Seattle firefighters had to take a man to Harborview Medical Center after he set himself on fire at the University of Washington campus.

Witnesses told authorities that the 61-year-old man was in the middle of Red Square around 1 p.m. when he poured gasoline over himself and set himself on fire, Seattle Fire Department spokeswoman Dana Vander Houwen said.

The man suffered burns over most of his body, she said. His condition was unavailable.

I cannot even begin to understand why anyone would choose this as a way out.

So sad.

Why am I not surprised that a city that plays host to a statue of Vladimir Lenin also has a university that has a common area called Red Square?

What is the building that houses Seattle's government offices called? The Kremlin?

Just a wild guess here but I'll bet this guy watched Barry Obama's "America-Sucks-And-We're-All-Going- To-Die-Palooza" last night.

Red Square

"Red Square" is a section of University of Washington campus that has red brick covering the walk areas around some of the classroom buildings. It is also quite an appropriate name for the University of Washington.

There is another thread where a guy killed himself by jumping off an overpass. He left a note for Obama to help his family.

I didn't watch Obama's Playhouse last night but it appears he has motivated some people to kill themselves. Bummer.

How horrible that he survived. It will likely cost the taxpayers 100s of 100s of dollars to try to save him.

He died.

At first I thought it might be Ty Willingham.
