Kinda Bad When You Self-Immolate as a Form of Political Statement and No One Knows What the Statement is

A guy stunned media and spectators outside of the Trump trial after he set himself on fire.

A man rushed over with a fire extinguisher after shocking footage showed the man, who has not been identified, writhing on the ground as flames devoured him.

As the horrific events transpired, many networks carried live accounts of the situation.

It was called a “political protest,” but no one could say for sure which side he was on.

The guy allegedly threw around political fliers of Trump and Biden before dousing himself with gasoline and lighting himself on fire.

Dozens of police officers hurried over after a short while in an attempt to put out the fire.

They hurriedly rushed the guy into an ambulance, seemingly alive.

  4. Ya know… The lefties are really starting to change my mind with this self-immolation thing. I recommend more of them do so to win more people over to their side of thinking. In fact, I think a mass self-immolation with thousands of lefties at once dousing themselves in gasoline and dropping a match would be an absolute genius move on their part to finally move people like me over to their side of things.

  9. The two rules for self immolation protests

    1) Make sure they know why you set yourself on fire

    2) Make sure you dont survive it .. cause that would be a fate worse than death

  20. What’s needed here is some intersectionality! All the coo kids are doing intersectionality!

    Wanna protest the climate emergency? Chain yourselves together in front of an art museum AND LIGHT YOURSELVES ON FIRE!

    Don’t like fascist right-wingers? Get a mob together, crowd into the local county Republican Party HQ parking lot, AND LIGHT YOURSELVES ON FIRE!

    Is your community not doing enough recycling? Massively invade the local landfill AND LIGHT YOURSELVES ON FIRE!

    Don’t worry about making an ash of yourselves. All your pals will admire and be jealous of your TOTAL COMMITMENT TO THE CAUSE!

  22. Boy, they sure went out of their way to associate BurningMan with President Trump by adding his picture in on the banner and the scroll for no reason, didn’t they?

    Even though he wasn’t outside, didn’t see it, and they admit in the article they don’t know if he was for him, against him, or just a Froot Loop…

    …shitty pics BTW, I can take better with my ancient cell phone. But from what I can see his burned skin is likely academic because he probably swallowed some fire, and unless they cut in an emergency cricothyrotomy to bypass it, the swelling in his mouth and throat was probably enough to shut him down and makes it damn hard to pass an ET tube the normal way too unless you can jam it in right quick.

    It’s also pretty cool how clothing sometimes fuses with flesh, especially various types of rubber and synthetics. It makes “peeling your shirt off”, or the fragments thereof, WAY more literal than most folks would prefer…

    …if they did save him, though, he’s got a very painful future of having dead flesh scrubbed off pink, raw new skin with wire brushes and such ahead of him, as well as a HUGE risk of infections. Lots and lots of infections.

    …although apparently there’s a maggot option now. Good job too, should be pretty easy to find maggots in NYC, both human and not so…

  23. I would not want to be a parent of someone this ill. Quite telling of how far in the past mental health in America is. Someone must have known, or suspected and didn’t know where to turn. I knew someone who tried suicide with a shot-gun and managed to take most of his face and eyes off. Now eats with a syringe and always wears a scarf wrapped around where his face used to be.

    …at least he retained some agency, unlike a guy who wrecks his skeleton jumping from high enough to ram his shins through his knees while breaking his back but not high enough to burst his more important organs, or the guy who cuts his wrist only to find out he has to live with irreversible nerve damage, or the guy who wrecks his car in purpose and wakes to find HE lived, but the family of four he hit on the rebound did not, or the guy who paralyzes himself with a chemical cocktail to where he can’t stop his bowels from running out over the sheets but remains hellishly aware THAT he’s unable to stop his bowels from running out over the sheets, or…

  31. Not kissing up but The Mule gots the right program. Do it orderly, dig a huge long ditch, ten feet deep and seven feet wide. The spoils all neat on one side. Line the people up, two spray men per line, at the edge of the ditch, one lighter man per crew. Walk the immolator up, let them read the manifesto, spray ‘em down with kerosene or barbecue lighter fluid, then set ‘em off, when they can’t stand any more, tip ‘em off into the ditch. Can do tens of thousands of the leftist barsids per day.
