Disturbed man disturbs peace twice

A disturbed korean man in Seoul was arressted for disturbing the peace when he loudly demanded a new number from the sales kiosk. This was in 2004.

Yesterday, the courts fined the man a measly $300 and let him go. Apparently distraught that his angry raging limited a lower penalty than his court fees, the man left the court room, doused himself in heating oil, came back in, and set himself on fire.

The man is in critical condition after suffering third degree burns on most of his body, though no one else was hurt. No word yet on whether he'll be charged and fined again, or whether the judge is related to the highly successful korean-american pool player, Jeanette Lee.

It's a sad, sad world. Just yesterday, I burned my hand removing a hot baking dish from the oven. It's a tiny little burn, but it hurt quite a bit. I can't even imagine being lit on fire....

If he's from Korea then he is probably not a Christian, so that fire is just a fortaste of what is to come!

I mean, who says things like that?
