Onlookers screamed as fire engulfed the man, who had thrown pamphlets in the air before he set himself aflame. A police officer tried to extinguish the flames before the man was taken away in an ambulance.
Not much info at time of posting what prompted the man to do so
It seems disconnected from the report that the pamphlets he tossed around before self-immolating were about grievances against NYU. Not saying it couldn’t be real, I’d just expect a mention of NYU in there somewhere if what he chose to take with him was NYU-related.
Edit: if the thread is longer than that one post I can’t see it because I don’t use my twitter account anymore

All of his various pamphlets, including the NYU one, can be found hyperlinked in the manifesto. It’s definitely him.
