Daniel Victor Jones (April 15, 1958 – April 30, 1998)
was an American man who committed suicide on a Los Angeles freeway in 1998. The incident was broadcast on live television by news helicopters. Jones committed suicide as a form of protest towards health maintenance organizations after he had been diagnosed as HIV-positive several months earlier.
By the end of April 1998, Jones believed he was going to die and so he decided to take his own life in a way that would draw publicity to his situation. He believed it was no one's fault other than his own for getting himself into his situation. Jones would later be quoted as saying, "I'm not happy with what's happening to my situation and I'm going to draw attention to it whichever way I can. My paramount goal is for no one other than myself to get hurt."

That part is such bs. I could get not wanting your dog to suffer in it's final years (like being afraid no one would take it in, you could have abusive people around you who would abuse the dog, etc, etc) but burning it alive? Do you have no fucking soul? If you gotta kill it with you at least use the fucking shotgun you had IN the truck already!

Shells are expensive, but gas is also expensive.
