Witnesses: Man sets himself on fire in Akron after post-election rant
Cleveland Metro ^

Posted on 11/21/2016 7:32:30 AM PST by TigerClaws

— Police say an Ohio man is in stable condition after he set himself on fire following what witnesses described as a rant about post-election protests.

Akron Police Sgt. Dennis Woodall says the 69-year-old man was wearing a U.S. Marine Corps uniform when he set himself ablaze Saturday morning on a city street.

Witnesses told the Akron Beacon Journal the man had become increasingly agitated after discussing the need to protest President-elect Donald Trump. They say the man had walked into a coffee shop and asked whether anyone knew who had organized a recent anti-Trump protest. They say he then left the store and set himself on fire after he doused himself in gasoline.

Liberalism is a mental illness.

It’s an illness that is self-induced.

Since a conservative is often described as a liberal who got mugged, would it make sense for us to go on a highly organized conservative crime spree?

JUST KIDDING.

The amount of angst among Democrats is immense. A bunch of my Dem friends have disappeared from Facebook. They are completely paralyzed.

Hillary Clinton was a lock for President. It was a done deal. The Democrats pushed hard to get Trump on the ballot so they could guarantee a coronation.

And now he has to live with the pain of being a burn victim.

Whatever possesses someone to think that setting yourself on fire accomplishes ANYTHING?

Besides demon possession?

The circles I run in don’t include too many liberals, but we’ve noticed the same in the outer fringes of our friends. We’ve got a couple relatives who are looney tunes nuts and they’ve gone off the grid so to say.

It was fun to watch them try to figure out what happened.

He lit himself on fire and didn’t finish the job?. Sounds painful!

You would need to find as your assailant a conservative black, American Indian, Hispanic Asian who is transgendered and is cross dressing as his original gender. That would be a rather rare bird.

He might have been cold and trying to warm up. Who knows. We need OWK back to answer that question.
