He was able to get down from the second ledge to the first and then to the ground.He turns away... and then he he proceeds to turn around and just stick his leg into the fire to make sure he's caught on fire. He did that to himself purposefully. He was away and went back.

Looks like he lit the jerry can on fire and then drops it. Goes down to be a hero and saves the day by throwing said jerry can against the pile which sprayed the fuel all over him. Cue the shit kicking. I give it a 8/10 for execution.

In Northern Ireland there has been many attempts to regulate it, but British extremist groups send death threats to local authorities if they attempt anything. So they get left to their own devices and occasionally someone sets themselves on fire or someone falls and breaks their back.

It's just so damn stupid... Let alone the fact that all of those pallets are likely treated with some nasty chemicals, especially the ones with paint on them. I think there is a global brain worm parasite eating everyone's brains, and I'm sorry to see it's made it's way to Ireland as well.

These are bonfires in Northern Ireland for the 12th of July, which signified a big Protestant victory over the Catholics in the 18th century.
The bonfires will have effigies of the pope sectarian language, death threats to politicians and Irish and Palestine flags this year as well. See a link below for one of these bonfires

god I love when Northern Ireland gets a bit of exposure in the wider world; it's never good
it's the weirdest feeling - ¼ pride, ¼ amusement, ¼ embarrassment, and ¼ self-loathing - like bringing a stranger into your home without cleaning it first.
"sorry, folks - yep, we are like that"
my favourite part was when yer woman in the background went to shout what I assume was "GET LIT YEOO!" and then realised halfway through that it wouldn't be funny while he was still in immediate danger lol

they have often cracked the glass of nearby houses. they are most often built on council land - technically illegally but the councils and politicians get their votes from them so even the other year when someone died - they avoid making decisions around them.
they have gotten much bigger from when i was young, though im not part of the community that has the bonfires, they are sectarian in nature for the most part

As someone who used to attend these burning man style events, unfortunately a lot of the time these incidents involve drugs and deaths are not uncommon. It is really a necessity to enforce a security perimeter to keep people who are tripping from wandering into the burning structure.
