Something about journalistic objectivism, right. .... ?
the guy on fire was making a political statement.... by choice.
the journalist had no choice but to get his camera... a bucket of water would have surely put him in a very non-ethical position.
interesting stuff, eh? save a life? let him die? don't interfere? do your duty and capture the event on film.... (which is really what the guy wanted, isn't it? I mean, you don't light yourself on fire for fun.. you do it as a last resort to bring publicity to your cause)...
does it come down to our personal need to save the life (out of guilt, or doing what we believe is right) vs that mans need to give his life to further his cause ?
What about journalistic objectivity?
This is one of the most disturbing images I've ever experienced at the cellar.
