I mean, same to you?
You don't like the behavior of security staff who have one very cold, very unfriendly goal: keep the embassy safe. I doubt they have specific training on self immolation so obviously they used standard procedure.
They don't give a fuck about public perception, the feelings of the involved individuals, etc.
Everyone keeps asking " why weren't they this or that or the other thing". There's one root answer weather folks like it or not.
I guess I kept hoping for an actual answer to the question I kept asking, as one might expect during an honest discussion. Don't worry, I've given up now.
The actual answer is truly that these professional security types don't care. They go guns ready for anything that is remotely threatening to the embassy. A dude on fire on the perimeter apparently counts, no matter what we think of that.
