I'm from a different time, I can see, and it is disheartening how people lack empathy and compassion.

I don't care what your politics are, in my time if we saw someone do this, we would not hesitate to rush over, use our jackets or shirts and try to extinguish this asap, knowing this person was obviously under mental duress, to harm himself like this.

This lady just sitting there watching, and others - maybe even taking the phone out - makes me sad. And the comments ... this is who we have become? It's psychopathic.
