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.

It is a difficult lesson but feeble minds can grasp it.

That’s just it. They are completely unable to explain it. When they try to come up with some rationale, people disagree with them and they shut down.

Our church had a post-election Cry-In last week. These people believed all the Hate against Trump and they are just stunned. There can’t possible be that many KKK members in the US in order for Trump to get elected. That’s really what they think.

DJT might describe that as a choke artist.

Time for a new church.

Mine never mentions politics overtly, but I don’t think there were too many disappointed faces on November 9.

We were all pretty pumped up.

Someone should suggest to the liberals that they capture their tears so they can recycle the salt. LOL.

The mental instability of the left is being put on display every day now.

I guess Savage was right. Liberalism is a disease.

I’d pay into a Go-Fund-Me set up for liberals to do a “Gasoline Challenge” on themselves.

In a safety film for refinery workers, a burn survivor now safety guy tells of how he prayed to God for death to come quickly.
He describes a few of the many procedures, needed to save his life.
When you see it ,you will not forget it.

A coworker whose brother was severely burned similar, said the same thing.

Along with More Guns, Less Crime, Savage’s Liberalism is a Mental Disorder is one of the most aptly titled books of all time.
