I wonder why this hasn’t been blamed on the conservatives, or the tea party?

I’m really surprised they haven’t tried to say the man was distraught over the government shutdown, or afraid Obamacare was in jeopardy.

The same could be said about the woman that ran into the barricades.

The same could be said about the woman that ran into the barricades....but didn’t damage the front of her car.

Sounds familiar..... Tarek al-Tayeb Mohamed Bouazizi (Arabic: محمد البوعزيزي‎; 29 March 1984 – 4 January 2011) was a Tunisian street vendor who set himself on fire on 17 December 2010, in protest of the confiscation of his wares and the harassment and humiliation that he reported was inflicted on him by aofficial and her aides. His act became a catalyst for the Tunisian Revolution[2] and the wider Arab Spring.' Wikipedia

Makes you wonder if this guy, who was alive and talking on the lawn but dead soon after also heard the same voices as that woman and the Navy Yard guy.

With tighter gun control and 0bamacare, tragedies like this will cease.

Inventor Barry Soetoro, aka “B. Hussein Obama,” has decreed that his BARRYCADES (Tm) shall be used in outdoor Park, outdoor Monument, and outdoor Mall settings.

However, details have been secretly emerging of past and future plans for Barrycade “investments.”

Construction of larger Barrycades to be used on the US Mexican Border had to be canceled when the income from the Fast and Furious uncontrolled gun control “investment” went the way of all other Obamanation investments.

Potential construction of Barrycades to be placed on Obama’s Red Line in Syria is currently being jointly studied by the US Military, and Nobel Peace Prize Nominee, Vladamir Putin.

Ambassador Dennis Rodman, no relation to Mrs. Bill Clinton, is rumored to be trying to put together a syndicate of his best friends to provide funding for the construction of these Red Line Barrycades.

North Korea spokesmen would not confirm or deny this rumor.

Yep, those were the days, back before The Internet when we didn't know what was really going on. We've got things under control now.

If he went to the trouble of videotaping his opus, you would think he first explained what this was all about. Is he protesting Obamacare?

Thanks Wilderness Conservative.
Officer Araz Alali ...says the man was so badly burned that he will need to be through DNA and dental records. The man poured a can of gasoline on himself in the center portion of the mall Friday afternoon. He then set himself on fire, with passing joggers taking off their shirts to help douse the flames."
