The man who set himself on fire outside former president Donald Trump's Manhattan trial has been named as Florida native resident Maxwell Crosby Azzarello.
Azzarello, 37, is in critical condition after setting himself on fire on Friday as horrified witnesses and CNN cameras watched.
He described himself as an investigative researcher in a blog post published just hours before he self-immolated.
Azzarello dropped fliers that included a link to a Substack post explaining his actions before he ignited himself.
The blog was titled: 'I have set myself on fire outside the Trump Trial.'
The conspiracy theorist claimed on the blog post that his 'extreme act of protest' was to draw light to what he called a 'totalitarian con.'
He wrote the government was 'about to hit us with an apocalyptic fascist world coup.'
Azzarello added: 'To my friends and family, witnesses and first responders, I deeply apologize for inflicting this pain upon you. But I assure you it is a drop in the bucket compared to what our government intends to inflict.'
Azarello travelled to New York City a week ago, saying on his Instagram he would be staying at Washington Square Park.
On his LinkedIn profile, where he seemingly appears in a photo with Bill Clinton, Azzarello wrote: 'We've got a secret fascism problem.'
His profile claims he has been self-employed since March of 2023.

Sounds like a sensible man.
He may be right........................
Not much of a loss.
He lived. He’s in the hospital in critical condition.
Sensible men do not set themselves on fire. But he’s not necessarily wrong about a worldwide coup.
I bet he wishes he were dead. That’s going to be horrible to survive.
+1
The CCP Coup Flu was the beta version.
We have all been fascists since at least the 1930s. The fascist “third way” has long since been the default economic system in all countries.
The US was probably more fascist in the 1950s than ever since.
I doubt he will survive. If he does, he will likely wish he didn’t.
I regretfully watched the last idiot’s immolation video, I won’t watch another one.
Yeah, not so far fetched, is it?
A schizophreniac having a psychotic episode.
Nothing to see here, move along folks.
I bet he wishes he were dead. That’s going to be horrible to survive.

I doubt he will survive, if he suffered 3rd degree burns over large parts of his body. They will probably have to induce coma to spare him from the constant trauma.
Self employed (probably because he wasn’t employable) Writing sub-stacks about conspiracies. It all screams of mental illness, even if it’s temporary, but I hate saying that because It sounds like the media would accuse anyone of being if they don’t like their message.
If Trump was apart of a fascist conspiracy, the globalists and the deep state sure as hell did a great job making him look like they hate him. Must all have been a part of the conspiracy charade. heh
how did the US become less facist
Azzarello, 37,
He’ll be dead soon... I’m guessing a day or two.
It’s hard to tell which side he was on.
