I only went through 1/4 of it and pretty much every sentence sounded fake to me.

Do you think a fake incident would get featured on one of the most prominent news blogs around?

You may be surprised, but some of us actually have a life outside this forum

My argument was about the content of the letter, and the details mentioned there. It was not about the fact someone burned themselves, which is something I don't really care about. You know, roughly 35,000 people died from suicide in 2008; I guess they all had motives for that. One more suicide doesn't impress me at all.

Are you sure you didn't fall for the copypasta fallacy? A lot of "prominent news blogs" simply copy content from other news sources, and do not have any independent reporters. Only independent reports matter, not the total number of news sources who copied the article from somewhere else (including each others).

He was already banned from seeing his children, and on the day he set himself ablaze he was about to be sentenced to jail. Did you actually read anything he wrote?

My dad slapped me when I was younger. I'm glad her never got thrown in jail.

He could've easily burrowed that $3,000 and avoided the jail. He clearly mentioned he's quitting fighting the system.
There're some things very fishy that do not add up. The guy, I'm sure, didn't tell the whole truth.

Let me put this in another perspective:
Your marriage is going terrible, your wife divorces you, the system is against you.
Would you and your children ever justify you setting yourself on fire?
Ultimately, this is not a question about the system or the injustice. This is a question about who you are, your true character. Do you feel that helpless against the system? Would you choose to quit or fight on?
In spite of the tragedy that has happened, I can't possibly agree self-immolation was the best recourse.

Most of the story, however, just looks fishy to me, and it sounds more like a conspiracy plot written by "take our country back" lobbyist than a true story. Note that we're supposed to read the last note of someone who is going to commit a suicide. They're typically much shorter, and much more emotional. This one is kind of essay which looks like it was written by a writer, and used some research. There are some true facts, but there is also false information which is carefully hidden/twisted the way that most people, who are not familiar with justice system, would consider it true. As I said, to me it looks like a careful work of some lobbyist. Think of it, how long would it take you to write a solid 15-page article?

Self-immolation is one of the strongest forms of protest available, because it is such an excruciating death. The guy is basically saying,
"I would rather die from torture than live under your yoke."
If Tom Ball had any sons, they will grow up to be proud of their old man.
