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.

The new church(more conservative) had the same issue. I’m pretty much dead to it now.

Too many people believed the Hate coming from the Left. Fortunately, more people saw it as just the same old mindless chatter from the loony Left. Now they are trying to fire it up again and people aren’t going for it. The old standby “racist Republican” is just blahblahblah now.

People didn’t necessarily vote for Trump. They voted against the same old political babbling nonsense. They voted for real change.

Either he was
1. A very fit 69 yo Marine who still fit into his uniform, or
2. A Marine who bought a new uniform for this, or
3. Not a Marine and bought a uniform that fit.

I know. There could be other explanations, but the guy was over the edge, so I vote for #3.

Build a man a fire, and he will be warm for a night. Set a man on fire, and he’ll be hot the rest of his life.

I guess this guy is a self-starter.

I just find it hard to swallow that Christian people could possibly vote for a candidate who entire life is completely antithetical to everything they claim to support.

Her abortion support alone should disqualify her from anyone who claims to be a Christian casting their ballot in her favor.

There is a delusional young man who attends a church I formerly attended who was strong for Clinton. I actually emailed one of the church elders about it and suggested that they go have a heart to heart with this kid and try to set him straight. Not necessarily on Trump but against Clinton.

Abortion isn’t a “Christian” thing. Abortion is wrong for anyone. It’s just plain wrong.

A Christian can believe that it should be legal to kill babies but they would be wrong. Christians can, of course, sometimes be wrong. Christians can own slaves but they would be wrong. Sin is an ever-present struggle.

Your political beliefs do not have an influence on your Salvation. However, I have found that liberal Christians have an extremely low tolerance for the truth. They almost recoil from it when it goes against their political beliefs.
I like to watch them recoil.

Politics make liberals mentally unstable because they believe they should get everything they want. And if they don’t they will fall on the floor and have a tantrum or hold their breath or or swear at mom or set themselves on fire.
