German man burns car in protest
A German man poured gasoline over his BMW and lit it in protest of outrageous fuel prices. He drove the car onto a lawn near the Frankfurt convention center. He hopped out, poured the gas onto the car, and lit it up.
When the fire department arrived, it was already too late for the car.
The man, unemployed, claimed he couldn’t afford to drive any longer. He has yet to be charged with a crime, though. Gas prices continue to rise all over the world. A litre in Germany is about 1.55, or around $9.40 per gallon.
Makes you almost happy to pay between $4 and $5 a gallon, doesn’t it? Well, we said almost.
