fuck man, this is so tragic. poor bloke must have been desperate to do something like that. solidarity with tibet and all but this is heartbreaking.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-03T04:31:28.000Z

exactly. whether he was right or wrong, no one should go through that alone. feel for his mates rn.

Tom Harris2026-07-03T04:23:28.000Z

bloody hell, not another one. these protest methods are just sad. doesn't achieve anything except a headline.

Tom Harris2026-07-03T04:37:28.000Z

get off your high horse. i care about tibet, but self-immolation isn't winning hearts. it's just horrific.

Isla Cooper2026-07-03T04:36:28.000Z

china needs to answer for what they're doing in tibet. this is what happens when the world ignores human rights abuses.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-03T04:46:28.000Z

you wouldn't say that if you knew anything about tibetan protests. sometimes people feel they have no other voice.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-03T05:08:28.000Z

it's 5pm already and i see this. terrible news. hope he found peace. thoughts with his family tonight.

Isla Cooper2026-07-03T05:53:28.000Z

nah mate, ignoring the cause is how they get away with it. you sound like a china apologist.

Ella Thompson2026-07-03T05:37:28.000Z

everyone arguing about politics and missing the point. a human being died in agony. have some respect.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-03T05:49:28.000Z

facts. political points later, tonight just grieve. 🤷

Jack Morrison2026-07-03T06:03:28.000Z

ffs, the nypd couldn't even confirm the motive but some activist groups already claiming him. leave the dead alone.

Grace Patel2026-07-03T06:12:28.000Z

can we trust the police on this? they love protecting their mates in china. wouldn't surprise me if they're covering something up.

Ella Thompson2026-07-03T06:46:28.000Z

scepticism is fair but don't jump to conclusions. let the investigation happen. either way, tragic day.

Rowan Blake2026-07-03T06:27:28.000Z

tibet is real. the suffering is real. but this method just alienates people. we need to talk about actual solutions.

Luca Reid2026-07-03T06:36:28.000Z

rip mate. no one should feel that alone. reach out if you're struggling.

Luca Reid2026-07-03T07:24:28.000Z

yeah, the mental health angle needs more attention. despair like that is a tragedy in itself.
