God damn, this is brutal. I watched it and it gave me absolute chills. The world won’t forget this man’s bravery and sacrifice, even if the media doesn’t cover it.

It's nowhere in the news cycles here in Europe. Sadly, maybe we won't forget but the world is already neglecting it. I wish he hadn't done it, we've seen enough death already.
