SapereAude Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Hilarious. Downtown pdx. Crazy extreme animal rights protestor goes to the front sidewalk outside a fur store. Douses himself, lights himself on fire and tries to run in screaming "they're killing animals! they're killing animals!" ..but alas... he lit himself before checking to see if the store was even open... ..he bounced off the locked door and died I do love a happy ending.

steckSalathe Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) Guy is a hypocrite! Did he not realize that by pulling of that stunt, he was killing an animal!? Edit: or was that the point? I have absolutely no idea. Edited January 28, 2010 by steckSalathe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaroq Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 This guy? http://www.oregonlive.com/news/index.ssf/2..._to_burn_h.html He apparently survived. Damn, that means he can't get a Darwin Award. Maybe if he burned his nuts off, he'll still get a Living Darwin Award. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't die at the scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaroq Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) Oh, okay. Wow, so this is a pretty current event. (I never look at dates on stuff.) I posted a comment on the article I linked you to. I'll cross-post it here. We affiliate him with the fur protesters because he lit himself on fire in front of a fur store. If he were just some random kook who wanted to set himself on fire, he would've done it in some other random place. He picked that spot for a reason. While I am strongly against whatever organization he was from, I can't rightfully blame them for this. The blame lies with the idiot who chose to light himself on fire in the first place. You must understand the kind of mindset these people have. They are anti-human. Animals are more important to them than humans by virtue of their suffering. They're out to sacrifice humans to the animals, and apparently this man was even willing to sacrifice himself. If he would have made a proper value judgment based on capabilities instead of suffering, he'd see that humans are more important. I'm an animal lover, by the way. But I reserve my (animal) love for my dog and for other animals that I find beautiful, such as wolves and certain other canids. I don't make the leap to "I should love all animals equally. If I wouldn't eat a wolf, I shouldn't eat a cow either." Edited January 28, 2010 by Amaroq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
