A protester who works in the media lit himself on fire outside of the White House during an anti-Israel protest on Saturday evening, disturbing video shows.
The man, identified as photojournalist Samuel Mena Jr, can be seen screaming in pain after he set his left arm ablaze in the middle of the street as shocked police officers and bystanders rush over to help, according to one clip.
Mena holds his left arm — engulfed in flames — high in the air to show others as several people quickly douse him with water and beat out the flames with pieces of clothing.
He cries out that he is a journalist as he’s restrained by DC Metropolitan police officers, according to another clip posted by Free Beacon reporter Jessica Costescu after the fire had been extinguished.
The left sleeve of his burnt shirt appears drenched in liquid and pink, superficial burns can be seen on his bare arm.
One passerby pours his bottle of water on the wound, video shows.
“We spread the misinformation,” Mena screams at one point in the video as a crowd gathers around him.
“I’m a journalist and I said it was okay,” he yells as a woman embraces him.

Why wasn’t there an assisstant with a bucket of gasoline?
These lefties always have pish poor planning.
Yay! The more antisemites and other Satanic badturds that self- immolate, the better. It helps prepare them for their eternal home in Hell.
Exactly.
The problem with this scenario is that they put the flames out.
Yes, poor planning indeed, and this guy wasn’t really serious, only setting his arm on fire. What a phony.
This was pretty weak sauce. He has a little burn on his arm.
Someone give the man 5 gallons of diesel for a do over.
A good day to you as well. One completely without pain, but filled with Republican Joy, which must be a lot more fun than Democrat Joy, an oxymoron if ever I’ve heard one. (Wondering if masochism counts as Democrat Joy, or just sadism. Does an act count as masochism if done in the spirit of self-righteousness?)
Liberalism is a MENTAL DISORDER!!
“They should have beaten the flames out — with a baseball bat.”
That’s when you’d say to “put some ice on it”.
Should have let him burn so he could meet his 72 virgins - 24 Hillarys, 24 Rosies, 24 Whoopies..
BTW - why did their “prophet” marry a child?
Because the mama goat would let him have her kid...
Next time, let me buy the gasoline.
They used the wrong liquid...
They should have thrown gasoline on his arm instead of water.
Will gladly take up a collection to buy you a gallon of gasoline & a book of matches so you light yourself & do it right😁
Well, now you embarassed me for being miserable on a Sunday because of a football team loss :)
You’re right. It’s a lovely day outside, things are looking good for Trump and I have my health...for the most part :)
Democrats derive joy from the same things the emperor in Return of the Jedi did.
They are just evil.
Your last question is a good one. I think it’s still masochism to light every nerve on your body on fire!!
Since a percentage of dems (ones to lazy to read) seem like they are not insane, just stupid...they must love masochism.
The rest (the majority) or pure sadists!
Have a great Sunday!
It's better to light a candle than to curse the dark. But I have to question his commitment.
Now they are getting the right Idea.
