WEEKLY GROSS-OUT: Even more self-immolation

Two men set themselves on fire in the Tibetan city of Lhasa yesterday, the first in a spate of self- immolations in recent months to occur inside the regional capital. One man died of his injuries after police put out the flames “in two minutes” and took both of them to the hospital. The self-immolations occurred as large crowds of pilgrims gathered in Lhasa to celebrate the anniversary of Buddha’s birth. Chinese officials have stepped up security in areas populated by Tibetans as monks and their supporters have engaged in self-immolation to protest government policies in the region. There should be protests against those commie weirdos but I wouldn't go for anything that dramatic. This form of protest is violating their own doctrines against self-harm and they shouldn't be doing it. Setting yourself on fire is just stupid, and even though those who die won't have to live through any more oppression, they won't be around to see the day when the communist reign of terror eventually ends.
