Daily Caller ^ | 01/18/2017 | Chuck Ross

Posted on 01/19/2017 10:31:38 AM PST by SeekAndFind

A California man was taken to the hospital after he set himself on fire in protest of Donald Trump outside of Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday.

“I was trying to light myself on fire…it was an act of protest,” the man told NBC DC reporter Shomari Stone.

Asked what he was protesting, the man said he was “protesting the fact that we’ve elected somebody who is completely incapable of respecting the Constitution of the United States.”

The man appears to not have suffered serious injuries from the fire. NBC News cameras showed what appeared to be a pile of clothes ablaze in the middle of the street.

The man who sets himself on fire is supposed to be giving us a better idea to vote for?

Reminds me of the idiot who a few years back set himself on fire to protest something. He barely got got his pants leg lit when he discovered IT HURTS! He then ran screaming till someone smothered the flame.
Later he filed suit against the cameramen claiming they should have stopped him before he lit up.

Sounds like the current protestor discovered that IT BURNS and HURTS! Wonder if he will sue.

When at first you don’t succeed try and try again. I will donate lighter fluid if he runs out.

This should read, “Man slightly burned while setting clothes on fire for some stupid reason.”

He wasn’t serious. If he had used a pint of gasoline, he’d have made a nice show and now would be dead.

Just another lib virtue-signaling.

If you must protest, carry a sign. Burning yourself is stupid, and says that you are an a$$whole.

If his Obamacare gets cancelled, he’ll have to pay the costs of self-destruction personally, or his Mommy will.
