I am totally rattled. A young man poured gasoline all over himself and used a lighter to set himself on fire - in front of two of my co-workers. I feel so sad that someone so young should feel so desperate. I can't imagine the pain my co-workers are in.
One of them was involved in running down a robber last week. He came back to the office with bloody fists and a tale of stopping a break in at a jewelry store.
SHIT! I left NYC to get away from this crap.
Rant over. I pity the young man's mother tonight. He is just 24 years old. I pray for the best outcome for all concerned.
