Any journalist that does not publish this or completly ignore his reason is lowest propaganda creator alive. I agree that media would have gone mad with this if this was 50 years ago in Vietnam. Media became much more state controlled since. Remembering you is the least I could do noble soldier
That's not it. It's that people set themselves on fire in protest in DC all the time. It's simply not noteworthy. Now, granted, the news loves to take common occurrences and make a big story out of a random one, but I guess setting yourself on fire just isn't cool anymore. There used to be a wiki article that kept a list, but I can't find it now. If I remember correctly it was about once a week or two.

I recommend not reading that. Jesus Christ.
Lol maybe read about this guy that attempted and failed self immolation to protest affirmative action https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajiv_Goswami
I just made the mistake of watching the uncensored video. Don't do that either.
