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.

I saw a picture of him with Bill Clinton too. At one point it appears he was a democrat. His latest writings indicate he had become an anti-government conspiracy theorist. We can be sure he is in incredible pain and if he lives it will be even worse. Cleaning and removing the burned skin is hellish!

My husband had a chemical burn on his foot that required a few weeks of inpatient care at a major burn center. He said at first his body self numbed but later morphine was a friend. First they used pig skin then later they grafted skin from his thigh to cover the area on his foot. The cleaning and grafts were done under general anesthesia. Now 6 years later his foot looks really good.

That chick reporter actually did a good job. She did what reporters are supposed to do: accurately report what’s happening. That seldomly happens these days.

Yeah.I think he was a Democrat but to be fair to the Democrats I think he went off the deep end. That was mental illness.I wish he had gotten help before going to that. Just horrible.I honestly think he won’t live. I am wondering if we will hear even tonight he has died.

I’m glad for your husband getting back to a good foot. Well, it’s nice to hear a good story :) The news is so awful lately.

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

We have rules. Nothing personal.

Not rules...more like guidelines, really.

He has died; may his troubled soul find peace.
I read that he spiraled downward after the death of his mother two years ago.
