This is sad. And what a situation for police to be faced with – a man soaked in gasoline inside a van (curiously, it was rented), threatening to set himself alight – and then following through. No word yet on his condition. Pulse24 TV has the video available. For the life of me, I don’t know why.
Regardless of this madmans motives, you have got to respect the cops and firemen on the scene. As soon as I saw the video of that rented van trying to ram its way closer to the parliament buildings, I thought ‘terrorist car bomb’. I am sure the cops and firemen there thought the same thing.
