mohamed Bouazizi protesting corruption and starting the Arab Spring.
 
Tunesia was in the news, a group of politicians won the Nobel peace prize. I thought these self-immolation guys deserve some respect. No bigger honour than a MABB thread.

 
Here is Jan Palach after the end of the 1968 Prague Spring. The Czechoslovakians had something nice in mind but were stopped by the Warsaw Pact combined army

self immolation crying out!

that has got to be one of the worst ways to die... takes a lot of courage to do something like that.

I would imagine the fact of bringing a match close to oneself doused in gasoline isn't as immediately intimidating as jumping off of a height or pulling a trigger. I bet the first 2 seconds when the "oh shit I'm on fire" kicks in must be the worst.
