If you had told the average person that an anarchist or an airman had set himself on fire to protest Israel’s campaign against Islamic terrorists, you would get two very different reactions.
Unsurprisingly the media led with the data point most likely to produce a favorable reaction. And Aaron Bushnell cynically played the same game, wearing (the wrong) uniform to his Hamas suicide attempt rather than the Antifa red in which he had been previously photographed.
The Washington Post gets around to admitting that Bushnell was an “anarchist”.
Less than two weeks before Aaron Bushnell walked toward the gates of the Israeli Embassy on Sunday, he and a friend talked by phone about their shared identities as anarchists and what kinds of risks and sacrifices were needed to be effective…
Lupe Barboza, 32, said she met Bushnell in San Antonio in 2022 at an event for a socialist organization. She said they bonded over their politics …
“He was outraged, and he knew that no one who is in charge is listening to the protesters out there every week,” Barboza said. “He knows that he has privilege as a White man and a member of the military.”
But the Washington Post then misleadingly suggests he was raised in a Christian cult.
Bushnell was raised in a religious compound in Orleans, Mass., on Cape Cod, according to Susan Wilkins, 59, who said she was a member of the group from 1970 to 2005. She said that she knew Bushnell and his family on the compound and that he was still a member when she left in 2005. Wilkins said she heard through members of Bushnell’s family that he eventually left the group.
The group, called the Community of Jesus....SNIP>>>

Poor stupid sucker....that has to be the worst way to go.
Now it makes sense.
Also shows how the military may not come to our rescue as we once safely took for granted.
A high strung red-head, you never know what they will do.
As I said elsewhere, it’s lucky for us he didn’t choose to take off on a bombing run over his imagined enemies and refuse to listen to commands over the radio to come back.
The military, as well as the world, is a better place without him.
And the military is looking for extremists I. Their ranks and could not find this guy. Oh, that’s right only conservatives are extremists.
My gaydar was pinned too.
Being an Antifa member did not come up on their background check? Oh, that’s right. Traitor Christopher Wray does not consider them terrorists. Duh.
He was a member of the cult Community of Jesus, which has as little to do with Jesus as Planned Parenthood has with parenting.
Indeed.
He was, not to worry.
He didn’t just hold a regular clearance....cyber geek in a intel organization...held a TS, which means a complete review of background. So the cult didn’t come up on their radar. He left the cult in 2019...enlisted in 2020.
I sat and thought about the normal questions (I’ve been through the clearance stuff on several occasions). I don’t recall a single question on religious affiliation or asking if I were a cult member. They were always hyper about your debt, financial situation, personal relationships, memberships....not religion.
ANTIFA cult?
A human torch?
At least he provided the world with a spark of light rather than antifa fascistic darkness.
Who converted him?(sarc.)
Anyone else see a problem with our military, or any military for that matter, having an anarchist in its ranks? That just seems like asking for trouble by definition.
“A former leftist cult member who hooked up with anarchist and socialist groups and then killed himself for their approval.”
Have they approved?
ANTI-FA
BKMK
He was a fire looking for a cause
