@FalasteenRising@DarrenBotelho@NBC10Boston Tell me he has a heart of gold when he actively contributes through acts of service, donations, providing help, feeding the hungry, offering his time to those in need, etc.
ACTS THAT ACTUALLY HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT!
@FalasteenRising@DarrenBotelho@NBC10Boston Sorry but it’s NOT a justification.
He did the immolation without audience (just 3, 4 people around?) without a statement. At first I thought he was a homeless person with mental issues. I figured things out through twitter.
And yes, It’s heartbreaking!
@Hanksingler I started using my Twitter yesterday to try to figure things out. I'm thinking of leaving Twitter behind again. I've learned all this information, and I don’t see a point in keeping up with this topic. I’m DEEPLY SORRY for all the madness happening in those places. 😖🤯😭
@Hanksingler This is my personal Twitter, sir! I'm bilingual, and this happened right outside where I live. Unfortunately, I was outside and saw him just a few steps in front of me 😖. And yes, I'm not from the US.
@UrFriendKelly@foxhxle Thank you, Kelly, for your understanding and empathy. I cried this morning, and it felt so good after being in shock and not being able to cry it out. I’m feeling better now. Still trying to channel this PTDS in the best way.
@ellocust @Commenting_FAST Oh, I wonder if he was a firsthand witness of all of that, or just a witness through the streams, internet videos and all of that.
@ellocust @Commenting_FAST@DarrenBotelho@NBC10Boston He didn’t do it right in front of the consulate, he literally looked for spectators, but there weren’t many, just me and my friend, maybe 3 other people around. We were at a bit of a distance from the consulate!!!! He wanted an audience, which is disturbing.
@ellocust @Commenting_FAST He's speaking facts. What state of mind do you need to be in to literally stand there and endure the suffering of being consumed by fire? Let me tell you something else, that street is EMPTY at 8pm.
@DarrenBotelho@NBC10Boston I'm speaking from my extremely traumatic experience. Witnessing such a violent and disturbing event can lead to emotional and psychological responses. 😖🤯
Thank God my child wasn’t with me when this happened.
@DarrenBotelho@NBC10Boston I was a firsthand witness. 😖🤯 It was awful to see him on fire, not fighting against the flames or screaming for help. He was just enduring the pain!Does anyone know why he did this to himself?
I think I have some post traumatic stress
@ellocust @DarrenBotelho@NBC10Boston Listen, I'm not supporting any party. I'm not supporting violence, and I'm not supporting any cruel attempts.
I didn’t understand why he did that to himself until this morning, when I learned his act was an extreme protest.
Do not do this kind of assumption about me.
@samhusseini @ellocust @DarrenBotelho@NBC10Boston Are you a relative of his? Yes I know which hospital he is in.
Absolutely not. I was in shock, and I called 911. I would never think of taking pictures or videos of such a disturbing experience.
