TRIGGER WARNING: We have people self immolating because of genocides happening and because people are losing housing. This nation is going down and it's the greed of the capitalists that's the cause.

I'm basically in that elderly gentleman's shoes as far as housing goes. I'm sorry to his family and to him for being pushed into this situation.

Elderly man self-immolates while being evicted.

Housing is a human right.

Shit sucks when people think this is the only solution.

I guess on the upside, the cop didn't shoot him or draw on him while on fire. Baby steps

At that point he'd have been better off tbh

If I ever light myself on fire, I give anyone permission to shoot me. It would be a mercy.
