ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. — UPDATE 5:28 a.m.- The Associated Press reported that Maxwell Azzarello has died. The New York City Police Department confirmed the information with the news outlet.
New York City police say a St. Augustine man set himself on fire outside a courthouse where former President Donald Trump was on trial and he is now in critical condition.
Police say 37-year-old Maxwell Azzarello from St. Augustine was throwing pamphlets with conspiracy theory propaganda in the air before the incident.
Action News Jax learned Azzarello lived in an apartment building on St. George Street for about three years but moved out within the last two months.
“He was a very friendly neighbor, never too loud or anything like that, so it’s pretty surprising,” a neighbor who didn’t want to be identified said.
The property manager of the apartment building told Action News Jax he lived there in good standing, never had any issues with him, and passed background checks.
Azzarello was arrested at least three times in St. Augustine, twice at the Casa Monica Resort & Spa, Autograph Collection. One time, a police report said he threw a glass of wine at an autographed Bill Clinton frame, staining it.
The St. Augustine Police Department told Action News Jax he had a history of mental health issues but didn’t elaborate further. He was also recently on probation for criminal mischief and disorderly conduct, one of the rules was he had to follow the Marchman act rules, which is for drug abuse treatment.

Ping!
You called it RB....
“You’re fired!”
Feel the Bern!
Too soon?
Never!
When I think of St Augustine, I always think of SWAMPSNIPER.
Great CNN reporting (not)
CNN showed it live as it happened
She also said active shooter at first and did a gruesome play by play including saying she could smell burning flesh

It’s the capital of Switzerland and I’ve been there. I don’t think I felt it much though IIRC
It was hard to watch when they were pushing the gurney to the ambulance. You could tell he was still alive because his arm was moving but his whole body was burnt to a crisp and he had no facial features left.
FJB
the death is a good thing
no painful suffering for the man
no expensive medical costs to be loaded onto the citizens of NYC
Who gets to pay the $250,000 medical bill?
They should have injected a massive OD of pain killers and let him die on the floor.
It’s better to burn out than to fade away, I’ve heard.
He’s toast.
I heard that his funeral was going to be a roast.
Suicide is a terrible condition, the more horrible the death the greater the mental anguish.
Bing Crosby’s wife cut her own throat, I don’t know what to think of things like that except what were the outside influences which cause the mind to wander into that realm of complete hopelessness.
Buddhist monks being exception perhaps, but in all probability it is the work of satan and the minions of the that whisperer, hissing into the ears of the deeply vexed.
I heard he was all fired up to protest Trump.
According to the article he suffered from drug addiction AND mental illness......after reading some of the comments on this tread I really don’t know what’s so funny about that because I certainly didn’t post this as a joke.
What you said about attacks from the enemy is certainly plausible.
This will make Trump even more popular.
