I work at the UW and have a view of red square from my office. Someone apparently just lit themselves on fire in red square. We saw lots of white smoke and a large crowd. The fire is out and someone is down. Fire department and ambulance have arrived and are taking the person away. No word on motivation, protest, or anything. Can’t see much but the current webcam pic is here:

Am I the only one singing Disco Inferno?
Well that's not totally fucked up or anything.
Someone is really really angry that UW went Red now aren't they?
Whatever happened to picketing or chanting for protest purposes.
College kids... so damn dramatic and all

Bad mix of Mid-Terms and Halloween. Sigh. UW makes some classes so boring...

Maybe he had planned this for months but did it now becuase the price of gas has finally come down a bit.
The folks are flaming, out of control
It was so entertaining, when the boogie started to explode
Well THAT will be one for the Red Square interesting image capture archives
@7 probably!
UofW also has a live video feed of the Square (broadcasted on HuskyTV internally). Investigators should be able to see it unfold
I'm betting it's someone from the editorial board of the UW Daily.
Have any of you ever seen videos from the Vietnam wear where people who have been napalmed run screaming in agony while they burn?
That type of pain is what this person experienced. I think it is dusgusting that it amuses you. You lack even normal compassion let alone empathy.
Uh, this guy set himself on fire. Hard to feel compassion or empathy for someone who deliberately inflicts that kind of pain on himself.

The story just got stranger:
I read this post and immediately this came to mind.
superwill in seattle @12
you aren't funny. give it up & STFU.
Fuck compassion for someone who deliberately inflicts that on a human being (himself in this case). And the asshole also inflicted the sight of a burnt-up still alive body being hauled away on everyone around.
