    Maybe people are understandably uncomfortable with self immolation? Nobody has ever liked an effective activist in their time. The civil rights protesters in USA had a <25% approval rate in the 60s.

    I think this person did what he thought was right, and I will remember him for that. And peace can’t come soon enough.

      I fully agree. I have mad respect for him, which is why I expressed my admiration and support.
