There is probably NOTHING that hurts more than BURNS!

“he was upset with the VA”

He’ll be even more upset with their burn treatment unit, now.

I don’t blame him for being upset with the VA, but self-immolation is probably not going to improve things for other vets, and certainly not for himself.

Every time I call the VA hospital, the first part of the recording asks if you are depressed or are having thoughts of suicide. If so, “press one now”.

Some people just make poor choices.

"...He now has burns on 85% to 90% of his body..."


Thank you for your earlier service to our country.
I am sorry your mind convinced you self-immolation was the proper path.
Few people survive burns that are that extensive.

85 - 90% burned ! Prayers done for Him.

They will probably move Him to BAMC in San Antonio when stable enough. As far as I know is still the #1 Burn Treatment Center.

“He was able to tell authorities he was upset with the VA.”

Now he’s probably going to end up spending a lot more time with them.

The VA isn’t run by the state. Surely, he knows it.

He had to be mentally unhinged. Burning yourself alive is the LAST way you’d want to go!

He is really going to regret this...recovery is going to be grisly, excruciating and HUGELY EXPENSIVE - for we Taxpayers.

Grrrr!

“The man was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, where troopers said he was severely burned and injured.”

They severely burned and injured him at a hospital? No wonder he was disgruntled.

This is horrific.
I don’t think that he intended to still be alive. I once burned 10% on my legs to the second degree, (a Hold my beer moment) and it was hellish to recover.

I am praying that this man just gets peace in heaven, after coming to know Jesus.

There is no better “just” than that.

Garnish his VA benefits to pay the huge medical bills he’s running up. (Burns are really expensive).

Obviously a crazy that couldn’t handle his drugs and who should have been institutionalized in a padded cell.
