The capital went through a lock down this Saturday for many hours. A man commited suicide by shooting himself nearby, he had been carrying a protest sign advocating for "social justice", there were people who witnessed the suicide. During the lockdown many streets were closed down and buildings as well. The lock down was lifted at 1:00 pm after the man had fatally shot himself.
I wonder if commiting suicide in this manner was the original intention for this man or if he had planned something bigger, either way there is no doubt that he was trying to make himself heard and believed in a cause, which i think this is an incident the capital should take into deep consideration.
