Man Dies After Live-Streaming Self-Immolation Outside of Ex’s Bar

There are a lot less painful ways to suicide than setting yourself on fire with a petroleum distillate.

Drug overdose is probably the easiest. That's how Marilyn Monroe chose to go. (Most of you all don't remember her -- that was a big deal back in the early 1960's.)
 
Started in the 50s. Reagan put the final nail in the coffin and now there is nothing.

I think that needs to be balanced with the fact that in those days people could be institutionalized for life with few rights or appeals or, in some cases, even a real mental illness. Acting out as a child could earn you a lobotamy.

That was over fifty years ago. It was about shifting them back into local areas rather than have it taken care of by the state.

There is merit in shifting a portion back into local areas instead of large scale institutions, but in many cases, the states never funded it, they just shifted the money elsewhere. There are some people that need to be institutionalized. There are many however, who can function well in a semi-independent setting that is not an institution. The trick is balancing rights with needs and safety. And, providing money to support it.

And that hasn't happened yet and they have been saying this since the 50s. There is no money in it. Meanwhile we have a lot of mentally ill people that need this desperately.

Yes, there is no money in it. It takes a mass killing to kick the public's attention towards mental illness and even then it's hit or miss. There are no cute mental illness poster kids. What do you propose?
The mass killing by the 15 Saudi's of the 2,996 people in NYC and DC deserved a lot of attention.
 
Jared McLemore's Facebook Live video starts with him sitting cross legged in the parking lot outside Murphy's bar in Memphis, Tennessee. McLemore gets up after shortly leaving the frame and then returns to once again sit cross legged on the ground. He lifts a red jerry can and starts pouring a liquid—kerosene—on himself. The kerosene splashes around him as he shimmies over slightly.

A man, realizing what McLemore was about to do, flies into the frame in an attempt to kick the lighter out of his hand. His efforts are to no avail, the lighter goes off and the video becomes filled with flames and the screams of onlookers. McLemore, screaming, gets up and runs out of the frame. On camera, the flames from the excess kerosene continue to burn.

McLemore, 33, would die later that night from his burns.

While burning, McLemore allegedly ran into Murphy's where his ex Alyssa Moore, an audio engineer, was running the soundboard. According to WREG, McLemore had reportedly strangled Moore last year and twice threatened to kill her. McLemore was sentenced to probation for domestic assault and ordered to do mental health therapy—Moore also obtained a restraining order against him. On social media, McLemore stated he suffered from bipolar disorder.

I hope they keep the live streaming up because it's the only way folks are going to really see the mental health issue.
This is called self destructiveness.

The suicidal one was trying to make the estranged spouse/lover feel guilt.

This is a form of very passive passive-aggressiveness.

Could have been worse.

If they had had kids together the suicidal one could have harmed them.

Darwin's law instead has taken over.

Love as we call it in English (physical and emotional attraction) is a battlefield, just like Pat Benatar said/sang.

This is a guy that was court ordered to have a mental health assessment. He had a restraining order.

That's not my field of expertise, for sure. At least there could be state mental hospitals with a few outpatient programs. Also some inpatient ones. ;)
 
For-profit medicine has gone about as far as it can.

Prozac and Valium are two of their most popular products.

It's main clients are the rich and their sick kids.

If these don't work then I guess kerosene will have to do.

Part of the problem is in the laws. It's extremely hard to forceably commit an adult unless he is a danger to himself or others, and that definition is very restrictive.

Do you like paying taxes?

Do you want to pay more?

These kids are born fokked up. I know one or two of them from the neighborhood.

People paid more in the past when we had a mental health system because? Owait, nobody did.

You fail.

They shift those mass killings right over to another issue---gun control. Bring it back under state control.

Yet another instance of you not doing your job.

This has NOTHING to do with politics yet here you are posting rather than moving the thread.

Gun control is back to being a state issue now that there is no Clinton in The White House anymore.

BH Obama flirted with ammo control for a while, but he is gone by term limits now too. Thank goodness for term limits.

It always takes at least one suicide attempt to get committed, at least for a little while.

In this case Kerosene Boy pulled the first one off successfully.

Disir my dear friend if you were trying to allude that more tax dollars should somehow be spent on the mentally sick and afflicted then you are forgetting that the Feds are already taxing everyone to the gills (human feti -- plural of fetus -- have gill slits) already.

And the Fed's are wasting it on a plethora of frivolous projects from dairy subsidies to foreign aid already.

It's not like the USA ever balanced a budget (since Andrew Jackson anyway).
