I know some people in here are trying to appear "compassionate," but the simple truth is:
IF YOU INTENTIONALLY SET YOURSELF ON FIRE,
YOU HAVE A MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE!
I'm not sure how I can put that any clearer. This is an emotionally disturbed individual. Whether or not it's a case of TDS, it is a case of mental health issues. Saying otherwise is not being compassionate or enlightened, or anything similar. It is actually being cruel. This man likely was rolling around in his wheelchair without anyone watching him to make sure he didn't hurt himself, probably because to do so would have somehow been denying him his human rights or some such silly stuff. Now he's going to have to also deal with severe burns.
''' Anyone know how bad that hurts?'''
Compassion would be taking care of him to make sure he can't hurt himself in his delusional state. Not making excuses for him.

The article says he was in a mororized wheel chair, so I'm guessing this was about health care.
