AKRON, OH (WOIO) - The Akron Fire Department says that a 69-year-old man set himself on fire Saturday after yelling about the election results in a local coffee shop.
The department says the man, who was dressed in a U.S. Marine Corps uniform, walked into Angel Falls Coffee on South Highland Ave. yelling about the recent protests over the election results.
He then left the coffee shop and approached a passerby and handed the passerby his cellphone and asked him to video record him, according to the police report.
Police said the man grabbed a can of gasoline from his car and set himself on fire. A witness in a nearby business ran out and extinguished the flames.
The man was taken to an area hospital where he is being treated in the burn unit. He is in stable condition at Akron Children's Hospital Burn Center. Police said he has a long road to recovery.
Show the world you mean it.
He may be many things, but “stable” isn’t really one of them.
another feel good story.....
In the abstract, I hope he starts a trend.
On the ground, of course, I feel bad for the guy, who must be in a mentally unhappy state.
for later
Trump Derangement Syndrome at its worst.
Still cannot make heads or tails of this. From what I can surmise, he was upset about the protests, not the election results.
Not quite at the level of the Buddhist in South Vietnam, but close...
Yup. Gotta admire his commitment to liberal insanity and taking one for The Team.
It’s not a real protest until you put yourself on a month long starvation diet.
Borrowing an oft used phrase:
“Liberalism is a mental illness.”
Well played, sir. If you don’t like Trump, this is really the best way to protest.
Hopefully, the special snowflakes and SJW’s will follow his lead.
My 13.
Hillary supporter..
Video?
Here’s hoping this method of protest will catch on with the lefties...

It’s right up there with Otto biting his own tongue off in Sons of Anarchy.............of course that was just a tv show.
