“Witnesses described the incident as a ‘political protest’ although it was not clear what side he was on.

The man was seen throwing flyers on Trump and Biden around before dousing himself and setting himself alight, bystanders said. “

None of the reporters thought to pick up and read one of the flyers? They possibly contained an important clue.

Not exactly early ‘60s Buddhist monk public immolation material but it will have to do for now.

Nothing on Fox, incoherent report on CNN, looks like main effort is to collect the flyers and suppress the statement he was making

Someone on Breitbart said that it was a pro-Trump man who was protesting Trump’s persecution.

Take that with a grain of salt though, it’s the Breitbart comment sections and they’re not exactly the classiest people in the world.

He’s never going to survive for as long as he was on fire. Aside from the third degree burns over his entire body, which is itself fatal, he had to have burned his lungs out. They must have been completely seared.

I cannot fathom what goes though the mind of someone who would do this to themselves. How on earth do they think they are making a point or convincing others of their position?

I avoid burns are all costs. The pain is horrible. WHY do it to yourself deliberately?
