Man who died from horrific burns on National Mall saluted Capitol before setting himself alight

Bee's note: 

Something is happening in America and it isn't pleasant!
The little tiny Tyrant in the White House is not use to Americans pushing back and saying "Enough"!  Using federal agencies to punish Americans before, after and during a shutdown is causing more grief among the citizens of the United States can bare - all because Barry HUSSEIN Obama is having a temper tantrum because he is not getting his way.  Please notice the number of shutdowns listed above, under previous presidents, and never in history have any of them deliberately attempted to cause more suffering among the American citizens.  As a matter of fact, I lived through all of them, worked and took care of my family, and hardly noticed a shutdown!  This time, it's different, because America has an immature, anti-American, anti-military usurper in the White House.
Within 24 hours, two horrific events happened in Washington, D.C.: a young mother shot to death by Washington DC police, after she supposedly rammed her car into a barricade (not worth killing her over!); and a man saluting the Capital just before setting himself ablaze!
According to news reports, neither incident is blamed on the shutdown.  I beg to differ!
The man who gave a military salute before committing suicide in front of the Capital building was speaking loud and clear - are we so stupid not to hear him?
The young woman killed had a dental career, starting a new job, had a loving family and no history of mental issues - but, to excuse her murder, the reports say she was "depressed", etc.  All further reports and investigation into her murder in broad daylight are suppressed by the media.  Her death is cloaked in mystery.
These two horrific deaths are not the type of stories Obama wants to hear. 
No, this vindictive man who wants to make the shutdown as painful as possible will never admit that for many Americans, his actions have reached a peak - a last straw - and his hatefulness towards America's WWII veterans has not gone unnoticed.  He can't blame the former President Bush, or the GOP, or the Tea Party members for striking out to hurt America.  No, this one is built by Obama.  
My guess is the man who died by setting fire to himself was probably a veteran.  His military salute was his way of saying "goodbye" to America and "hello" to Barry's "transformation" to something ugly.

Dangerous: The man in question was not identified and his motivation remains a mystery, though the very public nature of the incident hints that it could have been in protest to the government shutdown

Tourist captured the moment a man saluted the Capitol before deciding to set himself alight on Washington’s National Mall on Friday.

Javier Soto was visiting the tourist hotspots with his camera snapping shots of the Smithsonian, the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. Then he went to see the Thomas Jefferson Memorial and the White House.

Finally, returning to the National Mall and, just before 4:30 p.m., he aimed his camera east, toward the Capitol and saw a man pouring gasoline over his body from a canister.

Mr Soto says the man gave the Capitol building  a crisp military salute, before igniting the fuel with a lighter

Clean up: Officials responded to the scene in minutes but apparently it was bystanders who were the first to help by taking off their shirts and trying to put the flames out themselves

The incident took place near the Air and Space Museum and although his motive is not known the chosen location hints that it was a demonstration. 
The Mall is a national park, making it one of the hundreds of such sites across the country that have been closed as a result of the government shutdown. 
U.S. Park Police sources told MailOnline that the shutdown didn't play into the rescue.
There is no indication that the government shutdown impacted the way anyone responded to this. DC Fire/EMS had people on the scene in, literally, three minutes, and a helicopter transport was there minutes later,' the source told MailOnline.
'We are the lead agency in this investigation, but it will be awhile before we give out details to anyone.'
The incident comes one day after a woman was killed by police after she rammed her car into a barricade leading to the White House.
