I think you're omitting an important detail here. He told the police officer (a woman) "should I use your tits for weighting now?" after she confiscated his scale. He got drunk and then went to the police office or municipality and set himself on fire, perhaps out of frustration or humiliation. That's why you don't hear much about him since the first few months of the uprising, and maybe that's why the activists glossed over it.
