And the people are just watching??? That is just cruel!! how can people be so heartless???
They always just watch. The tibetan monk self-immolating in KAthmandu a couple of months ago, the police men were just watching, doing nothing. Arms crossed, stationary, just watching, emotionless(ly) it looked like. Makes me sick to my stomach.
Where’s the humanity????
