BREAKING: Man Self-Immolates Outside Trump Trial in Manhattan
Redstate ^ | 4/19/24 | Brittany Sheehan

Warning: Disturbing video:

A horrific scene occurred on Friday outside the Manhattan courthouse where the trial of former President Donald Trump is underway. A man doused himself with a flammable liquid before setting himself on fire near the courtroom on day four of the criminal trial, just moments after a full jury of 12 was impaneled. The video captures distressing images of a man twitching on the ground while engulfed in flames.

Another individual rushed in with a fire extinguisher to help, as law enforcement stripped off their jackets and took other measures in an effort to extinguish the flames.

Once the flames were extinguished, emergency crews rushed the man away in an ambulance. The NYPD is investigating the incident.

Nobody cares.

Same with the self-immolating monks during Vietnam.

Something everyone is missing. The left is all over social media saying he is MAGA.

Let this run about a minute until you see “ TRUMP supporters extinguish flames”

MAGA people were being assaulted by leftists. One MAGA man said the lefties had been
“ bullying” this fire guy for an hour.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Palach

Jan Palach (11 August 1948 – 19 January 1969) was a Czech student of history and political economics at Charles University in Prague. His self-immolation was a political protest against the end of the Prague Spring resulting from the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Warsaw Pact armies.

the guy wasn’t a Trump guy he listed Trump among the presidents that he said were puppets.

He was just some psychotic hippie wannabe complaining about Vietnam, The Beatles, Cryptocurrency, Rap and Punk music, and of course “the man”

The dude was so high he probably forgot what decade it was because this guy wasn’t even alive for most of what he was complaining about!

LMAO

Light a protester on fire and he is warm for the rest of his life

“the guy wasn’t a Trump guy he listed Trump among the presidents that he said were puppets.”

I never said he was!

If you bothered to look at it, that’s exactly what is proven by the video..

Is anyone capable of reading or reason around here!??

Adios. You people don’t want to learn zip

Exactly. Mental illness is a tragedy we can blame this on ACLU for insisting that nobody be institutionalized. Long term this incident - while tragic - probably saved tax $$ even after the cleanup costs. And of course we don’t let whack jobs dictate policy.

Terrible, something totally unexpected, obviously I don’t think it’s a way to protest.
I feel sorry for him because no one will benefit from that procedure.

Congratulations to Alvin Bragg, he is probably patting himself on the back for causing an excruciating death.
