There’s just something about that Antifa protester with his feet on fire
American Thinker ^ | 8 Sep, 2020 | Andrea Widburg

It’s the video that’s sweeping the conservative blogosphere. You know which one I mean: It’s the Antifa rioter in Portland whose legs were engulfed in flames that his comrades tried ineffectually to extinguish and that the police efficiently put out. There are other videos of Antifa people injuring themselves or each other, but this one has legs (burning legs, if you will).

There’s a reason for its popularity: That short video encompasses everything wrong with Antifa, and it’s okay to laugh because no one was seriously hurt in the making of that video.

Here’s the now-famous video, as seen from two angles:

I think it is preconditioning if he does not change his ways. And what were the police thinking when they put it out?

The video does explain a lot, and in a very visual manner. The Antifa rioters behave like undisciplined children who are not wise enough to avoid doing dangerous things that can harm others and themselves. The police are the adults in the room. The Antifa idiot started the fire. The police provided wisdom and order and put out the fire, saving the idiot from his own mistake.

I think if you went to a thousand college ‘educated’ kids...giving them the scenario of a guy with fuel on his boots and on fire...asking them what the solution is, the vast majority (98-percent) would have no idea.

If you went to a thousand Army or ex-Army guys...giving them the same scenario, asking them what the solution is, the vast majority (98-percent) know the drill and precise manner to extinguish the fire, and what first aid to provide the guy.

One group are people that you’d want in your community and to have around in an emergency. The second group would be better off in a pizza delivery operation and you’d never expect much out of them for the remainder of their lives.

Have you seen Slings and Arrows' clip of the burning Antifa guy set to Benny Hill's music?

I find it amusing that there is a woman rioter that screams at the police “This is a peaceful demonstration!” then literally moments later a Molotov Cocktail sails over her head and hits Hotfoot.

I guess there are two recorded views of this incident from different angles.

In the first one I saw, you could see a few police come over to help, but immediately they back off as if the antifa and BLM pieces of crap threaten them when they get close.

In the other angle, you see one of them does get close enough to get a squirt from a fire extinguisher in at the guy’s feet, but immediately departs.

They would rather see one of their comrades burn than accept aid from the police.

Nice.

My question is, what type of liquid was used? Looks like they made napalm or something similar, little bit of gas and styrofoam?

I like how the ad before the video compares the supposedly healthy activity of an 18 year old brain with that of a 55 year old brain.

Needless to say, I didn't buy the product.

I use an ad block so I didn’t see one.

Burns on the hands and feet are critical burns. This is thought to to all who want to work as medics or ERs.

It’s okay to laugh no matter what.

That short video encompasses everything wrong with Antifa...

That short video encompasses everything wrong with the entire liberal world. BLM. Antifa. Fag pride. Abortion. Ad infinitum. Ad nauseum.

Liberalism is the embodiment of everything that is evil hence, self-destructive. And if America does not turn back the clock, the fire on that fool's feet is going to consume us.

I had completely forgotten about Rod’s ill-fated Hillbilly Phase.
